The Real Mo Farah

Programme on BBC1 at 21:00 tonight. I must say I'm surprised, given the heated discussions about "illegal immigrants" that take place on AB, that his admitting to being trafficked to the UK as a child...

Poll Suggestion

How about having a poll for how many 'strikes' (questions/answers removed) an AB member is allowed before they are 'out' (banned, and I mean permanently - no creeping to the Eds)? 'Obvious' spammers...
