Highways England are taking a novel approach to defrosting the motorways, best thing for those HATO vehicles if you ask me. Nobody injured but probably some impressive paperwork to do.

Nice to see the Police keeping people trapped on the motorway warm. Land Rover's, the king of adverse weather!

Unlikely looking at the construction, unless the owner has removed the attic insulation that was there when the row was built.
EDIT: And additionally the removal of one's insulation must be a serious crime in the flatlands for a photo of the raid to end up on the Haarlem Police website

Even when it's not snowing, helicopters with heat sensitive imaging would be enough to put me off growing above ground.

That one, and her 2 little sister made a pork chopper do circles over my back yard, with his camera pointed straight at me and the plants

Strictly speaking this isn't funny or strange but progress on the road to Skynet reached another milestone as a robot solves Rubik's cube in 0.38 seconds. Not sure how many cubes they demolished on the way there.

A great/rubbish headline on the Beeb's news feed, I really didn't know she had it in her.

If she's a robot, that would explain all the acting.

2018 Russian presidential election debates: best moments.
(turn the subs on)
(At 1:09, Zhirinovsky says something that doesn't need a translation.)
Suraikin and Shevchenko (a represantative of another communist candidate, Grudinin) try to decide which one of them is the true communist:
Another Putin's re-election, but at least they made it a funny comedy show this time.
This happened in Georgia. I can hear a Russian tourist swearing.

British passports to be made in France after Brexit 
For some unfathomable reason, certain portions of the UK population feel really strongly over what colour the outer cover of their passports is. The venn diagram showing 'those who feel strongly about having a 'blue' passport cover' and 'those who voted for brexit' has a very sizeable overlap i imagine. The uproar that this news will create is hilarious.

The UK (because the passport isn't just for Britain itself) has always been able to choose the colour of its passports (EU or no EU) so it's hard to tell why this has become an issue during Brexit. Besides, the story you posted isn't really about the colour but about the post-Brexit passport production moving to the mainland rather than in the UK.
According to the stammering government spod on R4 this morning the procurement isn't finished and it's likely that the UK will do what most other EU countries do and override the procurement procedure at the appropriate step in the interest of "national security".
