It's okay. He's about to get Blackpool, as long as he agrees to be known as Steve while he's there.

BREAKING: The Home Office is giving police new powers to restrict repeat protests like pro-Palestine marches.

Police can consider the ‘cumulative impact’ of protests on an area and could ban the protest / force it to move elsewhere.

If Pinky and the Brain were a documentary ...

With rare exception, ideas really are trivial compared to execution.

For example, the idea of going to the Moon is simple, but ACTUALLY going to the Moon is staggeringly difficult.
