Apparently the man who died was a former employee of Indian Railway... you would expect a former Railway employee to know better than pee on tracks, but institutional wrot is engrained in mentality apparently.

HMS Prince of Wales to be 'cannibalised' following mechanical failure​

24th April

A £3 BILLION warship which was only declared fully operational in 2021 is to be partially stripped for parts following a major mechanical failure.

The HMS Prince of Wales, which was built at Rosyth Dockyard between 2011 and 2019, was expected to be ready for frontline duties in the Royal Navy by 2023.

However, the aircraft carrier broke down due to technical issues in August 2022 during a long-planned visit to the USA.
Occurring off the coast of the Isle of Wight, the ship was less than 24 hours into its planned crossing of the Atlantic.

The issues centre around the starboard propeller although the portside propellor also needs to be replaced, according to the Mail on Sunday.

Now, while in dry dock in Scotland, some parts from the HMS Prince of Wales will be stripped to replace broken parts in another vessel - her sister ship the HMS Queen Elizabeth.

It will include scavenging the ship’s

and fuel filters, which separate seawater from diesel in the fuel tanks, as well as one of the chains from its flight desk lifts, which carry fighter jets from interior hangers up to the flight deck.

It comes after a link in one of the chains broke on the HMS Queen Elizabeth, which was deemed too expensive to replace immediately.
According to the Royal Navy, the process known as “equipment cannibalisation” saves time and money.

Repairs to the HMS Prince of Wales are set to cost around £25 million although the navy insists that it will still be operational within the agreed timeframe.

A Royal Navy spokesman said: “We remain committed to ensuring HMS Prince of Wales commences her operational programme as planned, in autumn 2023, including operational flying training and trials.

“It is not unusual for equipment to be transferred between ships of the same class to ensure operational availability and avoid delays.
“We do not provide a running commentary on the specific details of ships undergoing repair or maintenance.”

The scots know what's up

This cartoon is actually mocking China, as 60 yr old Indian trains are faster and carry more people that Chinese High-Speed Rail. The Indians just aren't sophisticated enough to fully understand the joke.


Anyway, Yoon is the greatest Korean politican ever...

This is actually a fantastic cartoon, credit to the artist. That it is causing Modi ministers to make incoherent screeching noises is just a bonus. Conservatives all over the world are united in their inability to laugh at themselves.
