1100 out of 1200 buildings tested show evidence of compromised construction

Many years ago the West Pyrenees Football team went to a swish Madrid hotel, they had never seen a revolving door before and all tried to go through at once - jamming the mechanism and crushing several players - this event lives on in the phrase 'Don't put all your Basques in the one exit'!*

Is it now time to curb the dangerous levels of bile and other toxic emissions spewing into our ears from the likes of of Hosking, Garner and Richardson (among others)? - using their now aptly titled 'Bully Pulpits'* to bully and belittle a 16 year old girl - who is merely asking the adults to look at what the adult scientists are saying, the fact that they are ashamed of their stance aside they deflect and derail,

The ‘highatus’ is over!
I’m guessing the more nuanced Timothy Fleary didn’t fly,

“Cameron Slater’s mendacious, bullshit-ridden site has finally been shut down – and yet, somehow, the grift goes on, writes reformed blogger Danyl Mclauchlan”
It would have been better if Mclauchlan actually got Matt Blomfield's name right;

I’ve never heard of Mike Yardley before...
What an enviable state to exist in!
He is Chchch's Mike Hosking analogue - with Stuff and Radio access
(ie: another right-leaning opinionated proselytizer and largely a waste of carbon) -
