    The refugee & migrant crisis

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35849167 I wonder if anyone else is as disappointed as I am by the EU's squalid little "one-for-one" deal in the refugee/migrant crisis? No,I don't have any "magic bullet" solutions but I'd be interested to hear what other zoners think about the worst...

    Iain Duncan Smith quits

    Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has resigned over "indefensible" changes to disability benefits. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-35848687 Not really surprising I suppose. I wonder whether Gove will be next?

    The Budget

    http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-35828339 I see Boy George has a rather massive get out of jail clause for his claim that GB will be back in the black by 2020:-"provided the economy keeps growing." Rememember this is the man who promised to clear the deficit by the end of the Tories first...

    Totally beyond belief????

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35773649 No, this is not about the veracity or otherwise, of these leaked papers..........it's a more important question than that. We live in a western democracy........freedom of the press and all that b******s. So, from that point of view and...

    The Hatton Garden Jewellery Burglary

    The 'geriatrics' that carried out this burglary have been sentenced today. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-35767110 As a law abiding citizen I have always thought that people who steal others property should pay the price if they are caught. I can't help thinking in this case that...

    Who would play you in a movie?

    I've just done the this latest bit of BBC nonsense quiz based on whether you are extrovert or introvert. It turns out that I would be played by Shia LaBeouf in a film. My immediate reaction to that was who the **** is he? Google has sorted that happily...

    ECL Wildcards

    So the president of Barcalona wants top clubs who fail to qualify for the Champions' League to be given wildcards like in tennis: BBC What an idiot. Apart from the obvious: that this is moving further and further away from a Champions' League, he seems to have completely missed the point of...

    A spoof news website has been recognised as an "official media outlet" by a council after it gained thousands of followers on social media. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-35612405 Stand by for more exclusives on Southend United probably.
  17. Farewell to BBC3

    As it moves to Interweb only, how did you rate the "young adult" channel. It gave us Gavin & Stacey and the peerless Monkey Dust, but also such bilge as Snog, Marry, Avoid. So a loss or do you not care?
  18. Southend v Northampton and Wolves 1986-87

    I remember the highlights of both the FA Cup 2nd round and league games were featured on either Football Focus or Saints and Greavsie on the Saturday after the Friday night games that season. Having had a look through YouTube I can't find the highlights at all - does anybody if they are out...

    Poor BBC Journalism

    I was just catching up on League Two football (as you do as passing interest now) and I was reading about Morecambe's last ditch equalizer again Pompey last night on the BBC website. Spot the shoddy journalism! I know we can never beat the team from Lancashire but that doesn't mean they can use...
