The only things that shut down London: (a) leaves, (b) 3 flakes of snow, (c) when you try to get on trains without letting people off first

He forgot a heat wave of over 25oC, though.

I think that image is fake, but I completely concur with the sentiment!

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 23/03/2017 21:57

Fake in that it wasn't actually written on a tube display but created using one of those websites.

There are people queuing outside to get into this thread, doncha know. Thousands, dozens, hundreds.

The message to Fox News wasn't fake. :)

I used to work fairly close to some 2005 sites, and you know what? The biggest slap on the face we can give ISIS is not to be cowed. To not even acknowledge that it was because of them, but simply a man who lost his humanity and his faith. Because that's not in God's service, not even according to Islam.

A few months ago I spoke to digital forensics experts about how to identify fake images, and they had great advice:

On photoshopped images, someone on Facebook posted a totally fake image of a weather phenomenon in our local town. A DM equivalent picked it up and used it as a front page photo. They had to retract themselves and apologise. Grin
The idiots had also used it without permission.

As a PP said several threads ago, Microwave, this is a marathon and not a sprint. I doubt that things will happen quickly - remember Watergate - or not quickly enough for some. You just have to hunker down on this one. 'She persisted', remember?
