    Moving House

    First off congrats, secondly don't get your hopes up! I was moving from a rented place to a property where the seller had already had an offer excepted on an empty property and it took forever. Its more down to the people involved I think. They used some shit online company that took forever to...

    Immigration and Asylum

    apologies if I've misinterpreted what you're saying. what did you mean by: this seems to imply that rather than coming here immigrants should go to a more suitable country. The simple answer is for the vast majority they aren't coming here. Those fleeing Syria mostly got to Turkey, from...

    The Enemy at CBS

    Unless they're setting up a stage in the stand I don't see how this will be logistically possible. If they're pitchside they'll need time to get everything out of the way before kick off.

    Immigration and Asylum

    We've been over this. Most immigrants do go to 'more culturally aligned' countries. We're being fed a narrative that 'everyone wants to come here' that simply isn't true. As a country we're not even anywhere close to the top of the list of European countries for taking migrants let alone worldwide.

    That's a phrase I didn't think we'd ever see

    cricket 2025

    Big let off for the Women today in the World Cup. On another note it seems that the TNT ashes coverage is some weird hybrid model. They're sending a presenter and the summarisers to Aus but the commentators will remain in the UK. Add in that they have zero cricket commentary and there will be...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    How the fuck do you get a trial delayed to go on an 'official' visit when you have no official capacity? And why can you leave the country in the middle of a trial which is only happening because you were arrested trying to leg it out of the country?

    Immigration and Asylum

    Great post and sadly I think you're spot on. We thought the battle against racism was largely won in this country but now its very clear they had just learnt to keep it to themselves as it wasn't socially acceptable. That's now changed. I have a friend who lives in London, as they have done...

    Oh Dear Keir

    He would obviously have directly employed this chap and run his disciplinary process. Not the sort of thing that would be down to the Chequers Trust who own and manage the estate. Do people really think the PM gets involved with things like this? Do they think when we were changing PM every 5...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Seems a strange comment for him to make when Hamas have indicated a willingness to disarm and transition 'power' to the Palestinian Authority. Even more so given that negotiations around what shape that disarmament takes haven't even begun.

    Things that annoy you

    TV programs that do a recap after every fucking ad break. My memory isn't great but that takes the piss.

    cricket 2025

    Rapidly losing interest in anything happening at Edgbaston. They're certainly doing their best to make it hard. Latest email is one boasting how quickly the ODI has sold out. Scratch the surface and its because a) a big chunk of the ground is being closed so they can build that fucking hotel...

    cricket 2025

    think I preferred it when they were doing it on the cheap and taking the world feed. Odd choice of commentators.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    This was a known thing before the ceasefire came into effect and was independently confirmed by the Red Cross that it would not be possible to return all the bodies immediately, or sadly in some cases ever. Feels like this alongside the killings of Palestinians since the ceasefire its just a...

    David Coote

    Did a project with Relate many years ago which was around providing support to kids. The figures they had were absolutely mind blowing. You may think the number you hear about is high but it really is just the tip of the iceberg.
