Very true. The summer business looked poor and Monk saying it’ll be November before we have a team together was so weak and contributed to that start happening. Need to do our business much earlier and pick up 1 or 2 at the end (a la stokes) but the team needs to be together for pre season

Such a shame again. Far too many times this year when we’ve lost key moments and it’s so galling that despite that awful start, we’re going into the last 2 games only 5 behind. Even recent games like Barnsley and Bolton away stick in the throat. Missed chance to survive #CamUtd

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Pop Crave (@PopCrave

Below the text, there is an image of the Costco Wholesale logo, which features the word "COSTCO" in red and "WHOLESALE" in white with blue lines above it, all on a blue background. The Pop Crave logo, consisting of a yellow and orange circle with the text "POP CRAVE," is displayed at the top left of the tweet.

BBC Sport needs to work harder on their April Fool posts. There’s no way that this could really be accepted as legit by the Premier League! I’m sure @priceoffootball.bsky.social might have something to say about this! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

β€œIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

I was once whingeing to Paul McCartney that I'll always be known primarily for the Wombles. Straight-faced, without irony, he said, "Yeah, I have the same problem with The Beatles".πŸ˜‚

TV drama episode is 40-45 minutes on the channels with adverts and 57 minutes on the BBC. That’s why you get more depth to storytelling in documentaries and dramas

Because some damn fool asked, here's a thread about Baxter.

Government has broken the law on sewage, says watchdog The OEP has ruled that it allowed excessive sewage into England's rivers and seas.

This actually relates to the previous government, and it also says Ofwat were culpable.
Shockingly poor headline.

Important context here:

● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)

● "a big farm" is 217 acres.

Now let's see who's angry:

● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
