- Damn I lived on Hillmarton Road, just up from Pentonville. Late '90s though, we just had the war criminal in charge and Britpop to worry about.MrT

Kemi is out.
Dammit. Makes me want to kill puppies.
Who is the least woke person among Rishi, Liz Truss, and that other lassie?
I need to know who to support now. This is serious bidness.
- They're all as bad as Boris in their own uniquely shit way. I support none of them as I didn't or can't vote for any of them. The sooner the Tories fuck off...Ianbolton
- End of the day they're all tories so fuck 'em all, but Liz is probably the best of a bad bunch :-/lemoucheron
- It doesn't matter, they all have the same corporate masters. Rishi will get it.Chimp

SAS unit repeatedly killed Afghan detainees, BBC finds
SAS operatives in Afghanistan repeatedly killed detainees and unarmed men in suspicious circumstances, according to a BBC investigation.
Newly obtained military reports suggest that one unit may have unlawfully killed 54 people in one six-month tour.
The BBC found evidence suggesting the former head of special forces failed to pass on evidence to a murder inquiry.
The Ministry of Defence said British troops "served with courage and professionalism in Afghanistan".

A hypothetical weather forecast for 2050 is coming true next week
Two years ago, forecasters in the UK conducted an interesting thought experiment: What will our forecasts look like in 2050?
The climate crisis is pushing weather to the extreme all over the world, and temperatures in the northern latitudes have been particularly sensitive to these changes. So meteorologists at the UK Met Office -- the official weather forecast agency for the UK -- dove in to the super long-range climate models in the summer of 2020 to see what kind of temperatures they'd be forecasting in about three decades.
"Not actual weather forecast," the Met Office's graphics said. "Examples of plausible weather based on climate projections."
Well, on Monday and Tuesday, the "plausible" becomes reality -- 28 years early.

Does this sort of thing happen where you live?
- Looks like they arrested these idiots. https://www.bbc.com/…Chimp
- Yes, because i live in Birmingham. BUT if you take that as a measure of the city or the country you're a moron. Besides, modern day Peaky Blinders innit.Morning_star
- I'm saying it more like, does this happen in Zadar, in Braga, in Plovdiv, in Kotor, in Gijón etc? I never see videos/news of such nonsense out of these places.shapesalad
- used to be armed robberies of jewellers near weekly when I worked in the Jewellery Quarter many years ago. Oh and fabulous curry houses down that road.fadein11
- Or is it just UK that has a large amount of mindless violence and criminal activity - of this level - in its cites and towns?shapesalad
- @shape, The cities/town you mention are low population less than 250k. Birmingham has a pop. of 1.2million, London 9million, Manchester 500K, You don't seem...Morning_star
- ...to be comparing like with like.Morning_star
- Leeds population 792,525 (219) so when you say 'large amounts' of mindless violence, I can't understand as I see literally none, except maybe a drunken fight.Ianbolton
- I've seen a robbery back home in Scunthorpe when i was younger, but it's never been an everyday experience - unless i watched the news 24hrs a dayIanbolton
- Yeah, ok population size sure.. but even small population Hull is a mess https://www.hulldail…shapesalad

- @phan, asian jewellery can be insanely expensive. And often sold in crappy looking shops like that. There are shit loads of them just down that road.fadein11
- @Fadein11 can confirm. Insanely expensive stuff.
@shape. I don’t understand what makes you so fearful. Do you really believe the UK’s so dangerous?Morning_star - the opening scene to Fish called Wanda?hotroddy
- Last place I was in before lockdown was an Islamic Arts Centre in Brum. I remember Bobo always going on about no-go areas like a dafty. Folk were sound.PhanLo
- @Fade I imagine, to take that risk, there must have been some value, but it looked like such an unassuming shop.PhanLo
