Every year it's the same pantomime. On the one hand, it's a bunch of Red poppy Nazis, firing off stiff letters to Channel Four because John Snow wears a white one, Jasmin Alibai-Brown wears a black one and James McLean doesn’t wear one at all. On the other you have a bunch of Social Justice Warriors, keen to tell us all - loudly and great length (do they have any other default settings?) - what poppies and those who wear them think and glorify in. As per usual with these soppy sods, the drop off from wearing a poppy to being a blood-crazed Spartan ready to rape in the name of your country, is but a short step. Thank God there's a largely silent majority who remember folks who put duty and quiet determination before ambition and gross emotional lability, wear their poppy, quietly reflect perhaps on people they knew who made the ultimate sacrifice - and then get on with their lives.

The thing is, Mike, we aren't that fussed when we are in the queue at Tesco. We are a bit more worried if the person with a penis is in the locked female psychiatric ward, prison, changing room. I KNOW! Context is really hard to understand.
Bumped into a trans woman today at the grocery store. She smiled and said hi. I smiled and said hi back. Nothing happened. I didn’t become trans myself, It’s like there were Just two people living their lives normally If that bothers you then, you’re an asshole.

Wow. A 12 year old girl made a pretend cafe with her teddy bears, at her parents home in their barn… and here comes a council official to check there is no real cafe….. Shame they aren’t such stringent checks on all the barbers and vape shops setting up everywhere
For those of you who thought the visit from a Bedford Borough Council official to investigate our daughter Zoe’s (age 12) pretend teddy bear cafe was too ridiculous to be real, here is the arrival of official. This is totally legit. She really did show up at our property to investigate the illegal teddy bears having their coffee🧸🧸☕️☕️

I think pregnancy test kits are brilliant and wish more of the critical questions facing the world could be answered by just pissing on them

Seriously, apart from the first match of the season, we were never as bad as our results and league position indicated, so it's good to get some reward for dominance and style of play. Long way to go of course and 12th is nothing to shout about - but gives us confidence to push on now. I just hope Maddison is okay

If you go to the gym but don't post about it on social media, did it ever actually happen?

This photo is a perfect encapsulation of everything wrong with modern policing standards. A woman who cannot even grasp the single most basic rule of firearm safety, keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot, is being publicly celebrated and armed by the Metropolitan Police. Her index finger is squarely on the trigger of a rifle while she smiles for a promotional photo under a banner that reads “Women in Firearms Attachment.” This is not a minor slip. It is the kind of catastrophic negligence that gets people killed. And the fact that a sergeant is standing right next to her, grinning, while this happens tells you everything about the quality of instruction and supervision in that unit. @metpoliceuk if this is the standard your firearms officers are held to, you have no business putting anyone in possession of a weapon. Retrain your instructors, or better yet, stop pretending this is competence. #firearms #incompetence #safety

But Dawn has shown she has little to no understanding of a hobby enjoyed by millions each week and has the overly simplistic take that all gambling = harm.

Sometimes it's the little things that get to you isn't it? Woke up this morning from a dream wherein Trevor Cherry scored with that diving header in the 1973 Cup Final, so Peter Lorimer never did have his point blank shot saved and there never has been a debate whether Jim Montgomery's double save was the best ever.

On 21st October 2007 Paul Fox - guitarist with The Ruts and one of the finest exponents of his craft that ever drew breath - died after a struggle with cancer. The Ruts were a fearsome, multi-faceted band and their music was the soundtrack to much of my youth. Anyone with pre-X Factor sensibilities when it comes to music would do well to check them out.

My dear Stephen, How lovely to see you marking the sixtieth. One of the darkest days in our history, etched in the memory of the nation, a community of such strength. All true. And all of it happening to somebody else. Here is the part your tribute left in the drawer. The tribunal found the Coal Board wholly to blame and said the disaster "could and should have been prevented". The Coal Board then demanded £250,000 from the disaster fund to clear the tip that killed them. The fund, raised by public donation for the families, handed over £150,000. Your party's government applied the pressure, in secret. George Thomas objected, then folded, and leaned on the trustees until they folded too. The Charity Commission sat on its hands. Nobody was prosecuted. It took thirty years to give it back. In July 1997 Ron Davies, your party's first Welsh Secretary of that spell, returned the £150,000 without interest and without inflation, and conceded the demand should never have been made. So yes. Remembering is lovely. Your lot billed the bereaved for clearing the mine's own tip. Twenty three likes. Five retweets. And looking more like your father every year. Do carry on, pet.
Today marks 60 years since the Aberfan Disaster, one of the darkest days in our history.   The tragedy, which cut short so many lives, remains etched in the memory of our nation. We remember the 144 who died and pay tribute to a community of such strength and resilience.

I’ve given up trying to second-guess RDZ team selection and formation. That looks a lightweight midfield - but let’s see
