@MartinSLewis I just left EE broadband and it was like trying to leave the mafia, I was expecting a horses head on my pillow in the end.
They still screwed me for an extra week.
@Glinner There was a clue in the Yorkshire post crossword last week, Female comedian Jo ..... 5 letters begining with B. I could not for the life of me get it.
@MichelleDewbs I agree totally but maybe at a young age some under achievers might be put off playing again, some of which would possibly blossom after a few years of growing physically and mentaly. When they get to 10+ its just a war every game, they don't want to let their team mates down.
@SuzanneNQNW When my stepdaughter was playing for Oafc girls under 14s one of the mothers from the opposition team shouted break that ginger c###s f#####g legs.
Full term abortion is an abomination. An indescribable act of evil. Fewer than 1% of the British public support it. Yet parliament just legalised it. Britain as we knew it is finished.
So tomorrow there will be a march at 8pm in Manchester as a vigil for the dead Iranian dictator. Any MP who attends needs to be stripped of their seat and barred from any future role in politics.
@AvonandsomerRob I had an electric vauxhall astra as a courtesy car for 3 weeks recently. It had 250 miles range when I got it, 70 miles later it needed charging that was in eco mode as well. I was forever at macdonalds charging points.
Today marks the end of the survivor participation for our rape gang inquiry hearings. I simply have no words that describe the bravery and courage of these women who have come forward.
No words.
What they have been through is indescribable.
It has been a life-changing experience for me. I never thought such evil was possible. Never. Not here, in Britain. In our towns, in our communities. It is pure evil. These men are so utterly depraved.
If it were up to me, thousands of them would receive the death penalty.
To do what they did, on such an industrial scale, to innocent young girls - many of whom were already in such an incredibly vulnerable place? There is no redemption possible. The world is a better place without them in it.
I started this inquiry because so many others failed.
Speaking honestly, I did not understand how deep this evil is rooted in our society.
Police, politicians, council officials, the NHS, social workers, children’s homes - it is everywhere.
IS everywhere. Not was. IS.
Meeting these women, and men, listening to how severely they were failed by those tasked to protect them? My views have changed forever. I knew it was bad. I never knew how bad it was.
Every single one who has come forward is a hero in my view.
The courage and grace in how they have conducted themselves is unlike anything I have seen in my life. All because they don’t want others to suffer the same fate. That is an extraordinary sacrifice. They could have just moved on with their lives. Tried to forget. But no, they chose to do this. I am in awe of all of them.
Our hearings will finish tomorrow, following the contribution of three more expert witnesses.
Then the next stage begins. We will produce a report, and then we will seek to put people in prison. There are FAR more testimonies and evidence to release - this will keep coming and coming and coming.
Even with a media blackout, we have reached tens of millions. We have made real progress.
And following such immense demand, we will reopen the portal so that more women can tell their stories.
This is just the beginning.
Politicians from all parties have failed these girls, again and again and again.
I do not intend to join that list.
To everyone who donated, thank you. To our team, thank you. And especially to the survivors, thank you.
I believe that together we can start to make Britain understand what is happening, and then finally do something about it.
@EdwardJDavey You must wake up every morning and think what can I say today that is the opposite of what the majority of normal British citizen's are thinking. You should not be anywhere near having a say on how the country is to be run.
