The biggest takeaway from this is about giving back self esteem/ self worth.
When you’re at rock bottom you lose more than just housing and possessions. You lose a reason to live. As a former rough sleeper, I was at that point.
I escaped that life when people made me feel
Matters not whether fans have ever boxed before. They pay a lot of money to watch the boxing either live or via a game changing app.
I’ve never acted before but I know a shit movie when I see on. Or a bad meal in a restaurant etc etc.
Paying customers are allowed an opinion.
Anthony Joshua reacts to criticism of his performance vs Robert Helenius and fans booing before the KO: "Have any of them ever boxed before?"

That must have been incredibly hard to write. Your words are a beautiful tribute to a wonderful man.
Dave leaves a legacy. His joy of life, his love for people and communities as well as food was infectious.
Sending much love to all his family and friends.

My boy is autistic. He’s in main stream school and sitting his GCSE’s in a few months.
He’s achieved much more than he was predicted to when he was first diagnosed at a very young age.
He does struggle with some scenarios but going to a mainstream school has helped him to lead

That’ll have the likes of Trevor Coult’s followers in uproar. Delicious!
So many H&M haters belittling Harry’s work with Invictus, based on nothing but hatred.

£12 an hour is cheap rate. Not as cheap as the skin flints bemoaning the price. Mind, I’d imagine those complaining wouldn’t be in the market for a gardener anyway, they just like to sit online slating anyone else trying to make something of themselves. Well done to your lad.

@SangitaMyska
We all know why he couldn’t be bothered to say her name. If she had a traditional white English name he’d have had no problem with it. It is one of the many instances of casual racism faced by minority groups. Well done Sangita for calling him out on it.
@I_amMukhtar
Reminds me of that movie about neo-Nazis in Melbourne, Australia starring Russell Crowe. Romper Stomper. One of his lines was “this is not your f*cking country!” I don’t need to point out the obvious irony in that statement.
Similar vibes here.
@Mr_Andrew_Fox
Thank you Andrew, this was a great thread. A very difficult read, but it was very informative. More so than what I’ve read in the media. It puts some meat on the bones of why the Israeli response has been so robust. They cannot allow Hamas to regroup and carry out another attack.
@jamesmartinchef
One of the nicest blokes on TV. His joy for life was infectious.
A sad loss. Thoughts are with his family and friends, and Si King.
66 is too young to go.

I’ve seen comments saying that this photo was arranged by Harry. Because there’s no way that the paparazzi would be plotted up outside on the anniversary of QEIi’s passing to capture any royals. No way at all.
The hatred for Harry is bizarre. Harry is a geezer.
@Depheruk
That’s not a reflection on the solid work you and your team do, that’s a reflection on the (small minority) of people who seek to take advantage of the generosity of others.
Head up, chest out, move forward.

Arbitrary numbers are meaningless. It’s no use recruiting 6500 teachers without pinpointing where they are needed. Training 6500 people who only want to work in, say, the south east when the need is in,say, the north west doesn’t solve the problem.
@NatashaMDay
That’s amazing! Our 15 yr old boy is autistic. His speech was similar to your lads at a similar age. It was thought his vocab and conversational ability would not develop any further. He’s now an extremely eloquent and chatty young man.
This is great news! I wish you all well!

Some researcher has cocked up here. There’s a Calvin Robinson who shows up as a US military veteran if you search Google. Not the same person.
Unless there’s a military wing of the Royal School of Dance, and even then the cosplay pastor didn’t pass out.

Going by the letter of the law they had to make this decision. Which just shows we need to amend the law. Offside should be clear and obvious. A toe being offside goes against the spirit of the game.

Exactly. If/when they’ve had their status approved they can then bring the family across safely rather than risking all crossing the channel on an overcrowded RIB.
The reason crossings have increased is due to a lack of safe legal routes. But the permanently outraged can’t see

Interested to read what Fred Thomas has bloated about. Apparently a Capt in the RM’s. Which is a fantastic achievement. Was it his rank or his deployments?

The right to a fair trial requires the right to a legal defence team. Or would you sooner do away with a trial and convict people without being able to defend themselves?
That sounds dictatorial to me. Shame on you.

The Sun publishing lies? Well I never!
Coult isn’t representative of the majority of veterans. He’s called out by many veterans for his toxic (grifting) rhetoric. He’s a disgrace to the values and standards of military service.

Congratulations on your achievements, they’re clearly hard earned and well deserved. I mean that sincerely.
What private schools provide over and above grades is the social capital and networking. We don’t live in a meritocracy. And that’s a sad state of affairs.

He’s off already! Folk saying he’s entitled to free speech. Fine. But it’s the falsehoods he spews out that generate traction and cause social division.
@brokenbottleboy
I am speechless. Volunteers for groups and teams such as the Night Safety Team carry out vital work that keeps vulnerable people safe. They fill a needs gap that the state fails to provide.
I am so sorry that this happened. I hope it doesn’t deter them from their vital work.

We all make mistakes. She’s owned hers. Fair play for that. She’ll learn a life lesson from this, grow and become a better person for it.
I will alway respect anyone who has it in them to own their mistakes.

Fred was unrecognisable today. Not just the goal but his overall play was pitch perfect. There’s room for improvement of course, but he did himself huge favours with that performance. Maybe the new gaffer is the man to bring out the best in Fred.

Yup, communication is key. Recognising possible triggers in advance helps too.
Our lad had a mock English test a few months back. He failed. The question was something like “Here’s an article. Imagine you liked the article. Write a review of it.”
He didn’t write a single word.

From a business perspective it makes perfect sense.

ETH has been given the money. He’s signed around 16 players on a permanent or loan basis, which ETH approved. What was the point signing Mount? Why pay £60mil for Casemiro?

Lots of folk arguing his freedom of speech is being removed. Yet he’s still able to be highly vocal on social media etc. I’ve no doubt another venue will host his act, because money talks and it will sell tickets.

A privately owned and managed venue absolutely has the right to pick and choose which acts it allows to perform on its stage.

I’m unlikely to ever vote Conservative. I disagree with almost everything your husband stands for. Apart from his work for veterans which has been exemplary.
Casting aspersions on your marriage based on political ideology is a bizarre take and uncalled for.
You know, it’s fine to disagree with someone on policy and politics if they come from a good place. There are people all across the political spectrum who have opposing views but genuinely want to make the world a better place for everyone.
Andrew Pierce is just a cunt though.

If the question was simply “write a review “ he’d have aced it. Asking an autistic kid to imagine being someone else with a different perspective… He’s never going to do that.

It should never come down to the playing side. Of course a coach will want a player of his ability if it’s just footballing considerations. This goes way beyond that. It’s a question of morals. And that needs to be an executive decision. The board needs to grow a pair and sack

It's unacceptable regardless of what side of the political divide one aligns with. Our diverse population is our strength. The array of cultures puts the Great into Great Britain. Aside from a minority of extremists who exist in all communities, we should be proud to be GB.

How? He’s slow, telegraphing his punches, and they aren’t flowing naturally. He’s trying to hard to do something that’s not natural for him.
Yes, he can strike in MMA but the stance is completely different.
He looks like a novice boxing. He doesn’t stand a chance.

Regardless of whether or not you support or oppose Assange, the idea that he’s been fairly treated is nonsense. 5 years in a high security prison, without trial, isn’t the best advert for western democracy.
