Britain had about 30 million hedgehogs in the 1950s; we've got under 875,000 today. The population has dropped by about 97%. Shocking.

United have friends. Surely there's charges that can be laid against Como. They look dodgy to me. Sponsored by Revolut too. It's not right. We've got so many journalists on the payroll - they need to start earning. – at Urmston, England
