YoungWillz 21,032 Posted August 7, 2018 99.9% of the obits from the Mail are not published in the Mail. They do appear online. No difference with the Independent now imo. However, we live with the rules, our picks die by the rules. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted August 30, 2018 Vernon Vanriel, a turn-of-the-70s lightweight who retired with a 22-10-3 record, wouldn't normally be on any radars. However, he's been caught up in the Windrush Generation farrago, and has been living in poverty for 13 years. Boxing figures are trying to get him back to the UK, but even that might be troublesome as he has unspecified "severe illnesses". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
