It's rare that Julia Hartley-Brewer is the least unpleasant person in a head to head debate.

There isn't anywhere to go with this thread, beyond speculation, so will lock and let's see if it's confirmed and there any updates in time.

Much as the UK has lurched to the right in recent years, we thankfully don't have the US-style rabid Christian right. I think some of the knuckle-draggers who objected to say drag queens reading kids stories were more worried they'd 'confuse' the the kids or turn them gay or trans, rather than...

I get that and pretty sure that in the UK at least most child abuse is carried out by family members. It just seems odd to me that people are posting some local news story from wherever about a paedo teacher, scout leader, swimming instructor etc...I don't understand the wider interest outside...

Shearer was clearly better. He could score such a variety of goals, big game player for England, and also played a good chunk of his team at a middling -barring a season or two- Newcastle. Cole was great and I'm a massive fan, but having Shearer at United in the 90s would've taken us to another...

This story has gone global. It's just down the road from my old work and used to go in there loads. It's not a bad boozer and the food is decent. Swifties descending on it is an upgrade from the cricket crowd who come over pissed in the evening when England play at Oval. Taylor Swift fans flock...

The number of executions has been in double digits some recent years and a couple have been people with learning difficulties duped into being mules. The odd murderer is executed too, but these offences are very rare here, as you know. There's little doubt that the very limited availability of...

GoldenEye was the best multiperson shooter. Mariokart N64 was brilliant too. I need to dig my N64 out, though last time I did the controller with just one joystick felt so old and limited. Took a while to get used to again. I played this again a few months ago. Sabrewulf has aged better.

I only heard of this after Matthew Perry died. One of the sports channels was showing matches yesterday. Tennis for overweight and old people.

The report certainly indicates how fecked off retailers are with the police doing feck all about shoplifters. We get accustomed to crime in the UK- I was burgled twice, my wife had a bag snatched and I had bags nicked from pubs and that sort of stuff. You don't realise how nice it is living in a...

Every defender under the sun nudges players, holds them at corners etc... Agreed on Jackson. Trying to cut him slack because he's young and new to the league, but he's looked poor every time I've seen him.

Second one would've been soft.

It's ridiculous, what is the point of VAR if it cannot correct that obvious wrong.

That article, which completely overlooks the big rise in incidents of violence against staff, is quite old now and the British Retail Consortium has since put its 2024 crime report. Shows 'incidents of theft' rose to 16.7m from 8m y-o-y - costing £1.8bn, first time it was over £1bn- crime...

More English exceptionalism. Having FA Cup replays and a League Cup is not a supporting argument for the Prem being top dog. Premier League is world’s best – that’s why its teams failed in Europe...
