The Huw Edwards thing is incredibly murky. It reads as if it was 3 instances of making sexual images of a child, which is a very very broad definition. It is incredibly important to treat these sorts of cases delicately. Britain had really shot itself in the foot, legally speaking, by allowing the 16-18 gray area to exist. For example: we have to REGULARLY explain to our 16-17 year old students that sharing pictures of themselves with boyfriends/ girlfriends, etc is in breach of this very law. We have also had instances where 17 year old students have been advertising online, upon websites which SHOULD be carrying out ID checks. This is not to say that Huw Edwards is "innocent" or whatever but it does highly the very real issues that crop up with inconsistent legislation and enforcement.

I'd rather see doctor's workloads reduced so that they're not working stupid shifts to keep up with basic demand but, hopefully, this pay rise is palatable for now.

No, no, it's the women who haven't had children who are the problem. I read an interesting point that the perfect example of the women that awful bloke described just so happens to be one Taylor Swift - mid 30s, no children, has cats instead. If I were running for VP, I really wouldn't attack a woman who is basically Miss America.

So this has escalated into a protest outside Andy Burnham's offices in Manchester, in which the poster uses a still image from a BLM protest in the US and identifies the protest as "against police racism". I just don't feel that this is helpful to anyone.

Place has been a ghost town since he left

I'd go with anyone with a reach/ subscriber count above X should have to sign a monitoring register/ official body like Corgi. The idea being that your general "I like trains, here's my popular trains channel" will sign up and those that try to skirt it or avoid, will be the ones you actually want to keep an eye on.

So Barton is particularly odd because he's VERY LGBT friendly. My late father attended some events with him, where Joey was putting across gay acceptance to kids. Dad had no concept of who he was and couldn't believe the same bloke he met was the Barton we all know. I will add that this was about 10 years ago, mind.

Where's Michelle Mone, these days?

Goddamn, it's always those bloody Liberal Democrats

Speaking to US friends, their dislike is due to her time in charge of justice. She was seen as heavy handed and didn't put out a compassionate image. It's added to her being seen as two faced.

My US friends don't like Harris and they're left leaning (for the US). She would lose handily against Trump. Sad to say they need a younger, white, well spoken man.

Did you say cult or something else?

Skim read of their team had me think they had Bottle O Ketchup in defence.

Our company uses Teams and other Microsoft things. Absolutely devastated to log on today and find everything in perfect working order.

Kante to West Ham rumours make me sad

This is a hilariously specific and dated, but accurate, comparison.

Wrong spelling, anyway.

As noted - if the US and India aren't playing ball then it's a bugger. Though, I am optimistic for China.

I've discovered so many park runs aren't 5k. My local is about 4.7k. Quite annoying.

Genuinely love the idea of a jobsworth saying he has to do a tour because he's technically a new signing and THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS IN THE BOOK. Cut to a video of him walking out onto the pitch and saying "is that the famous SK1 I've heard so much about"

I think George Carlin said it best that you should be proud of things you've achieved. Being born somewhere and staying there isn't an achievement. But I defo didn't bring up being American as one of Trumps faults. Sexual predator, liar, racist, hatemonger who incites violence, etc.

Really not convinced the chat sh1t forum of a parochial English football team is the place for an American to find likeminded individuals but fair play

I mean, you're talking about just accepting a convicted criminal, possible rapist and general lunatic to become leader of a country with one of the largest arsenals in the world.

Could someone like Mourinho be tempted? Or even Benitez. Both are a bit older, have a connection with England and have success at various clubs. They're also high profile enough that they could get player buy in and can point to their tournament achievements. Surely they can be offered a part time contract, so they've got the ability to do media and other bits.

Best team won but jesus christ blind loyalty has cost us a bit
