You may have seen the articles in the Metro about upskirting videos for sale last week. In addition to the original article there was a follow up with Gina Martin, who was instrumental in upskirting now being a crime. What you might not know is that the journalist behind both articles knowingly […]

3 catches dropped off Abbott today #HampshireCricket #cricket #CountyChampionship

RE: https://mastodon.scot/@LordWoolamaloo/117236190179658142 And there goes the theory that the police's lack of response was to protect any moles within the Blackshirts - they were tipped off by locals the night before.

LEUS DU PLOOY UNABLE TO PLAY FOR REMAINDER OF 2026 SEASON

Middlesex Cricket can confirm that captain Leus du Plooy will be unable to play for the Club for the remainder of the 2026 season following clarification of his playing registration status under ECB regulations.Last week, following an article in the press, the Club confirmed that Leus had declared his intention to pursue an opportunity to play international cricket for South Africa. The Club has now been made aware that, under ECB regulations, a player who has declared an intention to play for another country is classified as an overseas player for domestic cricket purposes.As a result, Leus is required to be registered as an overseas player in order to continue playing for Middlesex. The deadline for the registration of overseas players for the 2026 season was Sunday, 6 September, meaning that it is now not possible for the Club to register Leus and select him for the remainder of the season.

One reason England does so well is our second generation immigrants outperform their peers which is not true in most OECD countries. We are also very good at integration. And it's v sad that this is never acknowledge in debates on immigration.

New PISA data out England is now top ten in all three areas (reading, maths, science) and the second highest performing country outside of east Asia (after Estonia). This is a huge public policy success.

Who originally signed this off? France is super non-accommodating to religions (unless it's Catholicism) so it's weird that anyone would do more than laugh at the original request. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyenxp540vo Note to bonus xenophobia of the politicians who highlight that […]

I sometimes feel like the only person in this whole damn country who wishes Harry and Meghan nothing but the best, but basically couldn’t give two fucks about them. If I never hear of them ever again, thats fine with me. And that’s not a reflection on them, per se, as much as the pricks who are […]

This is very nicely put by #Quakers in Britain. If only our elected government could be as unequivocal as this. https://quaker.org.uk/news-and-events/news/quakers-in-britain-statement-following-intimidation-and-violence-in-dover-and-portsmouth #UKpolitics #UKpol

Catching up on the latest series of #DragRaceUK and I have some favourites, but as always some who are forgettable too.

Christopher Harborne - the Reform mega donor who gave Farage £5m - is suing ex-Reform deputy leader, Ben Habib. The particulars of claim have now been published. And we need to talk about them. 1/

If only there had been some warning what Tommo was planning...

Danmy Tommo, a sidekick of Tommy Robinson with a penchant for incitement in flashpoimt moments, gathered 50 blackshirts under some arches in Basimgstoke. He claims to be building a National Resistance Movement to take matters into its own hands, foregoing protest for direct actiom & confrontation

Argh, neighbour has just responded to a message from someone with a picture of lost property after the street party, in which they say what number they live at, by asking what number they are.

Driving licence renewed. It took about 10 minutes with faffing over setting up a new government log in and verifying my identity by scanning my passport and my face with their authentication app (since deleted). But it's done. Another bit of life admin that now won't have to be done again for 10 […]

If the police & security services didn't see this coming, it was a massive intelligence failure. If they did, but still gave the impression of being caught on the hop, it's something worse.

"in a stand-off with the RNLI"... the RNLI!

Emma Yeomans@yeomans.bsky.social · 2d ago

Extreme right-wing protesters are in a stand-off with the RNLI in Portsmouth. The group, led by Danny Tommo, are waist-deep in the sea and threatening to go "under the water" if police try to arrest them. Six lifeboats monitoring. Volunteer rescuers giving up their evening for this.

Ugh, watching friends divorce strengthens my resolve never to remarry - have a nice party, people, but keep out of legal entanglements without getting some legal protection in place if your assets are unbalanced in any way. Everyone thinks there's will be the fairytale, but the stats don't lie […]

About a month ago a actress came in and said she wanted to learn to actually knit instead of just making knit-like motions for a coming audition. We showed her the basics and she came back and said she got the part! and gave us some homemade banana bread. This is what busines success looks like

If your first reaction to a positive development is to start listing why it's not enough, I'll block you. The development probably came about through the concerted, intelligent efforts of a lot of people. You're telling them their efforts do not matter. More work needs doing. We all know that […]

Any time the mental load turns up in the news cycles I think of Farideh's Make A List song. She has lots of different versions (including a holiday one), but this is my favourite https://youtube.com/shorts/B-x-2luGcS8

WTF?! Ireland were 4 down went I went to hang my washing up #ENGvIRE #cricket

Girding myself to show my face at the street party. I was away for the one last year, but my social battery is very low and it still sounds very kidsy out there (they've been going over an hour already).

It's #parkrunTourism day and while my clubmates went to Severn Bridge (only for it to be cancelled due to graffiti artists in the finish tunnel), I took myself off to my NENDY of Shepton Mallet. The RD mentioned that they were running a skeleton crew of […] [Original post on cupoftea.social]
