Weston Super Saint

Like having poppies on shirts or clapping in the "xx" minute when someone dies?

It's not a fair point at all. I did a really quick google and found a 2 bed flat in Portsmouth for £650 pcm. I found a 2 bed flat in Fleetwood for £550 pcm. I know maths down there isn't a strong point but that is not double! I imagine all London clubs are in a much worse position using the same criteria.

Didn't it become irrelevant once the protesters stopped marching?

Did you stop to consider what 'harm' means? Now that more people know about it, I'm sure there will be absolute hysteria from all those looking for a new cause now that they've given up protesting!

Yep.

Except Brasil

I didn't notice you were gone....

Presumably they hadn't previously tested positive for Covid...

I'm sure a certain someone will be along any minute claiming you know nothing about 'excess deaths', blah, blah, blah.

I can see a new game show format for Channel 4. If she can make it back to Dover then she can get her passport back and her day in court. They could call it 'race across (half) the world', but in this version the contestant(s) don't get given any money...

Why bother with the trial if you're going to lock her up for 30 years anyway? Seems a waste of money.

It was West for five years for me. I did spend six months 'East' though during the summer. It rained every single day. Miserable.

It'll be fine, different rules up North

I wonder how many people in the country actually knew that there was a headstone in a graveyard in Wales that had the dog's name on it before yesterday? I didn't and I doubt more than a huundred people in the whole of the UK knew before it was plastered on the news. It's caused zero harm for over 50 years.

I wasn't expecting any tangible changes. I believe I even stated that the protests were 'pointless' in that respect at the time. Why on earth would there be law changes, we already have laws that protect against racism. They don't need to be changed.

Why aren't there any more Black Lives Matter / kick it out / anti racism protests? It seems weird that a movement which resonated so deeply to so many people just 6 weeks ago, spurring tens of thousands of people to attend protest marches up and down the country, should fizzle out so quickly. It's almost like a skate hero to zero swingometer. Does this mean that we have now beaten racism in the UK so marches are no longer needed? Or has the need for virtue signalling finished and 99% of the protest marchers are happy to go back to their white priveledge lives safe in the knowledge that they have 'done their bit'?

That aged well.

I'm not one for his 'aesthetics' and think it's a bit 'old hat' now, but I do enjoy the messages. I guess that's the thing about art though, it can still be enjoyed even if we don't like what we see...

..."Queen lost head"??

I don't want to call anyone thick....

Nice one Jeff. Another classic

Meh, I guess we can consider it 'what goes around, comes around' where dim tim is concerned

You know they've printed maps on paper for many years right? You also know that google maps uses GPS rather than data, right? Granted you need to plan a route and that will need data, but you can do that before you leave, connected to wifi I've never made a call from a riverbank or mountaintop (whilst abroad), no. When doing those things I've been on holiday, with the people who I would want to share the experience with so no need to make a call. I've taken pictures whilst there though, but your phone doesn't need data or wifi for that. No need to be bitter because you got stung for roaming charges because you didn't know how to turn roaming off, it's OK, we all thought you were a bit dim anyway so no-one thinks any less of you.

And if they do, no doubt people will switch to using internet based apps to avoid roaming charges as mentioned previously. It's also possible to avoid roaming charges with a little bit of thought. I've owned a mobile since 1993 and travelled extensively throughout Europe and beyond in that time. Not once have I paid a penny in roaming charges. It's really not that difficult to do.

When you mention 'pack', do you really mean 'getting close to half full'?
