It’s a show about how lies and propaganda were spread about a group of people which lead to hysteria breaking out and people turning on each each other. This mass hysteria spread on both sides of the Atlantic and was perpetuated by those in power.

Rylan hosts.

No, it’s not This Morning.

Witches of Essex: Rylan and Prof Alice’s look at one of history’s most shameful periods is unfailingly moving

This engaging if slight show sees the unlikely duo reopen witch trials from 400 years ago on the hunt for justice. It’s Blackadder crossed with CSI – with a sprinkling of Philomena Cunk

Which is totally fine. It’s the people who try to impose their non-watching on others by saying just because they don’t, others shouldn’t.

I don’t like a lot of other sports, but I accept some people do without issue.

Unfortunately there has been a lot of short-sightedness around in Women’s football for a lot of teams - even now.

There are plenty of new songs she can learn though. I’m sure she will have a great time.

That’s pretty good, especially when the other Bristol team will take a lot of the limelight, particularly with their season in WSL1.

Equally, not everyone wants to go to the Premier League football given the toxic masculinity that can surround the men’s game.

I know a couple of Reds who are going to the women’s match on Sunday to check out our new place as well.

I wouldn’t even be so sure!

I know it’s more likely to be a Celtic fan, but I wouldn’t rule it out being someone who is unhappy with the way their club is headed.

I always say that you find ways to turn down the volume on the voice that tells you that you aren’t good enough or that catastrophizes everything.

Poor mental health makes you view the world through a skewed lens. How you view yourself in the world is not how others will see you.

Why though? He was one of their own and brought a lot of success to their club?

Plus it gives them a chance to flog the more expensive food.

Agreed. Even if it’s just people taking their kids to the new place for the first time because the price and time are accessible. It creates that habit of going to the match - that football is not a TV show. Plus it might inspire one little girl to take up football so she too can play there one day.

“No-one’s interested in watching Everton Women.”

“They shouldn’t be using our new ground.”

Numbers don’t lie.

Arsenal. She just uses the Cult to make money.

It’s her actual name. Dua means love in Albanian.

Unfortunately, they probably won’t be scoreless. 🫤

They can pop to the shop on the Plaza if need be, like what Arsenal Women had to do the other year when they played at Stamford Bridge and they went the Chelsea shop for socks.

Man United Women have had their own issue with their kit when they played the CL qualifier and their boots went missing.

“Hi, this is your GP surgery. We’ve got your chemo booked for 2pm and your job coach at 4pm.”

Dr: “The test results are back in and I’m afraid we are going to have to amputate. It’s OK though, because John, our DWP rep, is here to tell you how to operate a fork lift truck with no arms.”

DWP job coaches could be coming to a GP surgery near you

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced plans for job coaches to be placed in GP surgeries.

Because The Genocide State has only been killing, maiming, torturing and land-grabbing for two years?

Oh, what an unprovoked attack it was by Hamas then.

What ceasefire? The ink wasn’t dry and they were bombing civilians in Gaza.

I’m just shocked there isn’t a Georgian one. Extra crosses = more patriotic.
