Its not alleged 'over diagnosis' that's the issue. we need to stop profiteering from vulnerable children and invest in alternative solutions. Good to see this is finally being reported on.

6 Music has a banner with a cheery promise that Craig Charles guest 'Havoc from Mobb Deep will get the weekend started!'
Looking forward to the texts along the line of 'takes Sarah from Ware back to those legendary nights crack dealing in Queensbridge in the 90's, where do the years go?'

Late 80's and early 90's UK soul was elite🔥
Released OTD 35 years ago. Tell Me Why? by the Sindecut. This mad talented UK crew mixed hip-hop, soul and reggae similarly to Massive Attack and Soul II Soul. Despite a deal with Virgin, and a fearsome live reputation they never quite broke thru. That baseline tho'..

Oh dear. Just t'other day was reading something that referred to 'Arold Dennis 'Dickie' Bird, and was pleased to see he was still with us. Time calls stumps for us all in the end, though. RIP the umpiring and cricket legend.
A very sad day for true cricket lovers. RIP Dickie Bird. The single most loved and respected figure in the history of the game. No more to say.

Unpopular Luton opinion. But the main lesson from the past 2 years is what an exceptionally good EFL manager Nathan Jones is.
