Daily Star readers have their say on the week's biggest stories, from the tragic deaths of two police officers in Cleveland to Andy Burnham's homelessness pledge and the latest football finance figures.
Police Crash Reaction
Readers expressed strong emotions about the fatal crash involving two police officers and a stolen car. One reader, Anon, said: "These media sites, that broadcast suicidal driving 4 entertainment, should b charged with corporate manslaughter."
Pomfretian commented: "To the families of 2 police fast response officers killed in the execution of thier duty, to the families & friends & collegues, my comiserations &condolences." Another reader, Laurence, added: "i feel sorry for the 2 police officers who died in the cleveland crash & their families but NOT the 5 who died in the stolen car."
One reader linked the incident to wider societal issues: "make no mistake tha sad loss of 2 police officers killed by brainless idiots is a direct consequence of the deteriorating law and order in this country governments of all persuasions for me are guilty of their deaths by betrayal to the British people."
Andy Burnham's Homelessness Plan
Readers also weighed in on the Prime Minister's commitment to tackle homelessness. Jessica Goetia Brooking praised the move: "The fact that Andy Burnham is giving fifteen per cent of his salary to homeless charities and has a history of doing the same when Mayor of Greater Manchester shows real commitment."
However, Big Les was sceptical: "Where is Mr Burnham going to place the homeless? At empty 10 Downing Street? Or empty Reading prison? A couple of suggestions!"
Another reader, Ferret, questioned MPs' understanding of the cost of living: "Whot do MPs know about the cost of living? They have only got to fart and they calm for it."
Football and Cricket
Football finance was a hot topic. Geoff from Newcastle noted the "New Squad Cost Ratio rules" and cited club debts: "Chelsea £1.39B, Man under £1.3B, Tottenham £831.2m, Arsenal £358.3M, Liverpool £339.3m, Man City £328m – maybe the Premier League should look into clubs reducing debts before spending?"
THFC BIFFO reacted to a manager's comments: "I heared what RDZ Said after the Spurs v Brentford game. Well i know this is hard to believe but i reckon he Talks more B......s than Me!"
On cricket, Brian Linford from Pontefract commented: "Yet another cricketer in a night club incident Brydon Carse England bowler under investigation by ECB. Not since the days of George Best awol and nightclubs was I ever a cricket fan I AM NOW."
Entertainment and More
Readers also shared lighter views. Mad scaf said of The Voice: "The new series of the voice is a fix and a complete joke. The best female singer was from south Wales hands down, and the five so called judges should hang their heads in shame."
Andy Rimmer from Preston offered the joke of the day: "Me and the missus rerunning one of our greatest hits arguments, 'What are you really harbouring?' 'Dunno... It's probably a container base by now!'"
