@YourSouthend Stop using the retail park. When their revenues drop then they’ll change. It’s not very good anyway. Nothing you can’t buy elsewhere.

New parking rules have just come into force at the Southend Airport Retail Park – including a full ban on drop-offs and strict time limits for shoppers.
It’s aimed at stopping people avoiding the nearby airport’s minimum £8 drop-off charge… but some shoppers say it could make normal visits to the retail park stressful. yoursouthend.co.uk/three-hour-lim…

We are aware that Sak Hassan, under contract with Wealdstone FC, appeared in this evening’s Baller League.
The club was not approached for permission for Sak to participate, nor were we made aware of his involvement in advance.
We will now be following up with both the Baller League and the player directly. No further comment will be made until those discussions have taken place.

@BlessingGives I see a hatrick of zero points there

Jeremy Corbyn joins a rally to show his support for the Iranian regime. He really is a disgusting little man.

@bolderston_mark I had a blue one with black vinyl. I thought I had arrived. Looking back it was like driving a settee but I loved those velor seats. I’ve still got a chrome ‘e’ . Nostalgia is not what it used to be. ☺️👍

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic.

@that_stocks_guy @norwichsongster @currys Buying anything from @currys is a big gamble.
My understanding is that they don’t take the manufacturer guarantee but reduce the price by providing their own one. However………

A rant for @currys, who are currently breaking the law.
Normally I'd let it go, but your customer service is a shitshow and your desire to wash your hands of the faulty items you sell is illegal.
On 10 October 2025, I walked into your Exeter shop and bought a PCSpecialist computer.
This was the birthday present for my 12-year-old.
A present they'd been dropping hints about for months with the subtlety of a child who remains terrible at poker. They'd saved their own pocket money towards it. I topped it up.
It was, genuinely, a lovely moment.
For four months, it was perfect. Homework. Games. The full experience of being 12 in 2025.
On 22 February 2026, four months and 12 days after purchase, it stopped working.
No final farewell.
It just… stopped.
My child sat there pressing the power button with increasing desperation, and nothing happened. The machine that had cost a significant amount of adult money, and a not-insignificant amount of 12-year-old pocket money, was dead.
Fine, I thought.
This is what a receipt is for.
I'll call Currys (the shop I bought it from, with my money, as a birthday present for my child) and they'll sort it.
Your staff told me that my contract wasn't with Currys, and that I should contact the manufacturer.
They also told me to go in-store with the machine to have it looked at.
I went in-store.
The in-store staff told me to call the number I had just called.
I called again.
I was given the phone number for PCSpecialist.
Phone → store → same phone → manufacturer.
A perfect circle of not helping.
A masterpiece of redirection.
If it weren't happening to me, I'd almost admire it.
Now let's talk about the law, because I think someone at Currys may have forgotten it exists.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is not a suggestion.
It is extremely clear on this point: when you buy something from a retailer, your legal contract is with that retailer.
Not the brand on the box.
Not the manufacturer.
Not some third party you've never met.
The shop. The one that took your money and handed you a receipt.
Within the first six months of purchase, the law presumes the fault existed at the point of sale.
I don't have to prove the computer was faulty when I bought it. Currys has to prove it wasn't. The burden of proof sits entirely with them.
During this window, I am legally entitled to a repair or a replacement, and if either of those fails, a full refund.
We are currently inside that six-month window. I bought it on 10 October 2025. I complained on 22 February 2026. I am four and a half months in.
The law is not ambiguous about what happens here.
What makes this particularly spectacular is that Currys' own published policy acknowledges the six-month framework.
It is written down on their website. They know the rules.
They have typed them up and put them on the internet.
They are simply hoping that their customers are too tired from the runaround to actually enforce them.
PCSpecialist are entirely blameless in this story. They manufactured a machine.
Currys sold that machine to me.
My dispute is with Currys.
Directing me to PCSpecialist is the retail equivalent of Tesco selling you a gone-off chicken, and when you try to return it, handing you the farmer's phone number.
The farmer didn't sell you the chicken.
You don't have to knock on the farmer's door.
You go back to the supermarket.
This is not a controversial legal position. It is just how shops work.
My 12-year-old has been without their birthday present for a few days now. They have been, I have to say, considerably more gracious about this than I have.
They haven't complained. They've been patient. They are, in this situation, the bigger person — which is a sentence I never expected to write about a primary school leaver, but here we are.
They shouldn't have to be patient. They should just have a working computer.
So this is where we are, @currys.
I know my rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
But before I go down the small claims court route, and start contacting every journalist in my network on a slow news day, I am giving you the opportunity to do the right thing, in the hope that public accountability is more efficient than your customer service helpline.
A child saved their pocket money for this. Sort it out.

Let's make Palestine non-negotiable this election.
By signing the People's Pledge for Palestine, voters commit to only support candidates who have vowed to stand against genocide.

Well, well, well… look at this pathetic, terrorist-hugging, antisemitic old cunt Jeremy Corbyn slithering out of the shadows once again like the rancid piece of shit he is.
This is the man who spent decades openly cosying up to the most blood-soaked terrorists and dictators on the planet. He called Hamas and Hezbollah his “friends”, laid wreaths for the monsters who murdered Israeli athletes at Munich, defended the IRA, shared platforms with Holocaust deniers, and cheered on every anti-British, anti-Western cause going. He is not a principled socialist. He is a vile, snivelling, oxygen-thieving traitor who has spent his entire miserable life siding with Britain’s deadliest enemies.
This man is the reason the Labour Party dramatically changed into a festering, Jew-hating, morally bankrupt swamp of pure evil. Jewish members were hounded out in droves, the party was found guilty of institutional antisemitism by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, and Corbyn himself was suspended for defending an antisemitic mural. He turned what was once a major political party into a rancid sewer for every degenerate, terrorist-sympathising freak in the country.
Economically, the man is a certified fucking lunatic. Nationalise everything, tax the rich until the pips scream, print money like a deranged crackhead, destroy the City of London, and bankrupt the country that was his genius plan. He still believes every word of that deranged horseshit. While real working people watched their wages stagnate and their communities collapse, Corbyn was too busy virtue-signalling about Palestine and Venezuela to give a single flying fuck about them.
This irrelevant, terrorist-embracing, antisemitism-enabling, economically illiterate, oxygen-thieving, national-disgrace cunt has no business being anywhere near public life. He is a walking, talking embarrassment, a political corpse that refuses to stay buried, and a permanent, stinking, cancerous stain on this country’s history.
The dirty old cunt is fully exposed. The British people see him for exactly what he is.
Britain first. No surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together. That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election. We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.
