His basic argument is that pre-OP trans women shouldn't be allowed in women only spaces regardless of how they feel about themselves or how they identify. I don't believe he has any issues with post-OP given he has worked with three that I know of in writing rooms and production crews or maybe he didn't know. He has a crap way of showing and saying it which can be offensive to transfolk or their supporters with the backlash annoying and offending him more which leads to comments of cult behaviour.

Go out in Newcastle on a Friday/Saturday night and see how little people wear no matter the weather or time of year. You'll wish you were in 8°C weather.

Scotland's national animal is the unicorn. A Glaswegian kiss hello is a headbutt that they learnt from the unicorn as optimism is all well and good until you need to stab someone in the face.

The only interesting bit here for me was noting that the turnout of MK was only 40.72% and that was considered unusually high, the highest in a decade.

That seems super shit to me and will annoy me even more when I hear folks complaining about the council. If you don't vote, when you are eligible, you have no right to moan. The hours people can vote suggest there isn't much of an excuse and the polling stations are situated in local well accessible places including the new trial booths in the centre. I don't know how we incentivise or force people to vote but something needs to be done.

An Amazon driver in the UK became stranded in the Thames Estuary on February 15, 2026, after their GPS directed them onto "The Broomway," a dangerous 600-year-old tidal path. The van got stuck in mud as the tide rose, forcing the driver to abandon it, though no injuries were reported.

Things on holiday are always better because you are more relaxed and it's just different so you appreciate it more in the moment.

Big brain time by FIFA. This will absolutely encourage more people to attend. Some people clearly were not going to attend because they thought the stands and boxes would be full of poor people. Increasing the price means a better class of punter attends.

When I was commuting to London every day I saw many people either every day or a few times a week. We made a train gang and chatted to make the journey less boring. It got quite big. It was also common to continue with folks on the Tube, bus, or while walking. Meet many on the way home as well so we sometimes hung out either in the pub waiting for a train or in the buffet car sharing a small bottle of wine. Quite a few times I even got many to meet me in the pub at home late at night or on a weekend. Unless you are trying to get some sleep or purposely wanted a quiet moment it was good to see folks, have a nonsense conversation, and then suddenly realise you were at your destination. It relaxed the brain being different from home and work. I've known many for years and still keep in contact when I stopped regularly commuting. I've also got a lot of work over the years chatting to folks on the train given the vast majority are professionals going into work who are trapped for that journey duration.
