I have my doubts that is real.
Me too, to be fair. Apparently the original audio also had his girlfriend screaming as another bear turned on her, but I couldn't hear the girl screaming in that clip.

I mean, really?Hundreds of motorists travelling eastbound on the M56 motorway faced delays of up to 5 hours today after a Pokémon GO ‘Gym Battle’ broke out in the middle lane near Manchester Airport.
Early reports indicate that the driver of a Renault Scenic veered across three lanes before coming to a sudden stop. The driver, with three children in the back, walked out of his car into oncoming traffic holding his phone in the air.
The popular game has caused widespread controversy following its release, as players are required to travel great distances in the real world to move their avatars in the game.
Speaking from Westminster this afternoon, Secretary of State for Transport Patrick McLoughlin said: “This is a shocking incident. I believe the gentleman involved was 45 years old and spent half an hour battling with a 9 year old to takeover a ‘Gym’, which happened to be positioned in the middle lane of the M56. May I be the first to call this man a complete quilt”.
47 people are said to have missed their flights, and the estimated cost to the taxpayer to clear the tailbacks is likely to reach the hundreds of thousands. A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: “This game is ridiculous. Back in my day, if you wanted to walk around looking for big pink dragons and blue tortoises, you’d just take some acid like a normal person”.

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/07/15/french-lawmakers-told-bataclan-terrorists-tortured-disemboweled-victims.htmlA French government committee has heard testimony, suppressed by the French government at the time and not published online until this week, that the killers in the Bataclan tortured their victims on the second floor of the club.
The chief police witness in Parliament said that an investigating officer, tears streaming down his face, rushed out of the Bataclan and vomited in front of him just after seeing the disfigured bodies.
According to this testimony, Wahhabist killers apparently gouged out eyes, castrated victims, and shoved their testicles in their mouths. They may also have disemboweled some poor souls. Women were stabbed in the genitals – and the torture was, victims told police, filmed for Daesh or Islamic State propaganda. For that reason, medics did not release the bodies of torture victims to the families, investigators said.
But prosecutors claimed these reports of torture were “a rumor” on the grounds that sharp knives were not found at the scene. They also claimed that maybe shrapnel had caused the injuries.

Given that opiates tend to calm people, then yeah. Religion was a very useful self-domestication tool.

A truck ploughed into Bastille Day celebrators in Nice and the driver then drew a gun, killing tens of people. Isolated gun incidents. Bomb alert in Nice Airport.
Death toll may be as high as fifty, so far.
Another sad day for France.

"similar deals would be negotiated with other key EU nations"
Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he could've simply meant the UK would engage EU governments individually to see where they stood before negotiating under the CCP. But I can't really say without seeing his specific wording.
You're more trusting than I am. I see how this could've all been a misunderstanding caused by incredibly poor wording, but I'm not particularly convinced. No matter how you look at it, the EU is a trade bloc where a trade agreement made with the Union applies to all member states equally. Talking about concluding a specific "UK-Germany deal" where its cars will be protected in exchange for other concessions and suggesting "similar deals" with other countries regarding their particular exports sends the wrong signal no matter how you look at it.
Here's a picture of the tweets before he took them down without explanation after a lot of people started taking notice of it.
I'm not saying that's what I think of Davis, merely that it's a possibility. And, to be fair, that's what I take away from the tweets having read them. It's correct that all EU countries must accept a UK-EU FTA right? Listing the interests of the individual countries doesn't particularly seem amiss, even if he cack-handedly referred to them as "deals". It looks to me like he's saying "Germany wants X, France wants Y, Poland wants Z" and this could be used as leverage in negotiations. I mean, it's a real possibility that I'm being unconsciously biased in favour of Davis (and you somewhat against, for that matter). Ultimately we'll just have to see how he handles the negotiations. EDIT: I'll admit deleting them after people pointed out his error is quite dodgy, however. Not best pleased with that.

his first remarks about how Brexit would go down failed to note the fact that EU member states can't draft their own independent trade agreements with non-EU countries.
Would you mind putting this in context? It's one thing to say he "failed to note" it, another to say he ignored it to the detriment of the point he was making.

Johnson and Fox? Fucking hell.
Johnson's role has been gutted, and Fox's role looks to be more about establishing non-EU trade connections. In terms of our withdrawal from the EU, Davis is the most important man right now. I also think her decision is less to do with putting it on the heads of the people who 'fucked it up'--if she felt that way, she would've actually campaigned instead of being an incredibly quiet, but outspokenly Eurosceptic, Remainer. It feels more like her trying to reconcile with Brexiteers by putting them in the positions they most want.

There's a chance May might be able to deliver some true One Nation Conservatism.
Can you elaborate?
Cameron made a lot of noises about delivering a One Nation Conservative agenda, which is basically a way of saying a less Thatcherite and more centrist/centre-Left kind of conservatism. He made some moves in this direction, but it looks like May is kicking it into high-gear.

Oh wow.
Okay, looks like the Dept. of Business isn't being scrapped and the Department of Energy is. Greg Clark is now the minister for Business, Energy and (here's the fucking kicker) Industrial Strategy.
Smart move combining the Energy and Climate Change Department with Business and Industry tbf.

What do you reckon the chances of a general election are to renew the mandate?
Highly unlikely. Due to the 2011 Fixed Terms Parliament Act, the only way to have an early election is either through a vote of no confidence in the government or a parliamentary super-majority to call for an early one. I also imagine May is less concerned with having a democratic mandate than she is sorting out the shit-show she has been handed.

May's actually being pretty clever in sticking Brexiteers into Departments most affected by Brexit.

Still waiting for the Energy, Culture and International Development Secretaries to be announced.
Department of Business will probably be scrapped.
