Off to a good start then 🙄
Three people were injured in a possible “acid attack” in west London.
Two men in their twenties were taken to hospital.
Their injuries were not life-threatening.
A third victim was treated at the scene for a hand injury.
The exact substance used in the attack is not yet believed to have been identified.
The attack happened just days before the Notting Hill Carnival which takes place during the Bank Holiday Weekend.

a few years ago, the French government reduced the national speed limit from 90kph to 80kph, people with automatic gearboxes complained that their cars never went fast enough to go into 6th and thus the reduced speed limit was making their cars less economical 😂

I dare say, but the idealogical twattishness of the Green and anti-car lobby really gets on my tits
Also, the ruthless enforcement of the limit with cameras EVERYWHERE in London makes driving such a pain

Rory Kennedy’s second Boeing documentary is a bleak, gripping look at Boeing’s safety crisis after the 737 Max scandals and whistleblower John Barnett’s death.
Through testimony, archival footage and insider accounts, it shows how profit pressure, weak oversight and retaliation created a culture where warnings were ignored and lives were put at risk. The review says it feels less like a corporate investigation and more like a horror film.

"Notice how no one on the Right has actually celebrated Jason Ardays death.
No one on the right has cheered, clapped, laughed, posted a meme or made a video saying “ha ha ha he deserved it” …

Yet the right is constantly being demonised for being the “hateful” group.

Christopher Nolan's film The Odyssey, may have won rave reviews from critics but one person is definitely not happy.
Emily Wilson, the academic whose 2017 translation of Homer's Odyssey was cited by the director as an influence on his adaptation of the poem, has written a scathing review of the movie.
Published in the London Review of Books, Wilson said she "would be ashamed to have written any of this script", describing the film's narrative structure as "gimmicky."

Emirates has refused to accept delivery of 10 Boeing aircraft from its order of 270 new 777X planes, with the airline's president saying the delayed jets would be better suited as baked bean cans.
Sir Tim Clark, president of Emirates, told The Telegraph at the Farnborough International Airshow that the first batch of 10 aircraft required too many modifications to bring them up to current standards.
