A lady of privilege and of the establishment who became a Catholic and a music teacher in a breezy part of Hull. A graceful, compassionate lady and a gently subversive royal.

A quick toddle round the Internet reveals that Mark Wogan and his brother own and run a small chain of pizza parlours called "Homeslice" in London which appears to be in financial trouble ( if it still exists)... I wonder.. www.restaurantonline.co.uk/Article/2025...

Kind of ironic that the son of a guy who did huge amounts to raise funds to fill gaps left through govt spending cuts (Children in Need)....doesn't really want to pay his tax...

Have just uttered the most bizarre sentence ever in my life given this lad's croaky voice. "Is it because his balls are dropping or has he just done too many seagull impressions?".

It would be interesting to see what would happen if, say a large bunch of South Asian lads from Bradford, were to waltz up with a bloody great union flag. British citizens to a man and fully entitled to walk behind it. What would these rw "flag shaggers" do next I wonder?

Fair point. But I feel in this case the issue seems to be around consent given rather than the harm done. Lack of informed consent and a "thoughtless "sexual encounter could both lead to an STI or this guy's humiliation so why is this trans person before the courts? Weird....

You've a rhetorical point to make. Fine ..That's your issue. But the point I'm making is about judicial consistency..not party politics

What I don't understand is why 2 in some ways similar situations, as I outlined, should be treated differently....The whole trans debate leaves me cold but I don't understand the legal logic here

If a woman had an sti and did not disclose this to a partner with whom she had sex, would it also be illegal in the same way or would said partner have been felt to have simply been prepared to 'take a chance". Or was this guy just embarrassed?????

Then we'd better have a bit less of this "leader of the free world" garbage from the US hadn't we? You've resigned. Trump's relations with Putin are nothing more than an orgy of narcissistic self indulgence ( and Putin knows that!) and the US is a dog with no bite

Why does the UK need to add to that jeopardyby continuing to house personnel from a suddenly spineless America? Explain....

Chopperholic.〓〓 @chopperholic.bsky.social · 22/08/2025
Fine..Given that the US's spine is now defficient, perhaps it might also be appropriate for them to fight from an even greater distance by closing the US air bases in the UK? We don't want to run the risk of US personnel being in range of Putin's missiles....do we?

I've pushed my average over 10k due to fine weather and Cornish scenery ( we live near Penzance). No doubt a wet and windy autumn will change that. I "collect steps" by walking most places in the day before having a longerwalk to " get my steps up" in the evening ". I enjoy it...

Incredibly partisan + inaccurate piece of journalism. I live in Penzance next door to Newlyn + count fishing folk amongst friends. Starmer extended the existing deal. That's all. Yes folk might be disappointed but the initial promises made to fishing folk by Johnson + the Brexiteers were ridiculous

Sky News can screw themselves. I live 2 miles from England's most profitable fishing port. Ridiculous promises were made by Brexiteers in 2016 that they knew bloody well they would not be abie or indeed willing to keep. Johnson and Co sold fishing folk down the river....Nobody else!

Well done to all those getting their results today Never forget the wise words of those ladies,+ gents who write for the papers and the TV. If you did better than you expected it's because exams are getting easier and if you did worse than you expected it's because your teachers are crap.Thank you..
