According to reports, it has happened in the Park Inn (a delightful chain of hotels just a few notches down from Travelodge), which is currently used to house large numbers of asylum seekers. I am not making ANY inference as to the underlying or immediate causes of the incident, just stating...

I'm not sure i understand what that means, FP! I consider myself intelligent, but only in science, so politics and philosophy are a bit alien to me. Could you explain? We used to just say "Bloody Thatcher" - is that pretty much it??

I'm sure the people of Glasgow will be mightily calmed by this tweet ...

At risk of opening up old wounds, there are many on Twitter suggesting they know it's a terrorist attack. No word either way from anyone in authority. Witness reports of "ambulance crews in hazmat suits", which is probably anti-Covid PPE, in all likelihood.

Honestly, you can't even give a girl a compliment without being called a nonce or a "serious stalker"?

But justified! Needs to be rigid plastic though!

If he didn't want her in the SC, why did he appoint her and not Reeves in the first place?

The Labour Party are suffering from an over-reaction to the theory that any criticism of the Israeli state or its policies (e.g. in its atrocious actions towards Palestine, in contravention of myriad UN Security Council resolutions) is anti-Semitic. It isn't - it's anti-Israeli. I have nothing...

That's what i'd do anyway - i wouldn't want to think i was celebrating American Independence Day - we lost, remember! :cigar:

My understanding is that if you're only drinking, it's outdoors only, but that have been something anecdotal i heard on the radio about the way some places are deciding to operate. I'm afraid it might turn out to be a nightmare. I'd love to be able to develop some sort of software which was able...

so-called "Ryan Haynes"

When you say he was on MI5's radar, he was brought to the attention of the security services last year because of a rumour about him investigating going to Syria (or Libya, depending on which version you read). MI5 reportedly investigated the report and decided there was no further action...

TVP said in the early stages of the investigation that they were being assisted by Counter-Terrorism South-East, although they didn't (at that stage) believe it to be terror-related. I assume that evidence they gathered (shortly after Matt Hancock made himself look a bit foolish on telly by...

He'll get sent to the extremist unit at HMP Long Lartin, near Evesham, where he can spend his time radicalising other innocents. Personally, i don't think it is particularly helpful pinning a label on something like this as being "terrorism". It doesn't make any difference to the atrocity of the...

The French have a white sausage called Andouillette made from chitterlings. Have had them, but not sure i'd rush back ...!

Very dishonourable mention for Marosi's missus. Yum!

My sugar snap peas are described as the first purple variety, called Purple Magnolia. They are soooo sweet! Quite attractive in the plot too, as they have pink and purple flowers, so look a bit like sweet-peas. The other good thing about them is that they retain the purple colour when you cook...

That is precisely why face masks or coverings are not the best way to control virus transmission - people DON'T know or understand how to use them properly. In the workplace, personal protective equipment is always classified as the "control measure of last resort" in a hierarchy, because there...

Oops - only 52! Sorry, love!

Hi Guys All the veg on our dinner plate last night came out of the garden - spuds, sugar-snap peas and courgettes! Courgettes, squashes, marrows and sweetcorn all doing very well outdoors (the soaker hose was really helpful during the dry weather). Cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes all coming...
