The inquiry that followed the Victoria Climbie case recommended that responsibility should rest with the Secretary of State in such cases. The Government accepted this recommendation. This was before the Baby P case.

Ed Balls was the Secretary of State at the time of the Baby P case. When you know that, it seems that he wasn’t just throwing the slavering tabloids a bone. It looks more like he was sacrificing her to create a diversion to save his own neck.

Elf, I saw it on a wall.

Also, Julie is a sket.

Some people are very gullible.

Tell me more..

Beef extract. Just think about that for a second.

Ex secret service guy told me about the motorbike pursuit training. You got a ‘free pass’ in case dibble stopped you, but if they caught you, you’d failed the test.

Lol @ Elf – “Old Mum was French, Old man was French.. He was a..”

Me? Some Irish blood, can’t be arsed with the maths. Defnitly not a standard British outlook. We’re so similar but crucially different.

And so the Knievel myth crumbles.

Still like it tho!

Roman soldiers used to thrash themselves with bunches of nettles to beat the cold. That’s why they brought them here with them. Hard bastards.

It’s always bb o’clock! Discovered ’em in Cali and I think I’m hooked. That bottle of hot sauce I brought back is disappearing fast.

Mods – this thread dost offend mine eye. Away ye with it hence, forthwith. Or something. Wibble.

Here we go again. Cue all manner of chippy Northern monkeys banging on about how terrible London is, ad nauseam.

Great idea chamonix666. Always easier doing business with someone on the same wavelength as yourself.

= psychosis

Boardman FTW!

mashups = wack

just listen to two tunes you like, separately

I’m thinking that it was an ironic attempt to juxtapose the genius of screamadelica with a possible figurehead of how awful rock music would have been without it?

Deep thinking. I like.

It’s repeated at 12:30!

The programme’s repeated at 12:30

Not recommended in Paris.

Ever ran out of paper and had to use the roll?

I can’t decide.

I’m waiting for “The Other Way Is Hull”, which will be about people with fake tans in Scunthorpe.
