Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s name to be hyphenated, as decreed by late queen
Palace announcement of ex-prince’s new name missed out hyphen used by other descendants of Elizabeth II
Ever since the former Prince Andrew was demoted to plain Mr Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, royal observers and historians have scratched their heads over his missing hyphen.
Buckingham Palace’s official statement announcing his new commoner status was clear, in black and white, that aside from losing his HRH and princely title and dukedom, he was also to be deprived of a punctuation mark that had been officially decreed by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Checkatrade is a laugh. Of those trades that could be bothered to respond, got quotes of £450, £180 and £190 (all exclusive of VAT) for a small plumbing job. My regular plumber (who I thought was away) just came and sorted it for £70 plus VAT.

It’s fantastic that Tim Davie has gone.
It’s worrying that he went because he wasn’t right wing enough.

Herts County Councillor Paul Zukowskyj on local radio reinforcing the importance of people giving way at school crossings. That’ll be the same Paul Zukowskyj who aggressively tailgated me into the office a few years back despite the fact that I was already going over the speed limit.

I’m in a Spoons. There’s been a major falling out on the next table. It’s awkward. No words spoken in ages. Reminds me of when I bought my niece a Swiss Army knife and she accused me of being a self obsessed cunt.

Charlotte Edwards was never going to be at the vanguard of a new era for the England cricket team when she’s just picked those players that are over the hill or who were never good enough but have been mainstays in the team for far too long.

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has said he would not now perform in Israel, eight years after the band defied pro-Palestinian activists to play a show in Tel Aviv.

When Maccabi fans are banned for their own safety it’s because of anti-semitism. When they are banned because they are violent racist wankers it’s because of anti-semitism. This is the world according to Keir Starmer where everything and everyone is anti-semitic.
Can we please get some perspective. If Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters were banned because of a risk to them it would absolutely be anti-semitism. When they are banned because they have a track record of causing violence it is just common sense. Preventing football hooliganism is normally a good idea.

Prince Andrew isn’t an outlier. He’s just one out of that bunch of wrong ‘uns unlucky enough to get caught out. You’re not telling me that old sausage fingers hasn’t been up to all sorts, including the murder of his first wife. Wrong ‘uns, the fucking lot of em.

Imagine Millwall fans being banned from a match in Israel and the government complaining that nice Englishmen had been barred from placidly enjoying a football match.
British politicians clearly don't know much about Maccabi fans. This was a banner they displayed against a Polish team. Banning them absolutely the right decision.

Got to feel sorry for Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters. They spend decades trying to become violent ultra-nationalist racists and yet everyone in the media and government is portraying them as the sort of fans that would help old people across the road. Unless the old people were Arabs, obviously.
