I wonder what would’ve happened if we’d let it rip. Obviously there would be more deaths. But how many more, and how would it have affected the economy and society as compared to lockdown? (Or our version of it)

As Daggers intimates, I imagine it was awful for extroverts. But for us introverts it was a nice break, with little to no social pressure. Not to mention a computer game I’d been waiting a long time for came out then so I was able to gorge, guilt-free, knowing that the voice in my head saying “you really should be doing something more productive” did not have a point and could happily shut the hell up for a couple of months.

Exotic.

Is there a new section?

Don’t forget the weather. The weather was glorious that May.

Normally I’d agree with you. However, seeing how the rules themselves and the intentions behind them are biased in the first place and given how the Premier League and Football League have shown a vendetta against us for years, it’s just so gratifying to see both get one in the eye, caused by them both being too egotistical to talk to each other and agree a set of joined up rules. The authorities deserve the mess they created.

If I was to offer advice on what to ask yourself, I’d say: - Are there any small changes you can implement that would help rather than sweeping changes, such as personally-imposed barriers? - You could set yourself a deadline for things to improve and then stick to that, compartmentalise the situation rather than it being one single, seemingly endless stream of stress. - Do you have any dependants that you support and would be significantly negatively affected by a change in your employment? - If you have a voice nagging in the back of your mind that you should never accept “demotion”, ignore it. If it’s best for you, it’s best for you. (ie accepting a lower wage elsewhere for your own reasons.) I hope things get better soon anyway.

But aside from that?

Kasper made some great saves in the Champions League season, but the one in the FA Cup final is sorely missing from the pre-match video package in my mind.

I’ve never had a Twitter/X account but I genuinely struggle to understand why most of its clientele have stayed there and not migrated to another platform since Musk released the hounds.

I figure the point here is to demonstrate the disparity of Reform voters along with the general disgust in these actions, but it’s a bit of a vague question. Why should the sentences be harsher? (Or more lenient?)

He’s got dropping a platitude then dropping the word “but” well practised.

Professional comedians dream of that setup.

I don’t think having a (this) Labour government will be much different to having a Conservative government for them. My concern is more that they feel enboldened by the talk of there being a crisis of available prison places so there’s less deterrent.

I fully believe a French group with a grudge could and would do it. What I’m struggling with in that case is the lack of a declaration of accountability from such groups. We’re talking planning, organising and coordinating an action here that nobody knows you’ve done and would make you greatly unpopular if they did. Maybe someone will say it’s them in the hours to come. I wouldn’t rule out brainless stupidity when it comes to the far left or far right.
