In the news

Not being reported where I read.

It looks like that unless you can prove genuine danger their policy on Afghanistan is to repatriate.

the Swedish Migration Board stands by its assessment that the country is safe for asylum seekers whose applications have been denied.

Dorset old bill:

no further details yet, unfortunately it's only likely to be delayed as Swedish authorities have said they will try again, with a rented plane if necessary.

ha! forgot all about this. i was at the game when this happened. the fact that the game was so boring made it all the more exciting.

One of the arrested men in that acid attack on the 3 year old was the boy's father. Wtf?

The video to that is nuts. Word fail me.

That story is so weird.

Two suspects from Wolverhampton, three from Walthamstow, and the attack happens in Worcester.

Sounds like it was premeditated, in which case, what sort of absolute arsehole agrees to take part in that?

Absolutely awful.

I heard about this on the radio, it's odd all the way through. Four men to assault a 3 year old.

It's also horrific, and senseless - I presume more information will be revealed.

I read somewhere that the mother was the intended victim which possibly makes more sense (although is still pretty horrific).

I read as well that it was a group of bareknuckle boxers. Sounds like a horrible group of cunts whoever they are.

You wot? Has this just become random gossip central?

The news that's been out for the last several hours is that the father of the child seems to have organised it. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/07/25/five-charged-acid-attack-three-year-old-boy-worcester/

Meanwhile, every racist fuck in this country that hears of any crime seems to want to know if the criminal was Muslim...

No, it was on a local newspaper website from the West Midlands, which was one of the first results on Google.

Edit: and it's in the Metro too. Not the most highbrow newspaper, but it's also not just idle gossip: https://metro.co.uk/2018/07/24/one-men-arrested-worcester-acid-attack-boys-father-7754435/

Medical cannabis to be legalized. No doubt there are some details that need specified, but good news!

"This will help patients with an exceptional clinical need but is in no way a first step to the legalisation of cannabis for recreational use."

Yay, the first step towards legalisation for recreational use.

That sort of reasoning may actually harm legislation for medical cannabis.

I am all for total decriminalization but for some people it is just not acceptable to use recreationally while cannabis as medication is ok to them.

Prague cycle ban thrown out:

How much tax would the government want from sales of recreational cannabis? Currently 82% of the cost of a packet of fags is tax.

yeah, but the markups on artisanal organic cannabis will be phenomenal

Industrial farming techniques will, I suspect, prove to be somewhat more efficient than growing plants in ones loft, hence a lower overall cost of production will be realised.

While riding leh to manali in northern india the stuff grew like nettles everywhere.

Has there ever been a more inept minister than Chris Grayling?

No.

Next question.
