Comedian Bill Bailey had his "tour bus" stolen before he performed at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.

Why's "tour bus" in inverted commas? Was he touring in a Fiat 500 or something?

Those "inverted commas" are cropping up lot on the BBC website these days. Such as Man "dies" after accident. Eh?

A Mercedes Sprinter according to the article.

So not exactly a five-star Winnebago with on-board jacuzzi.

Having lived in Liverpool, and having a Scouse mum, I can confirm the "if it is not bolted down, it will get nicked. If it is bolted down, they have a spanner." Liverpool experience....

To be fair there are sprinters and then there are sprinters.

This is Bill Bailey we are talking about?

More likely to have a couple of crates to sit on, and somewhere to store the carbon extending Swiss horn....

......and this is why, when driving a car, you should never run over a scouser on a bike.

It might be your bike.

What gets me is 'so called Islamic State'

What's with the so called?

It is what it is and they are who they say they are. Stop trying to belittle it on title. Retarded reporting. And every night, we get an opinion rather than the actual news.

Argh.

Argh.

because many more legitimate branches of Islam feel 1) its not for them to declare a caliphate or 2) what they are doing in this caliphate is not particularly Islamic. many other countries are refusing to recognise their claim to this title at all in their reporting.

Think it's actually a rare occasion of responsible reporting. ,"So called" is a measure to avoid all Islam being associated with these scary loons.

I think.

Its the word 'state' and whether statehood has been recognised in international law. The 'Islamic State of Iraq and Syria' is just a name - there is no recognised State. So the phrase 'So called' is used because the word 'state' is being used incorrectly or untruthfully.

Brendan Burns is a bit shite isn't he? Judging by the clip above. Maybe it helps if you're drunk.
