Thanks to all the support of our wonderful players, the Welsh Open raised Β£1,400 for charity this weekend, with funds going to Children's Cancer and Leukemia.

We are so grateful to everyone for contributing their hard-earned funds for such a worthy cause!

this is the standard for convictions under terrorism legislation. you'll never pass a DBS check. that's a life bar in jobs in teaching, healthcare, social services, civil service etc. it's an international travel bar. there's also upcoming legislation for bans to social housing and access to finance

At some stage, someone in the government needs to look at the Palestine Action situation in purely pragmatic terms: is proscription specifically achieving any of the goals they wanted it to, or is it proving entirely counterproductive?

They wanted to intimidate, harass and arrest a bunch of old leftist protesters while telling the Mail and the Sun that the people they are stomping are extremists and terrorists. So yes, I would say they are achieving exactly the goals they wanted to pursue.

The tone is set from the top. Keir Starmer and his team can ask why this guy has not been expelled from the conservative party, or they can not do that. The BBC can lead its broadcasts with half a dozen talking heads explaining how disgusted they are, or they can not do that.

"Cleaning up" is a trope. It's like calling people rats or octopuses. Absolutely no place for it in public life; this MP should be losing the whip.

Screenshot of an email: Hi Rachel,
 
Thank you for contacting us about the article you’ve seen.
 
We want our stores to be inclusive and welcoming places for our colleagues and customers. We have written to this customer and explained that our colleagues typically work across all departments in our stores and customers can always ask to speak to the colleague they feel most comfortable with.
 
We also explained that our colleague was asking a customer if they needed help; they were not working on bra fit or offering this.
 
Thank you again for getting in touch.

I wrote to M&S about the stupid lingerie department story - confirms nobody offered a bra fitting to a teenage girl. The Telegraph and JK can (always) do one.

If you are in need of "life lessons" from Rachel Johnson, Julie Burchill, Giles Coren, Caitlin Moran, or Matthew Parris, then I am afraid you are lost, totally lost. We all send you our sympathies.

Four more years of liberals telling us β€œyou’re splitting the Labour vote”
- I didn’t vote Labour in 2024 I voted Green
- They told us to fuck off in no uncertain terms
- They’re racist and anti-LGBTQ why the hell would I vote for a party that hates me
- Piss off!

Learnt from the TF podcast that the UK government didn't apply the Online Safety Act rules to online gambling, and I think that tells you everything you need to know about how the country is run.

Also, unless I'm mistaken, the problems he describes are due to ministers promising nonsense and refusing to fund it. Government isn't broken, our politicians are lying, constraining themselves with arbitrary targets and bluffing their way through.

This is exactly what all those smart MPs and commentators meant when they said these swine were Sensible, Moderate opponents of extremism, with the extremism in question being the suggestion that people in decent governments should not do these things.
