  There’s also a lack of funding for the regulator which means the BBC is the one finding these spills, not the agency that’s responsible for tracking then.

  I think part of it is not wanting to be mugged off. Even though it doesn’t materially affect you, having someone come in everyday and nick stuff in front of you would probably wear you down. No excuse for violence of course but I can see how it comes to this.

  Instead of phoning 999 you just shout “medic!”

  Sometimes foreign policy involves stating a position, even if we can’t unilaterally make it happen. Macron has done this, which paved the way for other leaders to do it as well.

  If Starmer wants to be prime minister, he has to realise that he will eventually have to take positions on world events. In my opinion, just following America has been disastrous for us, and I’d like us to change that.

  I’m not out for blood, but if I was a woman working in the media I’d certainly not take any meetings with Russell Brand. That’s why it’s important to have this information out there even while it’s being investigated.

  People are allowed to have opinions about cases that haven’t been fully investigated yet. Jimmy Savile never got convicted but I’m pretty sure he wasn’t innocent.

  “As Brown intended, but Cameron implemented” - that was really nice of them to implement their opponent’s policy of austerity, a policy they kept going on about at the time and still try to defend.

  I wish the UK would do the same. At least in the US they learn a bit about slavery - here in the UK we learn nothing about the British Empire and its atrocities. No wonder we have statues of slave traders everywhere.

  Sounds like they’re trying to do the “Babylon Bee” but for the UK. Seems to be the same calibre of humour as well.
