www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... Efforts to deal with this would be a little more convincing if the #EPL wasn’t a rapacious money-hoovering machine in its own right, never mind the illicit activities that surround it. Also this piece seems to conflate organised touting & fake / scam ticket sellers

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
How the simmering UK freedom of speech row reached boiling point
How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

Indeed. We had this experience in South Wales a decade ago, words such as efficiencies, synergies and critical mass are bandied about without any real definition of what these actually might be, and how achieved in reality (and what resources might there be to do so...)

The fact that Owen himself felt the need reply in the way he did tells you all you need to know about his character.

Dear U.K. Labour. The fact that VPNs can easily bypass large parts of the Online Safety Act is *not* a reason to ban VPNs. It’s a reason to rethink the Online Safety Act.

We did tell you. Many times.

Don’t throw good money after bad.

I get how Keir Starmer has pissed off all manner of people but I'm at a loss to work out exactly what he did to so infuriate the New Romantics.

What the fork is it with UK Universities right to work nonsense for external examiners? I’m undertaking a PhD viva for a fee of £200, not becoming Vice Chancellor. No I'm not going to pay to have my passport verified at the fricking post office and a copy sent to you FFS
