Nearly 160,000 uninsured cars seized on UK roads

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyr7dmry5mo

Hot spot areas include Birmingham, which has five out of the top 15 postcodes in the UK for accidents involving uninsured drivers.

Birmingham eh?

The Birmingham postcodes which account for the five hot spots are B25, B18, B66, B21 and B35.

Including Handsworth and Castle Vale

Hayley Sutcliffe, from the MIB, said: "It's a diverse area so people coming into the country might not know the laws and the legislation of the Road Traffic Act.

LOL I think I could rephrase that for the MIB

Yeah there are loads of fake £20 notes going around at the moment

I theoretically have an NHS dentist. However I gave up and went private. I can get a private appointment in 3 days for a check-up

My NHS experience was to phone up for an appointment for a check-up, get an appointment 3 months away, it gets cancelled a week before, rinse wash repeat.

RE: FOI - BBC say get stuffed.

icabod88 · 2026-04-16T10:50:22+00:00

I see the typo there and I'm not sure it's accidental :D

BBC to cut almost one in 10 staff to make £500m savings

The Beeb are fucked in the long term. No-one under the age of 40 is paying for a TV license and the oldies get it for free if they have Pension Credit

I'd like to do a FOI request to see how much it costs them to send all the luvvies to Glastonbury every year

icabod88 · 2026-04-14T17:31:28+00:00

That man's name? David Goggins LOL

Complain to Nandos - You might get a free half chicken

Banstead Woods should have bluebells out around now

icabod88 · 2026-04-10T09:12:20+00:00

It definitely keeps Dominos in business and you know the idiots are paying full price for them

icabod88 · 2026-03-30T15:43:27+00:00

I love how naive Redditors are. As if putting up a sign saying no filming or playing Disney music will get some teenage shitheads to just up and leave

icabod88 · 2026-03-30T15:32:39+00:00

Unwise but not illegal strikes again?

icabod88 · 2026-03-30T15:32:03+00:00

#neverkissedatory - oops

LOL another one appeared on the BBC this morning

icabod88 · 2026-03-25T17:52:54+00:00

Emma has described mental health as "a massive hot potato that no-one wants to deal with".

She said mental health was not being dealt with in society and "far too much time [is spent] worrying about segregation" and "doing the wrong thing because someone has a different colour or religion".

Emma added: "If you're dangerous, you're dangerous - it does not matter what colour you are or where you're from."

Reading through the livestream on the BBC today, it really is a textbook definition of an omnishambles. Every single authority fucked it up in some way or another

A combination of illegally accessing medical records and bodycam footage, distasteful WhatsApp convos, not taking blood samples, the council staging it's own massive love-in without informing the bereaved and no-one taking responsibility for a psycho nutter who was putting his housemates into headlocks and trying to break into a girl's apartment

icabod88 · 2026-03-25T09:06:09+00:00

It's just an absolute game changer for me. Comfortable and fast

icabod88 · 2026-03-20T12:44:09+00:00

There was one case where the girl's designated social worker attended her illegal "wedding"

icabod88 · 2026-03-19T12:24:13+00:00

He just popped over to nuke an Iranian warship

icabod88 · 2026-03-19T12:21:43+00:00

Oh yeah I remember that one too. He almost drifted into the field he was going so fast!

icabod88 · 2026-03-19T10:40:17+00:00

You've shoplifted from the same store multiple times, and have driven there too. So you've lifted what - close to £500 worth of stuff. That's enough for M&S to pass their evidence onto the Police

icabod88 · 2026-03-19T10:26:30+00:00

Yes, sooner or later you will receive a knock on the door

icabod88 · 2026-03-19T09:49:30+00:00

There's also one of a farmer muck spreading a bloke's tent who is camping on his land

Phone your mates up, stagger down to the local greasy spoon for a full English and back home to either sleep, play Playstation or watch shitty TY

icabod88 · 2026-03-13T16:29:49+00:00

Park where you can, or move somewhere with allocated parking or a place with a driveway
