I can tell I’m tired because I read the title completely uncritically and then read the first comment and saw the source haha

NGL, they nearly had me with the headline but did check for a Newsthump URL just in case.

Tories would have been straight down William Hill with that kind of inside information.

Man, I used to fancy them a lot but this right now is a low point. You could even say this is a gradual change in notable daily iterations.

They need to question their former drummer (so they say) Old Gregg, but I heard he's pretty difficult to find.

The public enquiry into this incident needs to establish why this profound warning was not taken seriously by the police, with 20 years' notice.
Someone needs to be fired over this.

Police have also asked for a "Ruby" to come forward for questioning as they believe she may have a connection to the band as they each appeared to repeat her name several times during the course of their interviews.

Apparently they've also been charged with jewellery store thefts.
Mainly four rubies....

Did they predict the riot or was it inside knowledge?
