Thread | Channel-smuggling gang's French and UK network exposed ...
at 17:41 5 Aug 2025
"A BBC investigation has exposed the French and UK operations of a powerful and violent smuggling gang taking people across the English Channel in small boats.
A reporter, posing as a migrant wanting to cross, helped us gain unprecedented access to the smugglers' notorious forest hideout in northern France - an area plagued by armed battles between rival gangs.
Secret filming at a major UK railway station also captured associates of the gang collecting cash payments to secure migrant places on illegal Channel crossings.
Two men met us on separate occasions on the busy concourse at Birmingham's New Street Station to collect envelopes containing hundreds of pounds."

Thread | How 'Wrexham effect' is transforming non-league football ...
at 14:43 1 Aug 2025
"Previously the sole domain of local businessmen - and, less commonly, businesswomen - growing numbers of clubs are now benefitting from the weight, and substantial cash, of celebrities, publicity-hungry entrepreneurs, social media gurus and foreign investors enticed by the lower reaches of England's football pyramid, which encompasses everything below the fully professional League Two.
Average weekly attendances across the top four non-league tiers reached an all-time high of 117,586 last season, marking an increase of 43% over the past five years and 89% in a decade.
Reynolds and McElhenney are now far from the only famous faces on the scene.
When multi award-winning rapper Stormzy and former Crystal Palace footballer Wilfried Zaha bought ninth-tier Croydon Athletic in 2023, their motivations were boosting the London borough in which they both grew up.
The club immediately won promotion in their first season."

Thread | Conor McGregor loses appeal in civil rape case
at 08:42 1 Aug 2025
"Conor McGregor has lost his civil jury appeal against a finding that he sexually assaulted a woman.
In November, McGregor was ordered to pay £206,000 in damages plus costs to Nikita Hand, who accused him of raping her in a hotel in Dublin in 2018.
McGregor appealed on the grounds that his lawyers believed his answers to police during interviews should not have been put before the jury."

Thread | Battle of Orgreave national inquiry confirmed ...
at 10:17 21 Jul 2025
"A national inquiry will be held into one of the most violent days of the year-long miners' strike in the 1980s, the government has announced.
The inquiry would look into the clash that involved police and miners outside the Orgreave coking plant in Rotherham on 18 June 1984.
The incident, which became known as the Battle of Orgreave, involved miners from across Britain converging on the plant to try to disrupt deliveries, but they were met with force by thousands of police officers."
