    Does this have anything to do with DFDS wanting to set up hybrid electrical ferries to and from the islands ?

    Exactly. The short crossing from mainland France to the islands would be suitable for an all electric ferry, and DFDS are looking to build a hybrid that could be converted later when charging is available. All yours.

    Yes - didn't think that would last too long.

    Shoplifting offences recorded by police in England & Wales increased by over a third last year - reaching 430,000+, the highest number since police started keeping records in 2003.

    Over to you.

    Westminster had plans to stop - but I'm sure they are still gaslighting the whole country...

    Time for another clue: One of the top three most photographed locations in this capital city, has been sadly stripped of the moving parts.
