Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman should be in jail.

Instead they're swanning around Florida's "billionaire island".

Of course she has. The small matter of owing £122 million to UK taxpayers for her disgusting profiteering in a global pandemic means nothing to Michelle Mone.

NHS staff died in my hospital from the Covid they caught there - her dodgy PPE racket was vile.

Yet again, we can't afford to let LLMs become a source of epistemic grounding for society.

The UK would be in a much better place if the major parties remembered who their traditional base is and that it's not, specifically, Lee Anderson.

Who could've guessed that electing someone with the personality and economic awareness of an edgy teenager could possibly result in this.

I'm Jewish and I absolutely support Maccabi Tel Aviv fans being banned from footballing events in the UK. Their behavior is the absolute worst of football violence as seen in Amsterdam last year and frankly we don't need that in our country

The script and voice acting in the BF6 campaign is *particularly* bad

If anyone thinks that this "the war is over" historic moment for a new Middle East peace in our time isn't going to end this time next week with the continuation of the genocide in Palestine the I've got a bridge to sell you

It's the DTS, Liberty, everything-is-drama era I guess. 90% of F1's history is just title races between sporting rivals.

If you flew from King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia to Robinhood Airport in Australia you'd be doing the route RUH-ROH.

Of course, Robinhood is a tiny grass strip so this route is virtually impossible.

Getting ready for Battlefield 6 by playing some classic BF themes. Banger of a motif across the years

Sure. And unlike how people in the replies are portraying it, there's still only a couple of incidental, environmental events where you see and can kill members of the KKK.

One set during the actual US Civil War would be far, far better - you could contribute to the defeat of the Confederacy, explore the various characters of the era, big battles to wade through.

To be fair it sounds like an awful setting for a game. What would you even do for a story in this era, other than, presumably, fail to stop the Klan?

It's an environmental event, it's not a major part of the game.

Had the government said "as a mark of respect, we'd like you to cancel football matches, concerts etc AND protests today", then fair enough. But to single out the protest they've long wanted to stop anyway as the one thing we should not do looks like disgraceful exploitation of a horrific attack.
