I was tagged and asked to take a look at this claim - cos, well just look at it!🙄

Does it seem plausible that THE Trocadero is going to be turned into a Mosque?

It was pretty easy to debunk but I decided to do a deep dive into the reality AND the appalling press coverage

I host a pub quiz in a small village pub where the prize is not normally more than £20. In fact the Haribo sweets for last place are loved more. Didn’t stop a team sending their kids into the adjoining pool room to use phones to get the answer. For such a small prize I was amazed at the effort.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

People who don't understand the background or context of people's pay structure really need to STFU about people's pay.

Also, if your beef is with doctors for wanting more money, you've got your priorities wrong.

2: The Conjuring 2. Taking the Enfield Haunting as the base of the story this is an effective horror that doesn’t try to break new ground but uses the tropes of possession and haunted house stories to good effect 7/10

Classic dissection of British warfare and foreign policy pre WWII, badly executed straight to DVD sequel, decent attempt at Robert The Bruce with a very dodgy accent and fun legacy sequel.
