Drake sitting there reading about how good the judge thought the song was and how everyone really enjoyed it

The song contains lyrics explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive
bassline. "Not Like Us" went on to become a cultural sensation.

It's easily the best Bond film, and the soundtrack is a banger.

Face scanning was deployed at the Notting Hill Carnival however.

This claim is baffling. The Met have witnessed many violent far right protests. It was obvious participants would be up for a scrap.

BBC News - No intelligence 'basis' for face scanning at Tommy Robinson rally, Met says

Met chief: Why facial scanning was not used at Robinson rally

Sir Mark Rowley says the Met has not yet used live facial recognition technology at any protest.

Ever drink beer so good that it reminds you how bad beer can be?

Had some excellent pints last night at the Woodman, Bull and Wellie. But it made me realise I've been putting up with average beer other places recently 😔

Is this after the Peterborough tourism slogan? Beer, why not?

I understand why he did what he did. The club was in the wrong. Doesn't mean I have to like him, though.

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them.

This is getting very dark, very quick.

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.

It always annoys me when I have white people trying to preach to me about how I, as a black person, should feel about racist people and acts of racism. They will NEVER know how I feel so don't come at me about being the bigger person, you just don't understand!🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️
