Just leased a place in Camden for my daughter. Hope it’s not too fucked there
- She’s doing her masters’ in London this fallGnash
- Just don't ask Shapesalad... .
Camden's alright. Just expensive, abit grotty and a shadow of a shadow of its former former self.Nairn - She's obviously got you around her little finger - you didn't want to try somewhere a little further out, or is your bank balance ok these days? ;)Nairn
- Good old coffee roasters there, guy is like 85 or something. Also good Portuguese store for pastries.shapesalad
- Camden is a bit rough around the edges but it's fine. Plus you have Primrose Hill near by.Chimp
- Haha nairn, maybe a littleGnash
- camden is a total tourist/ne'er-do-wel... shithole in the middle, but oddly the edges are ok.hans_glib
- Near Mornington Crescent tube. school is in Bloomsbury areaGnash
- Bloomsbury's quite posh, and I imagine if she's part of the set there, that's where she'll spend her time. Mornington's fine - 5/10 mins walk from Camden properNairn
- For next time, you could've gone anywhere north of Kings Cross that's near the Piccadilly or Victoria Lines and saved yourself a few bob ;)Nairn
- I'm curious to know how much my daughter will have me around her little finger when she's at that sort of an age. i've got a wee while to prepare / die.Nairn
- Lol, next time for sure. And yes, start saving :)Gnash
- I've got a few friends in Camden and been out drinking there a few times. Think it's easy to see the bits to avoid, but generally good. Please don't die Nairn!Ianbolton

- FloL. Col Thom was a hero, the man single-handedly saved the NHS and the country.
Waste of court time.PhanLo - Scottish Sun, now there's an oxymoron.MrT
- yet child rapes and brain damaging assaults get pitifully light sentences and court time wasted on chasing people's tweets on twitter...shapesalad
- ^yep and apart from the sentiment against brit soldiers (you would have to jail half of scot and N.I.) it's essentially saying 'go to hell' to a dead mankingsteven
- hard to believe that the judge's own politics aren't a factor here. should have been thrown out esp. with the backlog in the courtskingsteven

I'm sadly watching Boris Johnson in parliament get a grilling from fellow MPs. Not sure I've ever seen such a roundabout of complete and utter political nonsense. The whole of our political landscape in the UK has been blurred as power is gained through sheer incompetence and constant gaslighting. It's embarrassing the main debate in this country has devolved into whether the Prime Minister was a party or not (which he was). It's unwatchable.
- It's really embarrassing.Chimp

- Ian Blackford is one of the few men in there of subsistence.shapesalad

Middle-class drug users could lose UK passports under Boris Johnson’s plans
Campaigners say government going backwards by targeting ‘lifestyle’ users of class A drugs with tough criminal sanctions- Anything but legalise them.PhanLo
- Thank fuck i'm working class. Rack 'em up.Morning_star
- Good, less hyperactive jabbering pot heads in the airport lounges, something to be thankful for.shapesalad
- Pot is class B, ya knob.scruffics
- Yeah, and the coocaine snorters love to do joint too, just to get a brain buzz, without realising they are causing demand in a supply chain of MISERY!shapesalad
- FACT 99% of the pointless crime is implicate in recreational drug use. A minority of the population causing misery for the silent majority.shapesalad
- Hyperactive jabbering potheads in airport lounges? Cocaine snorters love to do joint too for a brain buzz? You HAVE to be a parody account.Nairn

- terrible source yes but one of the few that hasn't edited his language.fadein11
- I could chat so much about this, after a entire youth playing cricket for school, clubs etc. This problem wasn't there back then (80's) fromfadein11
- my experience. Noone gave a shit about race. We are reverting as a nation.fadein11
- Admittedly I only had one county trial and got hit in the ribs by a very fast bowler. But sport just didn't seem racist in my world back then. Noone cared.fadein11
- This was a shock. I played cricket throughout my childhood. 1987-96 schools/clubs. It always had a lot of Asian involvement and I never saw any racism ever.Hayzilla
- Yep. precisely my experience.fadein11
- I certainly wasn't arguing against him either, just amazed where this country is right now.fadein11
- ^ Oh I'm not doubting him either. They sound like a shower of absolute cunts at the top level. Disgusting. It is just a shock to me personally. Sack em all.Hayzilla
- yep, awful, no arguments. he's 100% genuinefadein11
- Listening to this report made me think of the racial divide growing up back home in Scunthorpe. The language used mirrors...Ianbolton
- the same laddish behaviours seen throughout my school year, learning from the fears of our parents in an ever changing mining townIanbolton
- Seeing comedians like Jim Davidson say the word 'paki' only normalised this divisive behaviour, and to see it still used today is horribleIanbolton
- oh you are totally correct, the UK went through the whole PC/culture war in the 80's, a whole generation of UK comedians were cancelled overnight and rightly sofadein11
- But my experience of school / sport / life we all got along, yes there was occasional banter but I was clearly lucky growing up with very few of these issuesfadein11
- or lucky that our group didn't inflict this on others I should say. Hard to believe, this happened in top flight sport in 2017fadein11
- I've worked in sport for 7 years of my life and the fight against racism is stronger now than ever. Mainstream sport is the perfect vessel...Ianbolton
- to create a narrative when 40-50k football supporters sit there ever week seeing a movement like 'stamp out racism' play out.Ianbolton
- it spreads as each of those old school racists realise that their 'team' has a togetherness regardless of race. At school, racism was never that...Ianbolton
- much of a big deal - especially during sports - as generally everyone is usually too busy pissing about being a kid. Occassional banter is how it lived onIanbolton
- Maybe it’s something we notice more as we get older. As kids we’re blind to politics and race, we’re all just kids. I notice this with my kid’s soccer team_niko
- 20 kids from 20 different cultures and they couldn’t care less. I wonder though when they become teens and identity and belonging starts to matter more_niko
- Maybe this is when some ugly thoughts and actions start to take shape. I mean teenagers are little shits at the best of times, partly due to hormones._niko
- So I guess what I’m saying is it’s not the times but the time in our lives._niko
- and it's funny because as the dads who watch our kids we all get along famously, drinks, trips, gatherings, or just shooting the shit on the sidelines nightly._niko
- we've all become a close knit family, but when we were in our teens and early twenties, we were skinheads, Tamil Tigers, rudeboys, islamists, mobsters etc_niko
- and tended to stick within our own tribe. So I guess we mature and grow out of it at some point and revert back to the wonderful joy of childhood._niko
- Turns out Azeem isn’t a big fan of the Jews. he apologized for the ‘racist banter’ so it’s cool nowGnash

UK is not so fucked, perhaps, in this instance?
Rolls Royce secure funding for development of mini (-ish) nuclear fission reactors...
https://www.theguardian.com/busi…
secures-450m-for-mini-nuclear-re...I've been following this for about four years now and am super happy to see that it's finally taking shape. This could be a big step for British industry and Britain's climate commitments. Never mind exports down the line and a reclamation of what was a world-leading industry that has been utterly shat on for the past two or three decades.
If Britain had had more spine and kept in line with France's commitment to nuclear power, we could have been one of the lowest carbon-emitting developed countries in the world.
What was is someone said here earlier about the best time to plant a tree...?

- agreed but BMW own Rolls Roycefadein11
- I do agree though in principle, nuclear seems to be the only realistic option right now.fadein11
- BMW own the Rolls Royce automative marque only - not Rolls Royce the Industrial conglomerate that makes jet engines and nuclear reactorsNairn
- Apparently I don't know what a conglomerate is, lol. I don't know why i added that word.Nairn

Games Workshop is worth more than the entire UK Fishing industry.- you would have done well buying their shares a year ago.shapesalad
- Games workshops company valuation is inflated due to covid. It's annual income is still LESS that the annual income of the UK fishing industry.Morning_star
- GW 2021 Income - £353m
Fishing 2019 Income - £437m. These are both minuscule compared to Financial Services at £132bnMorning_star - That's still great money for painted figurines. :-)PhanLo
- 100% phanlo, great company and employer as well. Also I doubt the 2021 fishing figures will be close.fadein11

I hope all the Brexiteers are happy about the empty shelves in supermarkets these days and severe delays on getting ... well, loads of shit.
Good job, guise. Well fucking done.
It's getting to be like a failing communist state out there.
- No fucking sparkling Scots water in my supermarket for two weeks; no critical to me British-made material I need for work for 2 months. Excellent. Lovin' it.Nairn
- (as in, it's not just imported stuff that's been viciously throat-fucked by the idiots in charge)Nairn
- I think it may have something to do with the impact that Covid has had on the manufacturing and delivery workforce.Morning_star

Footage of "sinister" police raid on Antepavilion building triggers anger ahead of tensegrity structure unveiling
We build tensegrities at university too, .. kinda hard to believe the stormed the builing only because of the same construction mechansim of the sculpture.
- wtf is a tensegritystructure when it's at home?hans_glib
