Agreed. A woman oughtn't to adopt her husband's* name automatically, though with consideration and free will it is OK. Men should also consider willingly changing their name to their wife's. Or a double-barrelled name, or no change for either. *long-term partner/significant other etc

5-10-24 State College PA We had peace through strength. You don’t have to send your kids out to war, have your kid blown up for a country that you’ve never heard of and that doesn’t want anything to do with you anyway. But I will not send you to fight and die in a foolish, never-ending foreign war"

I hear (on @bbc5live.bsky.social) talk of Manchester City lying to auditors and misrepresenting company accounts, which sounds like a law-of-the-land thing, not just a matter for the Premier League. #BBCPM

He’s obviously removing all anti-trump leaders ahead of a ‘national emergency’ so they can halt elections and seize permanent control.

Wowza, that's very complicated! Or seems to be. I should find myself a YouTube video on the American electoral system! I thought the 'College vote', or whatever it is called was crazy enough! 2 representatives per state, generally, regardless of size of the population?! Barking mad. (I'm prob wrong)

He is British and thinks the major concerns which political parties are not tackling are illegal immigration and the benefits problem, which he is contributing to by not paying a fair amount of taxes. If he and his ilk paid as much as the rest of us we could afford benefits, healthcare, education &c

Ireland offers many advantages, not least being within the EU, that the UK can't match. They have a reputation for encouraging those companies, lots of tech bros are buying up land and posh houses, and if they don't have the skills needed there are thousands of Brits more than happy to move.

For those older than 15, what does "tapped" mean in this context? From the BBC:- "Kit Harington has been tapped to join the highly anticipated Harry Potter TV series as the wizarding world's celebrity-turned-Hogwarts instructor Gilderoy Lockhart, HBO confirmed to the BBC" I genuinely don't know

I agreed with something a few years ago that everyone would agree with - no idea what now, but many people I really liked said "What are you doing/You realise this is a Gammon post" or words to that effect. Oh, the shame! Genuinely - your post is *NOTHING* like that, but I became v sensitive!

I've been trying to find a source that backs up the petition - even The Sun says 2034/44, to be decided. I think the petition writers are sh1t stirring! A Green Paper (this stage) is a discussion stage, review public feedback -> White Paper firmer policy proposals -> Inquiry -> response -> Act maybe

I don't think that is true - not yet, anyway. "Ian Murray, Minister for Creative Industries, Media and Arts, said: "Parliament has secured the future of freeview, also known as digital terrestrial television (DTT), until at least 2034 and no decision has been made about what happens beyond this"

The last PM to both enter and leave No. 10 as the result of a general election: ❌ Burnham ❌ Starmer ❌ Sunak ❌ Truss ❌ Johnson ❌ May ❌ Cameron ❌ Brown ❌ Blair ❌ Major ❌ Thatcher ❌ Callaghan ❌ Wilson ✅ Heath (1970 - 74) This is not newsworthy. It's just overexcited journos having a circle jerk.

So the allegation of plagiarism in his PhD was investigated and dismissed. It turns out he did run all those marathons. So tell me, precisely, all you online sleuths — what exactly did Jason Arday do wrong? (Apart from being the wrong class and colour of course)

Just had a thought. Farage registered a £9,253 benefit from George Cottrell funding a Belgium trip in April 2024 - before the GE. This is the time that Farage and his allies say he was "not in politics." He declared that, but didn't declare the £5m Harborne gift. Something doesn't add up there...

Good God!!! In any civilised country in the developed world *ANY* of this would cause the resignation of the leader/President/Prime Minister, if only because of his (and his minions) response! Shame on America, you don't deserve to be treated as civilised while you have your current hideous POTUS

Having no idea whatsoever, I had a quick look at www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/in... where the Beeb does seem to be correct. The govt has been reforming incapacity benefits for years to manage costs and improve efficiency. Projections indicate costs could reach £100 billion by 2030

What benefits are available to those who cannot work because of a health condition or disability?

Since I didn't know of you, I did look you up - anyone could put KC on their ID; I doubt that they would get away with it for long if a real KC with that name existed ... and you do! It seems others are impressed, too: "An outstanding advocate with a brain that drives at the speed of a Ferrari " etc

As a European looking on, we think you Americans are hideously abused by what some* like to call "capitalism" but others call extortion or abuse. Unregulated trade is not capitalism - ie monopolies, insider dealing, ponzi schemes, price fixing etc are illegal. Why do you accept your medical system?
