What's in the news?

I don't watch the news much. There never seems to be the time and a lot of the stories tend to be rather depressing.

In line with the op all news is ambiguous 

Seems a bit of a shame that a member returning from abroad is not welcome to ask his fellow members if he had missed anything important while he was away. 

I would have thought that sharing knowledge is exactly what friendly forums were excellent at. 

Hm !!!

Out of interest K, what knowledge did you share with the member re anything important?

Where did anyone use the words not welcome or even imply it K?

Certainly not my posts - which aimed, as ever, to be helpful and even educational!

Having been out of the UK for two weeks now, we haven't seen a newspaper or any television in that time.

I've not seen a newspaper or television for a lot longer than that and I've not been out of Scotland, never mind UK. 

It's a bit like these glossy magazines - once you have 24 consecutive issues you can just keep on reading them in rotation each month as nothing actually changes. You can test it with the CC Magazine if you didn't bin them all by now.

The BBC on the Intenet should really be hauled up under Trades Description legislation for having five-day-old stories appearing under "NEW"s.

Goodness, 5 day old news, perfect for Ian who appears only to have contact with the outside world via CT....just shows the benefits of catch up news...

...I shared Knowledge as you did ,and i know what i posted was "news " as i had not posted it before

I will actually try to answer the question the OP asked very briefly. There is still a civil war in Syria and the assylum seekers are still trying to get in. Corbyn as been re elected leader of Labour and the junior doctors have suspended their strike action. Does that help? Thee BBC news website is very good if you have acess.  It's very brief, it's all I can remeber. It's probably very much the same as before you left.
