It’s being reported that a Gloucestershire farmer contacted the police when she saw a gang of men dressed in black and wearing balaclavas near that air base. Well done to her. If we all do this then it has the potential to become rather funny very quickly.

I was at the vets once when a stereotypically intimidating man with a shaved head and tattoos came in with his cat. When the receptionist asked for his pet’s name, he blushed, leaned in and whispered ineffectually “Frou-Frou”

This is either a massive failure of counter-terrorism intelligence, or a sign that the police condone these actions, or an indication that the security services have infiltrated the group and didn’t want to reveal that fact. It’s not a good luck any way No pasaran

Hosepipe bans are caused by organised foreign criminal gangs pumping British water into the English Channel to allow them to float bigger boats across carrying higher numbers of asylum seekers. It’s a vicious circle metro.co.uk/2026/08/16/r...

I’m longing for the day when the Government starts to shout from the rooftops that with an ageing population, minimal increases in GDP and care services in crisis, that immigrants are a large part of the solution to these issues and opens up safe and legal routes again

Quick question for the armchair pundits: Lionel Messi and Mo Salah are two of the best finishers in world football, so why do their teams have them take the corners rather than get them in and around the penalty box?

Everybody is talking about Andy Burnham’s popularity helping him win in Makerfield and speculating about tactical voting, but hardly anyone is pointing out what an awful candidate Robert Kenyon was. I can’t imagine he did well with women voters

I absolutely love the Azteca Stadium in Mexico. That goal Brazil scored when I was just 8 years old opened my eyes to what a beautiful game football could be. The tiny figure of Maradona leaping above Shilton to score a perfectly headed goal in 1984 was a great sight for a Scotland fan to see

good thread on where the centre right has gone - would also add that the '10-'24 centre-right people have mostly left politics now, as many were always going to do as politics is quite generational, but there just isn't a new generation of post-Cameroons willing to pick up those fights

The Sikh community are not to blame for what happened to Henry Nowak. His murderer will - rightly - face over 20 years in jail and there are other charges pending for those alleged to have aided him. That responsibility sits on their shoulders alone.
