A white British father and son BOTH raped the same child and pled guilty to multiple counts of Sexual assault.
This has been in the press for 2 days.
The Mirror is the only National newspaper to report on it…
And THAT’s why people have such a skewed perception of the links between race and SA🤷🏼♀️

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.
After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Again – we need much more access to Gaza to save lives at scale. Release of hostages and arbitrarily detained. A ceasefire. This horror can be stopped.

A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge application backlog that the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly ***on purpose*** as a deterrent.

We are sad to report that longtime Blue Peter Editor Biddy Baxter has died at the age of 92. We salute a true pioneer, who navigated changing times in the television industry with instinct, tenacity and style.

‘Waffle’ the noun and ‘waffle’ the verb are not etymologically related.
The noun is related to the Old English ‘wefan,’ which means “to weave.”
The verb is related to the English ‘woff,’ which means “to yelp.”
FWIW: we never waffle on eating waffles.
