Nice to see that utter moron Jonathan P.i.e. squirming after his creepy defence of Huw Edwards last year.  |

Seems to be common If you go back to Rebekah Vardy, she paid an IT expert to make backups of her data before resetting her phone due to issues, the backups weren't restored and no-one could remember the passwords, but don't worry my agent has all the conversations on her phone, the next time "dreadfully sorry but my agent was on a ferry and accidentally dropped her phone overboard"

Unlike firing rockets indiscriminately into Israel on a daily basis, without a care in the world as to who might be killed, this was a highly targeted reprisal striking directly at the terrorists individually. Turning the tables by bringing terror to the terrorists, you have to admire the ingenuity. The relatively slight collateral damage is obviously regrettable, but such things happen in times of war. The question that needs answering: why was the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon in possession of a Hezbollah pager?

Iran's Revolutionary Guards founded the group in 1982 to export its Islamic Revolution and to fight Israeli forces that invaded Lebanon that same year.
Hezbollah shares Tehran's Shi'ite Islamist ideology and sees Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as its political and spiritual guide."

Everyone knows Hezbollah is funded by Iran, but in my naivety I'd have expected a country's ambassador to be above engaging directly in acts of terrorism. It's not what you'd expect of a diplomat.

...but in my naivety I'd have expected a country's ambassador to be above engaging directly in acts of terrorism. I'm not sure having your trousers remotely detonated really counts as "engaging directly in acts of terrorism"... I very much doubt every one of the pagers was in the hands of somebody actively getting their paws dirty. There's no word on how many actual explosions - but a batch of 5,000 pagers were apparently imported a few months ago, and 2,800 people were injured by the pager attacks. From the video of a guy having his bag shredded in a supermarket, anybody not carrying a pager themselves would have to have been very close to be hurt.

Another classic from the Beeb telling us how to live our lives. Men on average are stronger than women - isn't that an advantage in many trades? Plasterboarding comes to mind and any role where one person is typically carrying around full size sheets of wood or plasterboard. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1k3k9y2dp3o |

🤣 I doubt most people care what the Beeb says and live that way.
Here’s another title from an article not by the Beeb.
Women footballers pay are a lot less. I doubt they get the same weekly wages for maternity pay

Plasterboarding comes to mind and any role where one person is typically carrying around full size sheets of wood or plasterboard. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1k3k9y2dp3oIn my experience if a reasonably sized woman (or man) can't carry something without strain it should be a 'two man' lift, there are also rules about how heavy a one man lift can be. Men often carry stuff they really shouldn't. A full sheet of plasterboard is really unwieldy rather than hugely heavy sensibly a two person lift I would say. A woman who is in one of those type of trades will be reasonably strong and fit by definition. But most trade jobs don't require huge strength, plumbers, electricians, brick layers, plasterers, etc, etc are skilled trades not brute force trades, and they usually have a mate to help with the heavy stuff.
