Apparently he hired the van in Wales and drove all the way for this. Perhaps the history of the mosque explains why he picked that particular one.

Oh! I didn’t even spot Emma Stone side-shuffling out of shot in that first gif! Gold.

You’re absolutely right about younger children being prioritised, although I feel like part of the reason police may have not given as much attention to Grace Packer is because she was perhaps not “well adjusted and stable”. I’m certainly not suggesting that all adopted kids are badly adjusted (although if her…

This is devastatingly true and seems to be the war wars are faught now. This was a really interesting Guardian article published a while ago https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/news/2014/dec/09/-sp-myth-of-the-good-war?client=safari It really discusses how since WW2, wars have been faught with…

I’ve been noticing this in my own life recently. I called a family member out on some pretty public racism (fucking Facebook) and the reaction I’ve had from my (white) family is so infuriating. I’m the bad guy for bringing it up “oh don’t talk about that - he’s awful - ignore him”. I sympathise because the world is…

I think it’s perfectly acceptable to criticise someone’s behaviour without mocking their mental state. I recently had to spend the weekend with a very right wing, racist guy with autism. His autism makes him impressionable and so I wouldn’t treat him with the same derision I would anyone else, but his autism does not…

Not to mention the camio later on by the robot devil from Futurama. Total shambles, that film

I could absolutely Google this, but you seem very well informed so I’ll ask...could you explain the idea behind bail bonds in America? I’m in the UK (actually used to be a police officer here, so I’m familiar with how it works here). Here, the police put together a charging case and the higher ups/CPS make a final…

In the UK we had Jordan change her name back to Katie Price (I don’t know how well known, if at all, she is across the pond). Anyway, it took her about 10 years to shake her page 3 moniker, but she did it. So, shrug, I guess?

Or even be in my line of vision! If they must go out in public, I want all men to do their best to act like they’re not men at all. That way, I’ll be able to go about my day without thinking about them.

“...and unwelcome given the general situation.” I’ve heard a lot of this since the recent attacks in Paris, and the whole notion drives me to distraction. There was a similar rhetoric when a news anchor wearing a hijab reported on the Nice attacks (I think, although someone would need to confirm who this was, because…

You win! I cringed and guffawed at the same time. There are far more legitimate things to hate on this guy for than his looks but God! Every time I look at him I think “this guy?? Seriously??” He’s not even good looking enough to trick you into doing stupid shit - why do these women keep funding him?!

Wasn’t there a vanity fair article a while back that went through all of the allegations against him? I can’t say I’ve read very widely around the subject, but that article certainly gave me pause. Almost surprised there wasn’t mention of that here. I Imagine there are a lot of mixed feelings from those who knew him.

I have no idea why everyone is jumping on you. On reflection, there are a lot of reasons why she would have drunk it anyway, but on reading the article, my first reaction was the same as yours. “I don’t have enough context to get this right away” is not the same as “why did she do that? She had it coming”, which some…

Oh I have no doubt it was deliberate. During the last Olympics, a (I think) biscuit company ran an ad suggesting tea bagging (biscuits, tea, geddit?) as a “sport” - it was funnier than I’m making it sound. Anyway, we love a bit of “I can’t believe you found something filthy in that completely innocent sentence ;)“.…

There’s a crime series in the UK called Silent Witness which in the later series cast Liz Carr (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Carr) as a main character. Her disability was barely mentioned and was never used as a plot point. She just happened to be in a wheel chair. I thought it was a really normalising,…

Not at all, and I’d like to believe that when Heard was accused to violence then that it was taken seriously. As should her accusations against Depp

This, please. I have a friend in an abusive relationship. No lie, she has instigated her fair share of their arguments, but no amount of shitty behaviour from one party justifies raising a hand to someone. Heard doesn't have to be an angel to be a victim.

You’re right. There is no way to respond to your comment without looking like an abject moron by association.

There’s actually really interesting dispute going on in the UK where a company mandated that their receptionist had to wear heels. She’s petitioning for it to be illegal to demand that women wear heels.
