I don't know what sickens me more. The way people will make attempts like this to defend the indefensible or the fact that there are Trump supporters who will happily nod along in agreement. Some pretty horrific details about Gaetz were released in court yesterday as well. Paying and supplying...

A lot of people seem far too confident about this series, I'm not seeing it. The Aussies certainly aren't unbeatable but that's a very different thing to going in expect to win the Ashes. Still at least we forced Jimmy out the team as he wouldn't still be playing by the time it got to the Ashes.

this is quite an interesting read https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/nov/13/who-votes-for-reform-and-why-charts-that-show-who-supports-farage-party

The difference in approach is noticeable. We were fucking around in New Zealand playing (losing) white ball games. The Aussies have pretty much all their expected test squad playing domestic red ball games.

Friend of mine, from a non-European country, works in the fiance sector in the city. Has worked here for several years, her husband is not allowed to join her here. He has a degree, would be working and contributing to society but doesn't meet the threshold. Makes me sceptical when I see...

They're planning new homes near me (well its been going on for years and there's no sign of breaking ground anytime soon) and all I hear is about the impact on the traffic. People who live in what were 2 bed terraces that have been massively extended to 3, 4 or even 5 bedrooms to facilitate...

Is that the letter to BBC that was sent to the wrong address, with the wrong legal wording after the date for action had passed?

So we've gone from him promising to release the files to there's no files to the whole thing is a hoax to ending the government shutdown which definitely isn't being done to change the news cycle.

So what was it people were saying about Englands Ashes squad having too many injury prone bowlers?

Can't possibly imagine why care home costs are so high. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/nov/12/private-care-providers-in-three-english-regions-make-250m-in-three-years

I used to work in live music, anything from academy sized venues to arenas / festivals. 99% of the time nobody ever checked passes and I'm sure if you turned up a few hours early and walked in with confidence nobody would have stopped you.

There's so many horrific things going on in the world at the moment its hard to keep track. Did we used to just live in blissful ignorance of most of it before the social media age? Somalian pirates are back in action after 18 months of little to no trouble and the UN reports the aid system in...

Recently I've seen a big increase in talk about 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants. People talking of how that demographic has higher crime rates and therefore there should be mass deportations. The question then is through what legal process are you deporting British citizens born and raised...

If you don't want to work to integrate people then what other option do you have unless you want to ignore our international obligations and just not allow anyone into the country? Even then the chances of a 100% success rate of stopping illegal immigration is unlikely to say the least.

This won't come as a surprise to most people.

I live near two schools. The number of parents (majority BMW, Audi, SUV drivers) who are all over the road and having near misses is astonishing. The speed they drive up my road, which is a 20 limit, is insane. You'd think people on the school run would give a shit about safe driving.

Some incredible stuff coming out. Fascinating to watch how people are responding to this compared to other instances when news channels have had to issue corrections. John Simpson reporting. "Donald Trump’s demand for a billion dollars from the BBC comes from a local Florida law firm. It was...

In what way?

Watch any cop doc on tv and it's the same thing. The police catch someone, pretty much red handed. A slam dunk you'd think until you get voiceover at the end saying the CPS didn't take things forward or they got a caution. That's not going to put people off crime and with things as they are if...
