Driving my son down to Kent Uni on Saturday and have made a playlist of the songs that were the soundtrack to his childhood to listen to on the way down They’re mostly memories of very good times but god I’m going to be a mess when Remember Me by The Zutons (his favourite song aged 3) comes on

Astonishing to hear people say they'd rather asylum seekers drowned than be saved by the RNLI. Next comes letting people die in burning hostels rather than be saved by the fire brigade and letting people get kicked to death in the street rather than be saved by the Police. Don't platform this hate.

one of the UK's peculiarities is that the *law* - last updated in 1998 - mandates a collective daily act of worship "wholly or mainly of a broad Christian character' in state schools unless the school explicitly opts out or has another religious mandate. But the law just isn't enforced.

Ospreay/Omega was fucking amazing. They worked the perfect story. Kenny played the evil final boss to the top spot to perfection and Ospreay took one insane bump after another. Electric crowd. One of the best AEW matches of all time. Exactly what it should have been.
