    Question for the EV experts here

    I'm an EV owner. My initial feeling is to go for the petrol. How much is the difference on the hire? Your charging is going to cost about the same as the petrol. You've never used one before, no matter what anybody says, they take a little getting used to. Unless it's a massive saving, go...

    The little town where I live is on the Daily Mirror website (as little Monaco)

    And congratulations to Middlesbrough for being the unexpected best paid "City" https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/08/best-worst-paid-uk-cities-revealed-compare-23603364/

    Last year felt a lot better than previous years.

    Should policing football be paid for by football clubs?

    Saw this late tonight and surprised it hadn't been posted already. Met Chief suggests that clubs should be footing the cost of policing the events with a suggested cost of £70m per year. Conversely, I've seen quotes of the Premier League contributing £4.2bn per year in direct taxes to the...

    The Police - keeping us safe

    "Im not trying to bring a direct equivalence to these two events by the way. They are hugely different and one is clearly much bigger than the other, but there are many people who support the narrative of the extreme right wing. I'm just trying to make the point that just because you beleive in...

    The Police - keeping us safe

    I imagine there's many who watched the riots in the country last year who were sympathetic to the fact that hundreds of people took to the streets to show their frustration at a system they perceive to be broken, but then were appalled at the Violence that took place afterwards. Unfortunately...

    The Police - keeping us safe

    Well as you know. The equipment that was damaged was not being sold to Isreal but I'm not here to be pedantic nor to defend the UK government position on the conflict. There's many issues in this thread that are being conflated though they do intersect.

    The Police - keeping us safe

    I'm certainly surprised that they didn't take such action against any of the right wing groups that have propogated over the past few years. There's significant organisation that's taken place which has been evidenced for years. The ideology is clear too and I don't even think it's up for...

    The Police - keeping us safe

    I agree they are. But in the real world you can't justify an act of sabotage against defence equipment and violence in the UK with the actions of a foreign government. Even if you think our government isnt doing enough. I think there's a few people on here who actually seem to agree with the...

    The Police - keeping us safe

    It's relevant in as much its included in the definition and your commentary seems to suggest that you beleive that their actions don't match what's posted in that legislation

    The Police - keeping us safe

    I think the very nature of the premises they entered being a site relating to national security would automatically hit the threshold of it being serious. Is a very clear aggravating factor by any reasonable means. You've also not acknowledged the violence piece on three separate occasions at...

    The Police - keeping us safe

    We can agree to disagree mate. I'll be honest, I'm not actually arguing that they should be proscribed. I'm just telling you that their actions are clearly covered in the legislation that's been set out for some time. I'm also seeing a lot of assumptions online about the legislation, it's...

    The Police - keeping us safe

    To be fair they fall squarely into the definition based on the legislation. You can disagree with that by all means and we can debate the legislation and interpretation but its there: Relevant UK Terrorism Law: Terrorism Act 2000 Under the Terrorism Act 2000, terrorism is defined broadly. Key...
