The government have blocked Kanye West’s visa, so Wireless festival have thrown their toys out of the pram and cancelled the whole event.
Seems a bit unnecessary. Couldn’t they just find another performer?
Not a hill I would be prepared to die on.

Seems like they wanted the controversy, and therefore the publicity.

I suspect they were struggling to find anyone to play the festival and ticket sales were poor.
So they were going to cancel anyway. Otherwise why release your headline act so late.

Genuine lol at that.

He's been sh!te for years, blamed his mental health for literal Nazi pish and yet this will probably be hailed as some kind of weird victory against hatred on the streets.

It’s funny and so well edited.

The bonkers weather gave me the most incredible rainbow I’ve ever seen whilst driving on the M5 at Avonmouth earlier. The normal arch was pretty flat and very vivid but it then extended on through the spray on the road in front of my bonnet which was pretty spectacular. However, I then looked out of the driver side window to the east and in that direction the arch continued vividly down the front of the hillside, over the fields and then across the road and under my car where it would have completed a full loop with the bit in front of the bonnet. I need to check my dashcam footage to see if is recorded although unfortunately the bit through the side window will have been out of shot (there was a double rainbow too but that’s pretty common).

Going by that, I'd avoid Scotland even more!

Not only Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland also have rates higher than England, and, higher than North East England.

Is Isle of Wight a deprived area?

Even though I know it's a question of what one's used to, I don't know how people live in super-heated hermetically-sealed houses. As enormously grateful as I was to have been hosted, post-op, by two sets of good friends, I'm glad to be back in my own house where I keep warm by putting on an oodie till the house warms up during the morning, and then sitting in the sun, to warm the blood like a lizard. At least I can breathe cool air.

And I've literally never had a heated bedroom. That's why quilts were invented.

There's only one word for this: insanity. Though I suppose it goes along with the Trumpist mindset: fuck everyone not on the inside.

I take your point but the photo needs something beside the truck for scale to emphasise that point.

Have you only just discovered those monstrosities?! Been around for a while. At least the ones used for their designed purpose make sense, but the "Platinum" edition is a joke.
