Death of Pope Francis & election of new Pope
Honestly the stuff the Vatican has on display in its museum is nothing compared to what sits in the vaults under it. There is priceless artefacts and wealth hidden away from view. The Catholic Church may just be the richest institution on earth

And all because the lady loves (Lib Dems thread)
It’s for sure a thing, and it’s not restricted to the U.K. either. Happens a lot in Berlin and just yesterday in Genova we passed a young couple walking up the Main Street blaring and half singing along to music from a phone. It’s unenforceable as a law, but parents should be better at educating their children about respect for others and society. So many problems we have could be solved if people just had a little more respect for each other

2025 European Tour
No at 6am the next day we drove 1200km to northern Italy 😅 They were so good! My bf was impressed by their vocals and enjoyed it. Tho he thought they are a bit introverted/weird coz they do like no crowd interaction I thought it was a shame we had none of the visuals in Berlin. But otherwise I really enjoyed it. I had a borderline out of body experience to Weeds. That was unreal live. I transcended

Have you seen any BJSC artists live?
It’s been a while But I’ve now also seen Gabrielle and Nico Santos as hoped! I have got only a couple of concerts booked this year but one is Sugababes 1.0 and the other is Gabrielle (and Linken Park) so that’s an exciting few months. Not on my list of wishes because I didn’t quite think it would ever happen but it did was Delta Goodrem who I’ve now seen THREE times live. The first of which involved the very first FSR Ashvia meet up at Deltas first UK headlining gig. Truly a historic moment. I’ve also seen my very first winner Molly Sandén live who was phenomenal, it’s been a year and I’m still shook. Nina Chuba was also seen last summer. Since the last update I also saw Mutya at a solo gig at RVT which was incredible. The vibes were immaculate, her lip piercing broke halfway through and then she spontaneously added Suffer For Love to the set list because she was „suffering for us“ a true queen. I’ve seen Leony twice as well, Remedy remains a banger and goes off live. That’s about all I can remember. I’ve seen a bunch of ESC acts too lately but none of the ones I’ve seen have been entered into BJSC other than Loreen

2025 European Tour
Yeah at this point I think it’s safe to say that most have already seen everything So glad you had a great time!!! I heard they didn’t have the satellite stage/catwalk from the UK tour in Antwerp so I’m hoping that’s the case for the whole of the European tour quite selfishly coz my soundcheck ticket is gonna get me a primo spot on the barrier 😅😅😅😅

The UK and transphobia
Ultimately this is not surprising in any way shape or form. Despite having 4.5 years ahead of them in power and a massive minority they’re acting like a minority government days away from announcing a dogfight of an election. You cannot govern catering to a narrow by noisy minority and by stooping to their level all you do is legitimise their shite and move the Overton Window further. They have a huge majority, it’s a shame to see how utterly unambitious they are. They could simply brush this under the carpet with a swift „hmmm, yes. I see. Well we are grateful to the petitioners for making us aware of the various passages of the Equalities Act that require modernisation. We will bring forward in due course an amendment to the Equalities Act to better reflect the updates brought forward by the Gender Recognition bill and codify the rights and dignity of all the vulnerable, minority and marginalised communities protected by the Equalities Act“ and then be firm but fair with „we will change the equalities act to ensure the dignity of all, why are you discriminating against a protected minority?“

The UK and transphobia
I’ve been struggling to find the appropriate words but my silence is becoming deafening. I’ve said JK Terfling was a piece of shit c**t since 2014 so on her as far as I’m concerned y’all are late. She donated 7 figures to the Unionists, and had a few choice things to say at the time. Clearly the writing was on the way that she was a) socially conservative and b) a wrong un I had hoped that the UK gov would have had done something by now. Seems that was wishful thinking. Scotlands attempts to introduce Self-ID seems to have been the real momentum driver here (and since Scotland started the process numerous non-English speaking countries have successfully implemented it without issue including Germany who did so after the UK gov blocked Scotlands law - which I think says it all. Conservative American money talks, but it only knows English). The UK has for a decade been constantly taking the wrong path, my hope was that under Labour we’d start to find our way back to the correct path but it feels like we’re on the same path but now we’ve a torch to help us see. The ruling technically doesn’t change any law but it does alter guidelines in a way that is a net loss for millions. Not just the vulnerable targets but the collateral damage will be huge. A woman with PCOS who has some facial hair will be accused and harassed for example. The atmosphere of policing this will embolden in Karen’s the length and breadth of the country is what every single one of us should be scared of because they’re not gonna stop now that they’ve made the lives of 0,5m trans people immeasurably more difficult.

2025 European Tour
I don’t get how people 25 years later haven’t understood that if you want good vocals you go to the Sugababes if you want a performance and a show you go to the f***ing west end They’ve never been known for big flashy dance routines and showy numbers. That’s just not who they are

RSD 2025 - Taller In More Ways
That’s not a bad turn out! I’ll take that I’m not a huge fan of the pink vinyl itself coz that wasn’t a TIMW era colour but I fully agree the gold embossed logo is so well done

Your favourite songs performed by a minor(s)
The correct answer here is: Pick anything from the One Touch era of the Sugababes Overload will be 25 in September, and Mutya turns 40 this May. They were 14/15 when they not only sung but also wrote this. Like imagine writing this masterpiece at just 15: Beyond words
