There were a few near misses in the Athletics. If things had worked out better the UK would have won 4 golds instead of just the 1 in the Athletics. Normally the UK pick up a gold medal in the boxing and win more gold medals in the sailing and cycling. Finishing third behind only the USA and China in the medal count table is a good achievement.

Whether they are a minority group or a majority group they have lost the argument when they start attacking the police and looting shops.

A meaningless gimmick. Action is needed to deter others from joining in the rioting and lawlessness from spreading.

The army should have been brought in which will be a better deterrent than lighting Downing Street up in pink.

The last time anything like this happened was in 2011. In 2011 the government were quick to get the trouble causers into courts and sentenced. Swift justice is needed to act as a deterrent otherwise the disorder will continue to spread.

Tamworth is the latest place where trouble has taken place. Hotels accommodating migrants are being targeted in a number of locations.

Similar to what has been reported in Sunderland. It became a spectator event and ended up a good night out for those spectating.

Not good, the hot weather hasn't helped. Hopefully things will calm down soon.

Blood donation

Sorry. It's online that is the problem. The problem seems to be there are too many people wanting to donate blood which is why there is an online queue. About 20 minutes wait.

Thank you for the explanation. I thought the culprit was charged with 3 murders and pleaded not guilty but admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility which led me to believe his mental state was used as defence. Wouldn't he have pleaded guilty to the 3 murders if his mental state wasn't used as his defence?

The mental health issues was used as a defence for the person responsibility for the attacks in Nottingham last year. The families of the victims are not happy he was not convicted of murder.
