- Didn't they raid it because it was an Extinction Rebellion studio?
Bit of a farce having more police than at the Euros final to do it.PhanLo - Yeah, this is fucked

Perhaps the solution is old, but it seems to work even to this day:
instead of handing France £54m... (which is just funny considering brexit) perhaps just offer the homeless of the UK free egg and cress sandwiches and flasks of tea if they camp on the beaches of the south coast and bang those sticks morris dancers use, when they see a migrant boat approaching.
- When you think about the problem from angles, there are no easy solutions.shapesalad
- The Migrant crisis is propogated by those who are in war torn, crisis countries, driven into poverty trying to get to a rich country for a better life.Ianbolton
- The UK receives 400% less migrants than france and substantially less than other weathly nations. How can we not expect the poor to come migrate?Ianbolton
- The rich are now migrating into space. It's obviously human to want move around. Shame money doesn't so easily.Ianbolton
- Funny that you mention the rich...shapesalad
- ...back when trains were becoming a 'thing' the rich where up in arms that the poor might be able to travel and thusly come in contact with them.shapesalad
- Are you up for having gunboats mow them down Shape? Maybe you could go yourself and kill them first hand?PhanLo
- Whether you want those people to come or not, the face of Britain will be completely different in 100 years, it won't be little boats coming soon.PhanLo

- Speak for you, I personally didn't fucked around anywhere... I don't deserve this "punishment" .... even though I was told that migrants are a "chance"gonzalle

Stonehenge may be next UK site to lose world heritage status
- I don't get this - they're moving the current road WHICH IS RIGHT FUCKING NEXT TO STONEHENGE and putting it underground, so it doesn't interfere. So?Nairn
- I've only stopped off there once, but it was horribly underwhelming as it was, with a bus park and an A road right next to it.Nairn
- it looks underwhelming on photos too...neverscared
- A World Heritage Site is a landmark or area with legal protection by the UN. What's the point if they just cancel it when they need it most?Hayzilla

- i've read before that aberdeen and edinburgh have far less junkies than glasgow but don't have as good facilities to treat themkingsteven
- i know in Edinburgh a lot of them get their drugs on a prescription, but like a wee top up. So they're maybe on enough jellies to kill you or me, but add heroinPhanLo
- on top of that. It seems the government think it's easier to give them the drugs instead of treat the multi-generational trauma that led to the addictionsPhanLo
- A lot of guys I grew up with mixed methodone/heroin with alcohol and choked to death on their sick in their sleep. Went to a lot of funerals in my late teens.PhanLo

HS2 motion detector with Northern Irish accent tells walker she's been reported to police
https://www.coventrytelegraph.ne…
Rare occurrence of someone saying something is like 1984 and it actually is... but loving they've gone for the particular 'staunch country terror warning' northern irish accent that we know puts the shits up English folks of a certain age. Often think Liam Neeson built his whole career on his ability to fade seamlessly between his mid-atlantic eammon holmes top-of-the-morning and full-on 'I am the IRA' - is there a scarier accent?
