Pranking social media stars whilst creating publicity for the National Space Centre ... delicious - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan… ... along with the "handling sessions" for media stars, the National Space Centre should gave the prankster a real bit of moon rock for services rendered.
This is brilliant -

My wee lad has seen it and now wants to go visit the National Space Centre - spacecentre.co.uk.

You can't buy press this good.
The best bit though is it's a win win for the National Space Centre ... take the publicity (the first win) and then either exploit it more (everyone would support you) or sue the pranksters for bringing you into disrepute (everyone would support you). Love it.

X : Can you explain the difference between a graph and a map?
Me : In a map space has meaning.
X : What does that mean? In practical terms?
Me : In the following graph, tell me ... is it quicker to walk to Dover from Folkestone or Cambridge?
... now, let me give you a really crap map and ask the same question again. Is it quicker to walk to Dover from Folkestone or Cambridge?
Me : The key is space has meaning. When you change a map i.e. move a component within it then you're changing the meaning of the map.
X : I don't think your lines are right sized.
Me : The distance is written in text. A map is about the relative positioning of things in a space.

Labour calls for a no confidence vote - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi… ... Lib Dems side with a Conservative Gov - "we might do a deal with Labour but only a really right of centre Labour with the right shade of blue. Oh, and they've got to hate poor people" - no surprises.
X : Don't you think LibDems have a chance?
Me : They're 4th in the polls, behind the Brexit party. The only positive use for the LibDems is to split Conservative votes in areas where people are starting to feel a bit guilty.
Can we stop trying to be nice to the LibDems. They're Conservatives who lack the bottle to call themselves Conservatives. They're never going to genuinely support measures around reducing inequality, ending austerity etc. It's all corporation tax cuts and we love the EU.

X : Have you seen the @tom_watson video?
Me : "We should work together to solve Brexit, to stop Johnson and his anti-democratic attempts to sort of crash out" ... that's party policy. Good on Tom. I do hope @joswinson has the sense to reverse Lib Dem's position on Corbyn
X : But @joswinson is concerned about Corbyn's true intentions over brexit. Can't be trusted?
Me : Well, I'm certainly concerned over LibDem intentions on austerity, education and privatisation. They've shown they couldn't be trusted in the past - theyworkforyou.com/mp/11971/jo_sw…
... however, whilst the LibDems are more concerned with keeping the status quo with EU, Labour is far more concerned with austerity, privatisation, education and reducing inequality ... it's not an easy one but that doesn't mean common ground cannot be found.

8. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

There *will* be a public enquiry even if we have to set it up and fund it ourselves. Here's something to bear in mind. In December 2016 the #BBC revealed private advice given to Ministers, by Sir Ivan Rogers, then our ambassador to the EU. Who leaked it?
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Who told the BBC? (I notice that John Redwood seemed pleased to see Rogers go.) On 3 January 2017, Rogers resigned. Was he forced? What on earth had Rogers done? He had told Ministers, CONFIDENTIALLY, that a UK-EU trade deal might take 10 years to materialise.(Btw, he was right.)
Ministers insisted a deal could be done within 2 years. Well, they certainly got that wrong! Nicholas MacPherson, Civil Servant Mandarin, now a Crossbench Peer, said at the time [Rogers'] departure marked a "wilful" and "total destruction" of EU expertise within Whitehall.

The #BBC's @Hoskea10 digs into #LOBOloan bank debt at Sheffield City Council (from 27mins) bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… #Sheffield had to pay a £12.3m "breakage loan" to the Royal Bank of Scotland #RBS to escape a £20m loan.
Clive Betts, Chair of @CommonsCLG and a Sheffield MP said: "that the bank #RBS actually gets a double benefit, once for fiddling the #LIBOR interest rate, a second time when their council #LOBOloan interest rates go up" bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… #localgov #fraud
#Newham resident @rachel_shares said: "this country has to stand up to the financial institutions that made hundreds of millions of pounds out of them over the last decade. Who has the most power in this situation, #Barclays and #RBS, or Newham Council?" bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

The #BBC says it will not include abortion information on its Action Line website - a site that provides signposting for viewers seeking support on issues covered in their programmes - because it's too "contentious".

Our press release: bpas.org/about-our-char…
These organisations have written to the @BBC calling on them to reverse their stance. Read our letter in full here: bpas.org/media/3103/let…
The issue emerged after an episode of #CallTheMidwife, in which a woman died from an illegal backstreet abortion. Viewers visited BBC Action Line for support but were unable to find information on abortion.
