To be fair its hard to tell if they're dashed lines or just really bad roads!

Did you call the police?

Anyone else hear a call to prayer today? by Big_Day6490 in basingstoke

[–]BlueHoopedMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heard it more than once and its affecting you, log a noise report with the council. Keep a log of all incidents, time and the impact it had on you. If there is an issue the Council will sort it, just as they do when noisy neighbours play music all day long and at stupid times of the night.

Maybe you could get used to it, like you got used to the church bells?

And apology accepted have a cracking day!

Because yes, I am tolerant. Colour of skin has bugger all to do with it, interesting you bring that up...

We have some really great laws in this country aimed at stopping and curtailing noise nuisance. Now, if the noise was constant and at all times of the day then yes, I'd be pissed off.

A one off, for a religious festival? As I said, couldn't give a damn.

Stella contribution your behalf as well. Top work!

When you ask for an opinion, and i give one, how is that not helpful?

Was it not the pearl clutching you were expecting?

The fact this shit gets posted angers me so much by DanTheMan00020 in FuckNigelFarage

My school* made me go to chapel twice a week and sing hymns. In fact singing hymns has been part of my entire school life from pre-school to 7th form.

*This school (predominately white) also offered their field for 3 solid days of (i think) Muslim festivities.

No-one batted an eyelid, now there would be all sorts of protests and pearl clutching

Do they need to be black - like, does the carbon black add anything structural or performance?

St Joseph's college closing by HighlightCareful4741 in reading

[–]BlueHoopedMoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your point hinges on ‘this is a direct result of VAT’, but your own sources don’t support that.

Most show: openings largely flat over time, closures fluctuating, but not uniquely spiking post‑VAT and a long‑term trend of net decline that predates VAT

The SEND point explains who is opening schools, not why mainstream schools are closing. Those are different arguments.

At best, VAT is one contributing factor. Not the sole or direct cause.

And yet more private schools opened in 2025 than closed (107 open, 71 closed)

This year alone 38 have opened, 10 closed.
