They have stated, "We can confirm that Sue Gray has provided an update on her investigations to the prime minister."

Does that mean the report has been received or only the latest on when the report will be received?

[Khandro]

Meanwhile in the real world, Dangerous Dopy Joe Biden is "ready to unleash 'nuclear option' and send Putin 'back to Stone Age' over Ukraine" while the Brits focus on whether Boris had a piece of his own birthday cake.

// Biden is "ready to unleash 'nuclear option' and send Putin 'back to Stone Age' over Ukraine //

Calm down. No he hasn’t. Russia hasn’t even invaded yet. Boris has gone to Ukraine to be a human shield.

Thank you grom-grom
mucho best-answer to you my boy

[Peter Pedant]

the cartoon is great - like the tufts on boris's coat which COULD be ermine and shows his upper class and right to rule us
( poncey-ness to proles on AB)

[Peter Pedant]

hey and no dopey AB one liner classics
like - "foo yeah go on googling"
or " jimmy crack corn and Ah doan care"

yet

[Gromit]

Khandro,
You must read past the headline.

https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1558430/biden-nuclear-option-putin-stone-age-ukraine-swift-russia

// Mr Biden has warned the Russian President that the consequences of an invasion would be “severe”. One of those is expected to be removing Russia from the SWIFT payment system.

Brandon Weichert, founder of The Weichert Report: An Online Journal of Geopolitics, told Express.co.uk: “The SWIFT option is the proverbial nuclear option in terms of sanctions. //

LOL

Khandro, //Dangerous Dopy Joe Biden is "ready to unleash 'nuclear option' and send Putin 'back to Stone Age' //

That gives a false impression. Although he is dopey and dangerous, Biden didn't say anything about the Stone Age. According to this, 'an expert' said that.

//the Brits focus on whether Boris had a piece of his own birthday cake. //

Good to know we have our priorities right.

[Peter Pedant]

oh can we open a book on whether and how much weill be redacted?

and whether there is pre-redaction ( Sue Gray redacting B4 handing over the report on the reasonable grounds that it is too shocking for a much married PM)

[douglas9401]

I note that Sue Gray is an anagram of sugarey.

Wonder if it'll be a cloying confection.

// Dangerous Dopy Joe Biden is "ready to unleash 'nuclear option' and send Putin 'back to Stone Age'//

oh what short memories we all on AB have:
(buut that doesnt stop the inevitable flood of possy litttle comments)

Bombs Away with Curtis E Lemay - was a catch phrase during the War ( Viet name War silly) because he had overseen the flattening of Japan in 1945. They ran out of cities to bomb apparently ( and raze). He was chosen as George Wallace's running mate ( for president silly). (Not a nice person but too much detail for AB) and HE was the one that threatened to bomb North Vietnam back into the stone age - and would NOT rule out tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield

eek !

Bombing reduced N Viet industrial out put to 2% of previous. (they imported good and arms)anyway. The most intense AA fire of anywhere anytime ( Anti-aircraft lardy lardy) was - - Hanoi against the B52s ( no not Berlin or London or Tokyo)

[ichkeria]

It’s just an update on the report isn’t it?

[Peter Pedant]

// If LeMay didn't say "bomb Vietnam back to the stone age", then where did it come from? Googling suggests Goldwater as a possibility, but I didn't see any trustworthy source. It would be good to have the definitive answer to what's starting to look like an urban legend// 2004 - wiki

well almost right
better than "foo go on googling!" which seems to make a regular appearance

[Peter Pedant]

eek really
update
I wdnt a done all that bit on LeMay in that case

[Gromit]

// I have fully investigated the events in Downing Street during the covid pandemic.
I have found [ Redacted so as to not prejudice the ongoing Police investigation ].
Thank you, Sue Gray (Mrs). //

[ichkeria]

Even by tabloid standards that headline is shockingly misleading

Anyway. No SWIFT might have been a “nuclear” option in 2014.
It isn’t any more

[ichkeria]

“Express” headline

[Khandro]

I'm simply pointing out that outside of the UK bubble, while dealing with real issues, the world looks on in amazement at a country tearing itself to shreds over birthday cake, wallpaper & the odd bottle of vino.

and Gromit, Boris has gone to Ukraine for no other reason than hoping to remove some of the heat surrounding him at home.
