I would have no objection to the police following her add to buy it off of her and then arresting her but not give her any money. A despicable act but Is it technically stealing?

Alan Green says right at the end of the clip, "Mum knows best". Shirley not.

In fairness, he probably assumed the better of her. You don't expect to see this sort of thing happen.

Yes, I agree he did, and one doesn't. My "Shirley not" wasn't intended to be critical of his assessment of the situation, but it definitely could easily be read that way. Careless use of language, I fear.

This again feels uneasily like one of those sequences where it's hard to decide what's more dispiriting: the fact that meanness consistently occurs in the world or the reactionary capability technology gives people to metaphorically grab their wooden stakes and begin shouting for beheadings.

Depends on the video footage. The youngsters are fighting over it, and she is clearly not in possession. So maybe it is.

Well at least it shows some democritisation. Ten years ago we'd have to wait for the newspapers to decide who needed lynching; now we can do it amongst ourselves.

I'm going to bet the following two things will happen in tomorrow's media.


- Sad photo of devastated child clutching playoff final programme, surrounded by PNE curtains and bedset. "Bint stole my dream" style headline

- Paparazzi style photo of scummy woman and looking scummy. They won't even bother asking her for a quote they'll just make her look as horrible as possible.

- Heartwarming tale of how, as soon as Beckford heard the news, he offered the kid his boots AND a shirt signed by the whole team

Am I missing something?

Yes, you are. That's three things. :wink:


Youre not wrong though...

Is that why you are called Two Choice ?

As it happens, I wouldn't bet against all of those in one article.
