    Pitch Perfect is a better trilogy.

    Death List 2021

    My sons football are having a minutes silence tomorrow to commemorate his death. Now whilst that is all about being respectful, its not going to resonate with a group of 10 year olds that don’t know who he is and all the things that occurred in his life.... it’s not relevant to that demographic.

    Death List 2021

    Fair maybe on that one, but equally is it not a little OTT to cancel your entire broadcasting schedule because of this, especially when you already run a 24 hour news channel designed specifically for this purpose?

    Death List 2021

    There is a difference between people saying unkind things and poking fun at other people’s overreactions to the news.

    Death List 2021

    Not sure why they are strange to be honest. It’s sad that a family has lost a husband, father, grandfather. His legacy should be in his DofE scheme that allowed young people to have all kinds of new experiences and develop skills that they may not have had access to previously. You can...

    Have a day off mate it’s a joke.

    Someone will be postponing their daily wank as a mark of respect.

    Death List 2021

    I agree - but people can also show respect by saying nothing. It’s barely been 2 hours and already the Daily Racist is speculating on whether Harry and Meghan will/should return for a funeral..

    Biden attempting to tackle international tax avoidance

    Governments could do more easily if they do wished... for example not giving government contracts to companies that aren’t registered to pay tax in the UK.

    Death List 2021

    To be honest I’m pissed off it’s been nearly 2 hours and Greggs haven't released a statement.

    Apparently he’s entitled to one, but some reports saying he didn’t want one.

    Death List 2021

    My stepfather was cremated on Tuesday in Cornwall and could only have 16 at the service. We had to watch via video link. Not sure if those limits will change after Monday though...

    Death List 2021

    Without trying to be in any way facetious, what are they going to do about arrangements with these restrictions on funerals currently? Will they stop people lining the streets?

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    That’s the word round here. Lots of food preparation factories in Northamptonshire, and last year Northampton had a few issues with large scale clusters of infections in these type of places. I’m guessing chilled environments, not brilliantly ventilated would be good breeding grounds.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The locals around Corby are suggesting it’s due to a high prevalence of factories and distribution centres in the area.

    Things that annoy you

    Before I was a teacher I used to work for said manufacturer. The quality of fabrics used now for their jeans compared to 20 years ago is shocking and their prices are even more ludicrous now.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    To be honest if that’s where we are at in politics we may as well just move straight to a China style one-party state. It’s about making peoples lives better, not the X Factor.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Give an example of a policy platform where the Tories offer is more appealing to working class voters than the Labour offer. Just one that isn’t immigration related.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Do policies like an extensive house building programme and a national living wage for example not appeal to working class people? Or do we just need to do everything wrapped in an Union Flag these days? Defending ethnic minorities and these kind of policies don’t have to be a either/or you...
