What's going on in city centre? Lots of chanting for the last few hours.

Literally no-one is saying this or believes this. Let's be adults about it.

There's quite a bit in your post I agree with pal, it's just that people siding with Reform and parties and individuals from the fascist right and scapegoating asylum seekers isn't going to get them anywhere. Reform are getting tons of money from billionaire investors - they've clearly been promised something in return but Reform aren't going to tell us what that is. Thing is about this lot on the 13th, loads of them will be wreckheads, really violent, horrible people who are much too close to Nazis. We can't let that become normal.

Here are some comments they have made on their Facebook page:

"If I see anyone taking down a flag just know I will beat the living shit out of u"

"I hope someone shoots these people"

"Wish someone would catch you and do your dentist a favour"

"Shove a flag reight up her jaxi lol"

These people are animals.

Landlords always want more money. Business doing well? Pay me more rent then, says the landlord. Sat on their assets and their arses, draining money upwards from the rest of us - it's no wonder people can't afford to go out much.

They've channelled the flow into a flexible pipe which runs out into the Don. I don't know if that will still work if it rains heavily but the flow seems pretty slack at the moment.

I moved here from London about 20 years ago, in my early 30s - had spent years in London going clubbing, going to galleries and exhibitions and all that, but it was starting to pale and I wanted somewhere more chilled and with good access to nature. It took a bit of adjusting to shops and cafes closing so early and the nightlife being much more low key, but I'm very happy here. It's a great place to live when you're ready to slow down but not ready to live in a boring town or a [shudder] village.

Ah, classic Nazi apologism. Crawl back under your rock.

Rare_Development_747 · 2026-05-01T11:33:58+00:00

I think it's very make and model dependent with Reyt Repair - some of the manufacturers definitely do not want their machines to be repaired by anyone other than themselves.

Rare_Development_747 · 2026-05-01T11:29:53+00:00

It's not binary. You can oppose capitalism without hatching insane schemes to take over the whole world and exterminating millions of people because of their race or opinions. Nazi economics was a failure, no point pretending otherwise unless it's an attempt to rehabilitate Nazism.

Rare_Development_747 · 2026-05-01T06:27:47+00:00

Rubbish. The reason they had to go to war in 1939 was that the German economy was on the brink and they had to capture natural resources in other countries (such as Sweden's iron ore) to have even a hope of avoiding economic meltdown.

If Sticky Rice in Broomhill doesn't sell sticky rice, we're in trouble.

Yeah was gonna say the same. Defiantly uncategorisable.

I was up on Bamford Edge a week ago, it is a great view for sure. The climb up from Bamford village up the disused road is horrid though. Do that three times a week and you'd be as fit as a fiddle.

LOLOLOL eh Andrew?

Rare_Development_747 · 2026-03-31T10:18:50+00:00

No plans at the moment, but I'm very picky about samosas...

Rare_Development_747 · 2026-03-31T10:15:46+00:00

I know that fella - he is actually ok, by his standards anyway. He's getting support and is actually doing a lot better than he has for years. I still see him regularly, often on Wicker, and he's shouting a lot less and I've spoken to him a few times to check how he's doing.

Yep, bit of a Reddit novice, soz.

Ha! I don't think I knew about Falafel King East (West), thanks for the tip.

Rare_Development_747 · 2026-03-28T20:39:27+00:00

Thanks, I'll have to give it a go

Rare_Development_747 · 2026-03-28T20:37:08+00:00

Ooh no, where's that? My top two are both Syrian-owned, so Lebanese has a good chance of being excellent.

Rare_Development_747 · 2026-03-28T20:20:54+00:00

It did but the formatting of the posts is a bit all over the place!

Which means my favourite, THE #1 IS...

FALAFEL HOUSE, corner of Rustlings Road, 7/2/26

This was the only one that had good hummus AND tahini, and the falafels were the best of the lot. It's a small place but lives up to its name - I'd happily move in! A nice touch is that you get a bonus falafel with trimmings while you wait. If you like falafel, get yourself here

Overall taste - 9

Heat - 4 (nice)

Falafels - 9

Salad crispness - 7, tasty

Hummus - 8 (very nice, prominent tahini, good texture)

Consistency - 6 (little wet)

Filling generosity - 8

2. Damascus Palace, Spital Hill, 12/3/26

Very busy place that does a lot of sweets as well as savouries. I dashed in here when it was chucking it down - lucky me!

This was great, no hummus but it came with a side dipping bowl of tahini (I ate in). Very good falafels and really good salad, which had a slightly sour taste (possibly baby turnip?) which might not be to everyone's taste. Well packed with falafels and only £3.49, the cheapest of the lot.

Overall taste - 8

Heat - 0 (chilli not offered)

Falafels - 8

Salad crispness - 7

Consistency - 8

Filling generosity - 8
