She (G.K Barry) uses meta data off a photo from an old vegan blog S.B had to find an old address for him. She then sits in her car outside it, debating going in with the camera operator. They get very excited when they see a red car kinda coming out. Then they make sure to show the house and driveway on tv to hand the current residents of the house a letter to S.B. She then speculates S.B was in the house hiding from them with no proof or evidence whatsoever. Bizarre the BBC paid for this.
Sir Keir Starmer has announced a social media ban for children under the age of 16.
The Prime Minister said: “Today is a big moment for our country. This is a big step, real change for our children and our future. Because today I can announce that the Government will ban access to social media for all children under the age of 16.
“This is not something I do lightly, and I will not present it as cost-free as if social media has brought no benefits to young people, because clearly that is wrong.
“But government is always about choices and it’s clear to me that a full ban is the right choice.”
After subsidence left a country road riddled with almighty craters, workmen were sent out to clean up the mess.
It all went awry, however, when their own lorry fell victim to a large hole in the road.
Contractors from Stabilised Pavements were working at Butleigh Drove near Walton in Somerset when their lorry rolled into a ditch that had given way on the uneven surface.
The workers were forced to abandon the vehicle after it settled at a 45-degree angle, metres from a sign reading “skid risk, max speed 20mph”.
Photographs show other potholes in the road while the lorry sits surrounded by orange cones.
The stuck lorry has now become a tourist attraction for bemused villagers.
Stabilised Pavements, a road-repairs company, refused to comment when approached by The Telegraph.
It is not the first time lorries have struggled with Britain’s crumbling roads.
The Telegraph has launched a Fix Our Potholes campaign to push for action from local authorities to repair the country’s roads.
Pothole casualties have increased by almost 50 per cent in five years, The Telegraph previously reported. The number of motorists, passengers and pedestrians killed or injured in incidents caused by road defects reached 393 in 2024, up from 270 in 2020.
The figures laid bare the consequences of Britain’s pothole crisis, with roads deteriorating and lives put at risk.
In February, a lorry in Scotland encountered trouble after falling into a sinkhole formed after damage to a sea wall.
Contractors in Lamer Street, Dunbar, found their HGV stuck in the hole that formed. The 32-ton vehicle was later removed.
A resident at the time told the Daily Mail that the road suffered from a history of sinkholes. The resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “Another sinkhole appeared – the one they’re repairing now. The lorry turned up this morning to put some Tarmac on the street – this was the lorry containing the Tarmac – and it fell in.”
Richard Wilkins, a councillor and the portfolio holder for transport and waste services, said council contractors were working flat out to fix the damage caused by Storm Chandra and related weather events, the Local Democracy Reporting Service wrote at the time.
Somerset’s road network had been ranked among the best maintained in mainland Britain by the Department for Transport in mid-January – before bad weather hit the county.
A spokesman for Somerset council said it “can confirm that planned highway works are taking place on Butleigh Moor Drove (also known as Butleigh Drove) near Walton, and these works are being delivered by contractors.
“The road is constructed on peat and has experienced significant movement and rutting. Issues of this nature can occasionally arise when carrying out works in these conditions.
“A lorry involved in the works is due to be recovered today (Monday 11 May). The site will then be assessed to determine the most appropriate approach to complete the repairs.”
