Gloucester Saint

Up this way, there was a knife amnesty which resulted in a huge Angel statue being shown outside Gloucester Cathedral because there were so very many handed in https://gloucestercathedral.org.uk/whats-on/the-knife-angel Friends who are cops tell me that on routine stops of lads that age they know are on the fringes of the county lines scenes that they’re finding enormous machetes that would be used to cut sugar crops hidden in their trackies. 4 month detention orders for 16-17 year olds, 6 months minimum custodial for 18+. I’d probably make it for 1st rather 2nd offence but the sentencing tools are there and with legal people in my family, I know they’re frequently used but as you say, institutions of all types chocca block full. Research is as key as sentences, taking the points off knives doesn’t effect their effectiveness in the kitchen but can save lives https://www.dmu.ac.uk/about-dmu/news/2026/january/de-montfort-university-switches-to-round-tipped-knives-across-campus-to-promote-safety.aspx

14 year old lad handed himself in tonight presumably with input from his family. Vile behaviour, I’d ban him for this season, maybe next too, but a parallel course of education and voluntary service along with his year 10 and 11 formal education, hope he shows respect for what happens going forward. At least the national outcry and appeal from Coventry for information to identify him wiped the shit eating grin off his face. The Wednesday fan who did it in 2023 got a 12-week suspended prison sentence and 5-year banning order but he’s an adult so quite different. As were the SFC arseholes in the Itchen North doing the planes at Cardiff fans, they got hefty sentences IIRC. Hopefully the lad shows genuine contrition and never does anything like it again. Would guess 2 year stadiums ban and letter of apology to the Lowery family + education course run by the club. https://www.facebook.com/properfootballuk/videos/what-is-wrong-with-some-fans-this-little-scumbag-coventry-fan-instead-of-giving-/2010936342922631/ https://www.skysports.com/football/video/13010412/suspended-prison-sentence-for-fan-who-mocked-mascot-bradley-lowery

Don’t remember Chandlers Ford being on a par with Middlesbrough for violence https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6n4ed1l2pn1o

Yep, need to address matters in the present day and future. If people want to start going on about reparations then they can hand back the billions of international aid given over decades. Charles feels strongly about it clearly but the government needs to be careful.

Reform truly reverting to type. Those defecting Tories, apart from the glory-hunting ones, obvious why they did so. https://www.itv.com/news/2026-10-29/badenoch-says-racist-attacks-will-not-work-after-nigerian-scammer-comments

Blackburn terrible, Swansea decent. Wouldn’t have given Stewart a 3 year contract. Baggies 3-1 up at W Ham. Price made it again, did we sign the wrong player?

Deserved and especially after that stupid weak decision to chalk off a legitimate goal by Dobbin.

Baggies 1 up at W Ham Only Burnley v Skates goalless.

No surprises that he’s munching on Putin’s winnets and brown nosing him. If Ossie wanted a one way trip to MAGA America I’d take him to the airport myself. It won’t be so MAGA after next week though, however much the Orange Mussolini hints at martial law.

Any tweaks to FM Mobile @Matthew Le God? Suits me as limited time and pick up/play.

Lost the likes of Dawson during the season as well. James Fuller listed as looking for work experience in the finance sector and was out of contract.

Can’t see a downside with this signing. Decent age as well.

Or more precisely, Apartheid Elon, his hero. https://mg.co.za/news/south-africa/2025-05-24-grok-s-white-genocide-misinformation-shows-need-for-african-tailored-ai-algorithms/

Certainly between the governments. Mad Ben and the IRG are two halves of the same coin.
