You were on here telling us how a girl who was trafficked and exploited by Epstein is a money grabber. Let's face it, you are a nonce-sympathiser

The Daily Mail has excelled itself today, telling the country that Big Ben (the bell) “weighs 13.5 tonnes, and is made of tin and copper”.

Can it be too long before they describe Johnson as “a two hundred and fifty pound collection of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon atoms”?
St George's flag is now visible on Big Ben across the River Thames
The refurbished tower has moved a step closer to completion in recent weeks with the series of new shields and the return of the clock hands to Big Ben, now repainted in their original Prussian blue.

*shrug* Slow news day over there. If I knew Big Ben's construction materials and weight, I had forgotten. Good for trivia night, I suppose.
Would it make you happier if the Daily Mail called Johnson a bigger bell than Big Ben, despite the relative weight disparity? They would never do that unless he was already dead and buried politically, of course.

I’d rather they say the bell was made of bronze, not the constituent parts of that alloy.

Bronze is weird, though. There are multiple ways to make that. Fun fact: they made bronze out of arsenic instead of tin in Ancient Greece, until they finally admitted that the arsenic was toxic. Turns out that copper + arsenic makes better stuff than copper + tin, especially weapons.

Speaking of the press does anyone out there regularly read an old fashioned newspaper any more?
Until about 5 or 6 years ago I'd probably bought the Sunday Times maybe most weeks and then the Saturday Mirror for a read of the sports section in particular on a morning to get my weekend going. But then I stopped for a while for no obvious reason and never went back. I kept up with buying the Evening Standard to read on a train home whenever I went into London but that was it.
Anyway- being in isolation this week I've had a paper every day to ease rhe boredom and absolutely loving it. But despite my politics being left of centre I just can't read the Guardian or even the Independent isn't half as readable as The Times in my opinion. I don't think it's particularly biased / right leaning but maybe I'm wrong?
Anyone else actually still read the British press?

Yes. I skim over the news and opinion and get cracking on the sudoku and crossword. The racing page is useful too and the tv guide helps the wife plan her evening. Personally I never watch tv but I'd always have a daily paper. It doesn't do popups, isn't monitoring my every move and it's perfect for mopping up leaks.
