Fair point, but it seems to have a lot of attention of policy makers for a pure drama.

These are the pool of kids who are at higher risk of stabbing someone. Obviously still unlikely, but more likely than the general population. Which is the main factual problem with "Adolescence".

I can save them time, just dust off the files of the many young teenagers who are well known to the police but have never been charged "since we don't want to criminalise them". I have 1st hand experience! @charlesarthur.bsky.social theoverspill.blog/2025/04/09/u...

The next step is going to be something which aggregates various Substacks into a sort of “daily Substack”. They could charge for it. You could even print it out and bind it and read it over breakfast. theoverspill.blog/2025/03/27/o... @charlesarthur.bsky.social That was essentially my point!

It was a model that worked to some extent and then we broke it with Brexit.

The split is worrying. The elites retain their brainpower. A new serfdom emerges with the rest.

I am afraid to say that the atmosphere at Atletico Madrid tonight beats ours last night. From the TV we seemed flatter than I expected. #lfc

TNT commentary team are sick as dogs...!! Hahah #lfc

That champions league final against Real Madrid where Courtois played a blinder........ #LFC

Commentators on TNT obviously would like to see #LFC lose!

And how much of that goes to the US for arms?

There has got to be loads there the LDs can use. The "getting the roof fixed" party is not a bad start. #liberaldemocrats

Shorter Badenoch: "there are these weird people who seem to care more about what happens in their real life than getting angry at lefties on twitter. Don't get it."

This is why a different organisation should run VAR. If that is not clear and obvious......

I mean look at this foul. 91st minute. Oliver right there with a clear view. Absolutely has his leg swept. #LFC

Thoughtful piece that exposes the hypocrisy Of Vance's Munich speech, well worth reading.

As I said, VAR was primarily brought in to correct "clear and obvious" errors. But the problem is they are all colleagues and don't want to make their mate look bad. Especially since the roles could be reversed next week...

About embarrassing your colleagues which is the main failing of the current structure.....

Step 1 would be to run VAR with a different organisation. It's a different skill set. You don't need to be able to run and get on with footy players. You need to know the laws, and be able to concentrate on a screen. Finally you have to be able to call out "clear and obvious" without worrying

YouTube video by The Kitchen - A Pickleball Community TABLE TENNIS FTW!

In my most optimistic moments I hope this video is an analogy of the #Democrats having to play all defence until.... www.youtube.com/shorts/QnLiv...

Anyone suggesting we need to follow the US is delusional or has a financial stake in health providers.....

The Two Lies that killed Nuclear Power 2.0 A preacher with a very simple message quickly runs out of new material.

If you've got time read this guy. Nuclear is expensive - but only because we have made it that way. jackdevanney.substack.com/p/the-two-li...

They said that about electric cars.

We have to go with them. Low carbon energy source, not relying on wind or sun, and also doesn't require pylons all over the place blotting the countryside. Tech is basically nuclear subs which we have done for ages.

We won't be fooled again......

Those, those were the days, eh? Yes, this really did happen. #Brexit
