Does good old-fashioned cannabis resin exist any more? I thought it was something from my youth long since vanished, like decent new Stone Roses music

Do you remember "black squidgy" and "red seal" (which had that pakistani logo thing on it).

I'm northern and I work in a call centre so I speak to people from all over. But as soon as I go down to London it feels like nobody can understand me - I had a seriously hard time ordering any fast food at all for example. In place after place they'd just look at me baffled.

Mr Jackson obviously hasn't seen the episode of Downton Abbey where the posh girl fancied the jazz singer and how well that went down.

I remember them discussing this on QI. When the US soldiers came over in WW2 they would refuse to drink in the same pubs and eat in the same places/travel on the same trains as non white people. But we had no alternatives so it caused loads of friction. What an odd situation.

Why is May so popular?

I just don't get it

I think politics right now is completely up in the air. I've never really experienced any thing like this in my lifetime. Brexit and it's aftermath seems to have divided every one to some crazy extreme. I don't think these polls are reflecting on her popularity like they would under normal circumstances. She almost has a free ride.

This is from the Press Association.

There was a major security alert at the Palace of Westminster after a man apparently carrying a knife charged through the gates into the front yard of the parliamentary compound.

Amid shouts and screams, sounds similar to gunfire rang out.

Two people were seen to be lying within Old Palace Yard, immediately outside Westminster Hall.

The sitting in the House of Commons was suspended while police officers sealed off the area around the incident.

Immediately before the incident, at around 2.45pm, a crowd of passers-by was seen running from the direction of Westminster Bridge and around the corner into Parliament Square.

Theresa May, the prime minister, was rushed in to a car forty yards from the gates outside Parliament where shots were fired minutes after the incident occurred according to footage filmed by a member of staff.

She was ushered by at least eight armed undercover police, some with their firearms drawn, in to a waiting black vehicle in Speaker’s Court, the footage seen by the Guardian shows. Loud bangs can be heard in the background as she is is ushered in to a car, but it is unclear whether the bangs are gunshots.

loving hell do you think she was knocked in the thames?

"A female member of the public was recovered alive from the water, but with serious injuries. She has been brought ashore and is undergoing urgent medical treatment. The working assumption is that she fell or jumped from the bridge."
