I'd considered editing to add an asterisk and footnote to that effect but thought someone else would have that bit of the job covered

Cornwall include a few Islands as well but they're shit

Story that sums up some fantastically awful modern British traits.

Decelopers build flats having undertaken to provide play areas, don’t provide them.

Children in social housing aren’t allowed to play in private communal gardens.

Children play in corridors.

Neighbours record children playing and families are then threatened with eviction.

This'll be another shit sandwich that's withdrawn after opposition, with the full intent of revisiting after the public has got used to the taste of stronger faeces.

The Tory leadership contest has been like seeing a reel of Marvel trailers for films ten years down the pike, right down to the overt fascism.

Quote

When families asked where their children could play City of London wrote back that they were not aware of “any obligation for the developer to provide play space”.

Putting families into developments with no spaces for children to play in the area, and issuing threatening letters when Karen down the hall complains about the kids playing in the corridors. Sounds perfectly cromulent to me.

The story reminds of this one, closer to home, where developers sought to ban people from hanging their washing out to dry in their garden "for aesthetic purposes"

The program also has leisure time post de-radicalisation with trips to the local Spoons to watch this stripper while pouring warm flat beer down your throat. 

I've had thousands of worse nights to be fair !

They need to bring back Gardyloo rights in Reekie to restore the natural order

A peninsula is almost but not entirely surrounded by water, Fife and Kintyre are peninsulas, so are Denmark and those twats in Cornwall, Northern Ireland isn't

Apparently a better term would be "semi-Enclave" or possibly  "Pene-enclave"

To be even more pedantic, Kintyre is seperated from the rest of Scotland by the Crinan Canal.

The Lords of the Isles considered Kintyre an island.

The word you are looking for is "separated". 

Not that I am being pedantic or anything like that.

The Crinan Canal has 15 locks and is crossed by seven bridges, six swing bridges and a retractable bridge so whereas this may be pedantry in extremis, it isn't separated

Should turn you into a True Blue Brit

So a night of flicking between Channel 5 and BBC 4 then.

You can tell from this picture how heart-broken the wee boy's mum is and how she isn't buzzing from the attention in the slightest...

That is beyond sick. That is absolutely ridiculous that anyone never mind an MP is using the final hours of a young person's life as a cheap publicity stunt and photo opportunity. She is scum.

Archie's sister-in-law Ella Carter described his death as "barbaric", and said there "is nothing dignified about watching a family member suffocate.

I know it must be hard to accept that someone's life is over but as far as I am concerned the "Barbaric" thing about this is how the wee boy had no dignity in death. The whole affair was turned into a circus and the actions of the mp are outrageous.  Funnily enough I said to the other half that this is getting to the Hannah Moore stage.
