The Green Party has complained about this cartoon of Zack Polanski by the The Times.

They’re deeply unhappy with it. Whatever you do, do not repost!

Thank you for all your kind words as I step down from #HouseOfGames after 9 amazing years. It is honestly the most fun show to work on, with the most wonderful team, but, after 800 episodes it's time to hand over the keys to a new host. There are plenty of new episodes still to air though, and I'll even be filming one final handover week later in the year! It really has been a treat from start to finish.

Hollywood continuing to mock John Davidson over his Tourette’s condition is one of the most despicable things I’ve witnessed in a long time.
Shame on @deoncole and all those in the audience who laughed at his vile ‘jokes’. What the f*ck is wrong with you???!!!

Let’s have an honest, tough conversation.

I’m Muslim, I’ll never renounce it, and I need to be better.

That said, we need to rethink some practices.

In the west, the loud, public calls to prayer five times a day, praying in large groups that block streets, disrupting traffic, and inconveniencing others needs to stop.

We’re not doing ourselves or our non-Muslim neighbors any favors by disturbing their daily lives.

When Westerners visit Muslim-majority countries, they generally show respect.

They follow local customs.

Women cover up, men act with honor, and they don’t demand that these nations change their laws, build churches or synagogues, or take in more Western immigrants.

Muslim countries enforce strict cultural and religious norms, and visitors comply.

Everyone coexists peacefully.

Why can’t we show the same respect in America and western countries?

Let’s be real: this is a Christian-majority country.

Muslims make up 1-2% of the population.

We’re a minority, and in many ways, we’re guests here.

I don’t see Christians or Jews going to Muslim countries demanding special accommodations or disrupting local customs.

If they’re allowed to practice their faith (and pagans often aren’t), they might pay a jizya tax for the privilege, which also exempts them from military service.

Non-compliance could mean jail, deportation, or worse.

I know the counterarguments: “America has freedom of religion!” or “There’s separation of church and state!”

But let’s clarify something.

The phrase “separation of church and state” comes from Thomas Jefferson’s 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist Association.

It refers to a wall protecting religious freedom from government interference and preventing the state from controlling churches. It’s not a blank check to practice our faith in ways that disrupt others.

We don’t need to “assert dominance” with mass public prayers in symbolic Western locations.

That’s not faith...it’s provocation, and it disrespects our host nation.

Muslim-majority countries would never tolerate similar behavior from non-Muslims.

Why should we expect different standards here?

Let’s show the same respect we’re shown abroad.

Let’s practice our faith humbly, integrate thoughtfully, and live as good neighbors.

That’s how we honor Islam and earn respect in return.

If you want to openly hear the call to prayer 5x a day, there's plenty of safe, clean, and beautiful Muslim countries you can visit or even move to (these countries love western expats).

Agree or disagree? Comment below.

Would like to have a good discussion on this.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

When every opponent is called a Nazi, history is cheapened, debate is destroyed, and lives are put at risk. Abusing the word Nazi doesn’t only insult history, it poisons politics, fuels hatred, and costs lives. @GMB

Denis Law was a great player and an even greater man. He made football fans smile with his brilliance in front of goal. He made people he met smile with his wonderful warm character and keen sense of humour. And what a player, The King, The Lawman, what an absolute elite level striker. Only Wayne Rooney and Sir Bobby Charlton scored more than Law’s 237 for Manchester United. His tally of 30 goals for Scotland is matched only by the legendary Sir Kenny Dalglish and Law did it in 55 appearances to Dalglish’s 102 (different positions of course).

Fiercely patriotic and supremely competitive, Law said his favourite goal for Scotland was against England at Wembley in 1967. He was determined to bring the world champions back down to earth. He even backheeled the ball to Jim Baxter for that famous keepie-uppie.

He's a Scotland great, a United great. He’s immortalised in the Holy Trinity statue with Charlton and George Best outside Old Trafford, and with a statue in Aberdeen. He was raised in an Aberdeen tenement, didn’t often have contact with his father who was out at sea as a fisherman, and played early on with spectacles until an operation at Huddersfield Town to correct a squint. From Huddersfield on, he scored goals wherever he went, Manchester City, Torino, United, and back to City where he scored that famous/infamous goal against United in a match that ended in their relegation. Law didn’t celebrate. He went straight down the tunnel at the final whistle. Respect.

He was unique. Fingers curled over his shirt cuffs, shock of blonde hair, Law was charisma personified. He was a clinical finisher, slight of frame but tough mentally and physically. He was very capable of looking after himself in an era where the tackling was often brutal, where Norman “bite your legs” Hunter roamed. He received a six-week ban for his scrap with Arsenal’s Ian Ure. “He’s Scottish, I’m Scottish, he’s hit me, I’ve hit him – what’s the point (in sending us off?)” Law said at the time.

It's difficult to put a price on greatness but Law would be worth £150m+ today. He was a British transfer record, won the Ballon d’Or in 1964, won the title with United in 65 and 67 and the European Cup in 68 (although he missed the final through injury). He won the hearts of fans for the way he played, for his humour and humility. He was brilliant on the radio, brimming with insight and sense of occasion, all delivered in a voice of richness and authority. Law was great company. I went to interview him at his golf club once and we talked about tea for the first few minutes. He was once asked by the BBC what made him smile most and he replied “family”. He was a family man, a football man, a good man. My thoughts with Law’s family - they’ve lost a very special man. So has football. RIP.
