Perfectly sums up Starmer really. Back when the same thing happening in 2003 protesting Iraq he defended the protesters. Now he's spending his time banning protest groups and complaining about the Glastonbury line up while letting Israel commit genocide while we supply them with arms and training.

Is it one per person on the waiting list, eg if you wanted 2 tickets your need to have paid for 2 waiting list spots? Assume it is and assume nobody has paid for the waiting list and then won't buy so there's only going to be about 1K left for general sale. Can't quite get my head around that...

Supermarkets drive me mad but I've given up on ordering online as you end up missing things you need and have to go there anyway. Why on Saturday mornings are they full of pensioners ambling around, people stopping for a chat, people on their phones etc etc. They should be places you get in and...

It's always quite shocking when you watch police docs. They will know who committed a crime, their name, their aliases, who they associate with etc but then still can't find them. Most of the time when they do eventually track them down its because they're flagged up on some random traffic stop...

Still at least nobody is talking about the now daily shootings of Palestinians queuing for aid. As with the bombing of schools and hospitals in Gaza we've quickly gone from Israel claiming it didn't to happen, to blaming Hamas, to claiming it was accidental, to doing it on a daily basis.

Hard to tell which side you're talking about here given a couple of weeks ago Iran's lead negotiator, Shamkhani, stated that a deal had been offered to Trump, essentially a return to JCPOA that Trump had pulled out of, seemingly for no other reason than it was negotiated by Obama and Trump...

completely idiotic. wouldn't be surprised if this is because his polling is horrific and he thinks a war will get people supporting him.

Why the fuck was he playing over the summer then. Potentially explains the end of season lack of form but surely if you have a niggling injury you're maximising rest over the summer.

The latest Storyville, The Contestant, is absolutely nuts. About a guy that goes on a Japanese comedy show and becomes basically the first reality TV star.

Saw it with my ex where she worked in the NHS. She worked in a specialise service for young people with mental health issues at risk of offending, and we're talking serious offences like murder. Their department was hugely successful to the point that people would visit from around the world to...

Fair enough. Personally I think we're going to be years off seeing substantial results given how fucked everything is. We're at the slowing the tanker down stage, still a long way off the turning it round stage. Not sure we'll get to that point as there's already people complaining months into...

Does there not come a point, maybe after 14 years of efficiency savings, that you stop thinking the answer to the problem of a huge decrease in the performance of pubic services in the last 14 years is more efficiency savings? Thats not to say everything is perfect of course but it seems pretty...

Just got in, thought id watch a couple of hours - pissing down

I think Iran have been within weeks of producing nuclear bombs as long as I’ve been alive 😂 Meanwhile let’s all ignore Israel who actually have them and have threatened to use them on Gaza

Anyone watched Adam Curtis' Shifty? Fascinating, but thoroughly depressing, look at how we ended up in the shit state we are in. When its laid out like this its quite shocking how quickly the changes happened and how people just rolled over and accepted them.

about £2K per room to retro fit

We seem to say the same thing every season but there just seems something fundamentally wrong at the club. Same thing every season. An unbalanced side, players coming in on short term contracts / loans. Never able to capitalise on promising positions. It’s now got the point where they’re a...

Read an article in the FT recently that said exactly that. Measuring public sector productivity is a largely meaningless exercise and comparing it to private sector, which isn’t calculated the same way is pointless. Article suggested that after years of austerity to then turn round and question...

Its heartbreaking and I genuinely think the majority of people who are against giving people the option of another way out haven't been through it with a family member. I had similar to you, the last three times in his life that I saw my Dad in any way coherent he was asking me to help him jump...
