Doing 5Live in a minute on ID cards and I'm wracking my brain as to why anyone would need an ID card to report a pothole? Could people get some kind of gold star for reporting more than 10 potholes? Penalised for reporting too many? WHAT IS THE USE CASE?

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

#Gaza:
People are being starved, while a few kilometers away supermarkets are loaded with food.

UNRWA has thousands of trucks in neighbouring countries, loaded with food and medicines.

We are just waiting for the green light.

Lift the siege and let aid in at scale.

Never knew Britain was besieged by so many octogenarian terrorists who demand children not be starved and slaughtered.

94% of the people raped in the UK are women, and 98% of the people arrested for rape or sexual assault are men. And — to repeat — around 3% of *reported* rapes result in a conviction. If you are looking for a feminist campaign, put down the LARGE GAMETES placard and start screaming at the CPS.

more of this "chortlesome approach to planning". if you are building housing next to it cricket ground, **obviously** part of that job is "have you checked whether the cricket balls will hit the houses".
1. Anecdote does not equal data

2. Chekhov’s Law of Dramatic Irony now requires someone be concussed or killed by a mishit cricket ball.

3. If this was the evidence provided with a £5k funding bid you’d throw it straight in the bin
