No doubt if and when any are arreseted and charged we will hear complaints of two-tier policing

Doesn't a lot of this come down to what has been agreed. Have I imagined that there were reports last summer that he'd agreed not to push for a transfer at that point and in return for staying another year they would let him go this summer. If there's been some sort of handshake agreement and...

Read the other day that the government has 'paused' the electrification program and I think that was one of the reasons given. Basically the trains we use are so fucking old nobody else has them so it's hard to hire in extra capacity so don't expect any improvement soon.

Seeing as we don't have a shittest thing on TV that makes you want to blow your brains out I'll leave this here

Same pattern as with bombing the hospitals. Denied it was happening at all, then it was happening but it was Hamas doing it, then no it was us but it was a mistake, then it wasn't a mistake but there was a specific target. Then you reach the point we're at now where they're openly committing...

YouTube is shit because there is no thought as to where the adverts go, it will just be on a random timer. You'll be watching a concert video and halfway through a song its suddenly adverts. Thing is neither YouTube or Amazon have anything that would make me won't to pay so I just stop watching...

I really don't get the need to compare all the time. Wouldn't the better option be to find a unique selling point and push that. I watch women's cricket and I enjoy it because it has a whole different vibe to watching the mens game. I'd be far less interested if they were just trying to play...

There's some on YouGov, very quick google would seem to suggest most polls showing roughly the same results and support for Israel rapidly decreasing

If you're looking at polling numbers on this you need to look at the responses from people who voted Labour in the last election and they are not good for Starmer. The next question should be how will that impact on people's willingness to vote labour at the next election.

Ballard on Amazon Prime starting Maggie Q. Only a couple of episodes in but its watchable without being anything amazing. Pretty standard police procedural type show, Ballard runs a cold cases division staffed with an ex-cop and volunteers. Set in the same universe as Bosch but I've never seen...

The insane amount of adverts of Amazon Prime. At least on sky you can fast forward the adverts. At the point where I'm going to not watch stuff because the ad breaks are too annoying.

Looks like the BBC don't actually own the rights to Masterchef. Can't find any mention of Masterchef as one of BBC Worldwide's big earners. The three brands that repeatedly come up are Top Gear, Doctor Who and BBC Earth, which covers all the BBC's natural history output.

kind of sums up why a fence was needed doesn't it. people get told not to do something because it will cause damage in the area, do it anyway

I get the need to means test, although I doubt anyone with millions in the bank is going in the sort of care homes you and I are dealing with, but the limit is way to low. You can burn through that in a matter of months. Bad enough burning through your kids inheritance but in a lot of cases...

I have never known anything as totally not fit for purpose as care for the elderly. Every part of the system is a complete and utter shambles and the only thing anyone in a position of power seems interested in is how to push more of the cost onto the person in care, or more realistically their...

false 9

Seems the only people that can't see this, or are deliberately ignoring it, are the ECB. Now you've got IPL franchise owners involved we're fucked. There was an interview with one of the franchise owners on Tailenders a couple of years back and it was a horrific insight into how they view...

One thing that really bugs me about the women's game is the need to over hype everything. The tv ratings for the game peaked at 7.4m, which is obviously going to be the penalty shootout. Now you've got idiots on social media declaring it's proof that the women's game is as popular as the mens...

Interesting that it's being reported as a season long loan. Would be nice to get to a point where we have Dovin fit again and our goalkeeping problem becomes we've two quality keepers, neither of whom wants to be on the bench. That will be a big improvement over picking the one least likely to...

What is mental about this article is that the numbers haven't gone down because we've started processing people faster, or because there's less people coming into the country. They've come down because they are now put in places that are cheaper which raises the very obvious question of why...
