Wonder if people will ever grasp the Streisand effect. Kneecap have gone from playing to next to no-one to arena shows, headlining festivals and have now announced they're heading a huge outdoor show in Crystal Palace Park next summer.

It was so blatant I thought I must have missed something. One of those that you get home and watch the replay and it looks totally different to what you saw live. However having got home and watched the replay it looks even worse. I can't see any way anyone can justify that as the correct...

Wood out, reoccurrence of his knee injury. Once again showing how idiotic it was to send him out to bowl after he’d injured it in that Champions Trophy game.

Not sure what the answer is but even Saturday games now its been noticeable how many empty seats there are in there.

Too many overconfident people today. We seem to have swung from 'take a point' every game to expecting to give them a battering. Hopefully Frank has the team focused and not thinking they just need to turn up to win.

Seems like you only need a day or two of not exactly biblical downpours and everything is fucked. The last time we had an overnight downpour my commute to work increased by an hour every day for a week while they worked out what to do.

We've been down the route of stricter assessments before, it didn't go well. A lot of the times when this sort of discussion comes up it somes to skirt very close to saying mental health issues not being something we should class alongside other conditions.

Get them banned. No excuse for that sort of behaviour

Nightwatch with Charlie & Daisy-May Copper is an easy watch. Essentially Gone Fishing but replace the fishing with folky spooky stuff.

Went to the Empire the other day. Parked in Salt Lane and cut through to Hertford Street. After the gig it was exactly the same as you describe. Loads of people at the gig had parked there but people were taking one look and despite the fact it was pissing down walked the long way round to the...

Not sure the outcomes for kids growing up in poverty are great. If you punish kids for the actions of their parents you're just doomed to repeat the cycle. Now if you want to argue over the best ways to lift those kids out of poverty and improve outcomes that's a whole different argument. To...

You've got to hand it to Farage really. Years of 'it's all the EU's fault, we need to get out' and then when he finally gets his wish says it's nothing to do with him. But then repeats the exact same arguments but this time it's the ECHR and the same people that believed him last time believe...

Once again you're leaping to conclusions about what other people believe. Merely point out that emigration is largely unchanged in the latest figures. Not sure what you want tbh. Labour won the election in July 2024 so these are the first year of figures for a Labour government and show a...

This is the fundamental issues isn't it. Doesn't matter how much tax is when it's all going in the pockets of the government of the days mates. People are happier to pay tax if they see it being used effectively, we are a million miles away from that.

Interesting if you dig further into that poll when asked about individual elements of the budget the result flips and people are not strongly against the vast majority of things in the budget

I thought the episodes were OK but it felt a bit like an anthology show where a different character got an episode each week. Heard an interview with one of the cast saying the ending got changed late on to enable them to return for a potential movie or special at some point. Not sure how much...

Sorry to hear that mate. Being made redundant is tough at any point but this time of year seems to make it worse, especially when it comes from out of nowhere. Hopefully something turns up pretty soon. No idea what industry you work in but sometimes when a big-ish company goes bust you see a...

BBC reports that the figures show little change for emigration?
