I hadn't heard of this story until yesterday, and like many of us saw a brutal overview of the case on the 10 o'clock news last night. I can't honestly think of a case that has affected me as deeply as this one. Finding it difficult to concentrate on work this afternoon for thinking of that poor boy, and I'm welling up thinking of my own boy who's not too dissimilar in ages with him - but exists in a home full of warmth and love.
That line "nobody's going to feed me. Nobody loves me", from a desperate wee boy who was just starting out. Absolutely shattering.
I feel the same. That voice clip crushed me. I gave my boys a big hug this morning.

He was a sub for my team this year, and was in for next year, the useless c**t.
RIP, condolences to the family, etc

Michael Heseltine or Ken Clarke possibly. Both are One Nation Tories and that Party they represented is dead and gone replaced by a motley collection of crooks, chancers, racists and little Englander blood & soil types. Now both Clarke and Heseltine would be Liberals or moderates of some sort.
There is nothing remotely likeable about the modern UKIP Tory party.
David McLetchie was a decent guy by all accounts. Another one nation type who wouldn't be welcome in the current proto facist tory set up.
Furthermore, it is my civic duty that fills with joy to tell Sannox to f**k right off.

Laying rancid silent farts with a poker face was one my grandad was a master of.
And still a better superpower than fucking Hawkeye!

It makes you nostalgic, doesn’t it, for the good old days of the IRA. ’Cause they gave warnings, didn’t they? They were gentleman bombers, the finest terrorists this country’s ever had. We’ll not see their like again.
I always wondered what the codeword was when they phoned the filth up with the warning?
"Glaziers will be required at the Arndale centre"
"BOOM!"
"James Connolly will be visiting the Stock Exchange today"
Anybody know?

Someone mentioned on here before, but I’m starting to think being an MP is the second job for a lot of them
Winning a seat in the commons opens the keys to the kingdom. It seems that if it's a seat for the governing party, then you are laughing all the way to the Leeds!
You've got the access to lobby those making the decisions and given that there's some cabinet members here, actually make the decisions.
Plus, make a bit of chump change renting out flats whilst claiming costs for your own rented pad in the same town.
Not in anyway corrupt though, mind.

How fucking useless are Hutchinson ports for them to get so far down the list of possible advisors to appoint a man who signed a shipping contract with a company that had no ships.
Any company using Chris Grayling as an advisor is probably best avoided tbqh.

I went on school exchange trips in the late 80s to West Germany (as was) and the families discussed the war stories in a quite open way. My mum had a penfriend in the 60s (a reconciliation initiative) that we visited and vice versa. She was a primary school headteacher and her husband an engineer.
When we visited Monika and Rolf I was slightly taken aback when he had his Iron Cross framed in his room in the basement along with the most realistic (and enormous) model railway I'd ever seen. He was conscripted into the wehrmacht as a boy soldier at 17 in 1944 onto the collapsing eastern front. He was shot, invalided out and ended up in the GDR before jumping the border in the mid 50s. He was a really interesting man.
Later, I did 6 months in Cologne as an exchange at Uni. Once folk know you they open up and tell you the stories. The amount of old (and generally dead) family members who did questionable things was remarkable, but most of the stories from Cologne were about bombing, survival and how on earth this happened in the first place? They weren't proud but didn't shy away either.
They quite enjoyed "Allo Allo", which features German language versions of clichéd accents.......
Bizarre.

I suspect so. She'll go just as the World Cup 2022 finals are kicking off.
I think she's chucked it since Phil the Greek/racist/car crash enthusiast* called it a day. I'm imagining Charles' odd looking combover profile on a stamp right now.

The Fast Show even had the cheek to have an unfunny music hall character who repeated catchphrases constantly, like they knew it was shite and wanted to claim irony.
I did love The Fast Show, and probably still would if I saw it again, but I'd be buggered if I could explain why.
That was Arthur Atkinson. I thought it was pretty funny. His music hall mate, Fred Halibut always creased me up with this.......

She's covered by the Equality Act 2010. Reptilian is a protected characteristic.

I’m getting the train to Kirkcaldy on Saturday. Shall maybe send him a pic of me and my mates drinking on the train without a face mask in sight.
I think he'll be in his wee Tory bolthole in the east neuk, moaning to his stepford wife about Sturgeon, Scotrail, Marcus Rashford and no indyref two, before nipping off down his shed to furiously knock one off to another one of his "grey area" surreptitious snaps- with big tits.

"Hopleaf Pale Ale" sounds a bit different from the standard Mediterranean euro fizz. I wonder what it was like?

I remember going to see Supergrass at the Barrowlands about 97/98. They projected all these 70s ones onto a big screen before they came on. Alvin Stardust and all that.

I see Sinn Fein continue to be miles ahead in opinion polling in Ireland and who'd have thought that even ten years ago?
I absolutely agree that Scottish independence needs a catalyst and that catalyst is the ever closer integration of the north with the south as a direct result highlighted by the preferential deal NI has following brexit. Trade has increased by large amounts between the two whilst trade between NI and the mainland has fallen off a cliff. If Sinn Fein lead the next Irish Government then surely they'll be chasing a border poll and if the demand is there, then the GFA says it happens.
The polls could show a huge majority for independence here but number ten says no to a referendum. The white house will make sure it happens in Ireland.
That's the only way we'll get our chance in my opinion, with NI going first although that could be happening relatively quickly- within ten years.
Pie & Bovril will still be here though.
