Yep, as recent as the Victorian era people were very regularly dying in childbirth

Yeah just next to it, Viscount Lane

All the supposed β€˜big brains’ in the Labour Party/government have been plotting a grim course that isn’t even based on the feeling in the country. Politicians selling their souls for absolutely zip.

Very glad to hear you had the care you needed. My wife also stopped reading as our baby son had to be revived after emergency section - safe to say I was very glad we had experts around.

Same here. Ours required the entire crash team to run in and revive our son. I cannot understand why people would want to risk this. It’s brainwashing.

There is a special place in hell reserved for these psychopathic grifting lunatics.

Incredible reporting on such a deeply disturbing topic.

The little man is very obsessed with aeroplanes at the moment, so we went for a close-up look and he was mesmerised ✈️

Yeah big questions about those warm up games but I think it’s the mentalist. At times I’ve supported Baz Ball but you cannot play like that in matches like this and on pitches like this and expect to beat a team like Australia. Stupid decisions all round.

Second innings particularly unforgivable knowing where the match was at and how long they had left. Just needed to bat all day and be a bit sensible, but that doesn’t seem to be on their make-up.

Ha that’s true - get it wrapped up early and hit the golf courses

You can’t win cricket matches when your best players don’t turn up and make stupid decisions. Pathetic batting from England’s supposedly world class middle order has completely thrown away our best chance of a test win in this series. The next few months suddenly feel very, very long.

And it’s only got worse from there!

Yeah it’s crap. You can tell the commentators aren’t even in Australia. Also they keep leaving the wrong mics on and you can hear other people talking. Such a shame it’s not on Sky.

Fair play to Atkinson (honourable mention for Carse), did a lot more than our supposedly prodigious middle order to keep us in this match

Sorry that’s a ridiculous decision. If it takes 5 minutes then it’s not conclusively out is it. And he’s out last batter. #Ashes.

Those shots after lunch were just brainless - squandered a really decent position
