In 2005 Rod Liddle was arrested and accepted a caution for assaulting his pregnant girlfriend. He continues to have a career in journalism because the British press is fine with violent misogynists.
Reminder that Rob Liddle said he couldn't be a teacher because he would try to rape the kids

Rod Liddle
At the height of the madness, from which I think we are now in merciful and terminal retreat, a Scottish schoolboy announced that he identified as a wolf and was apparently indulged in this fantasy by his teachers. There was a confusion here — a kind of ideologyversus-reality disconnect, as so often happens with lifestyle-left intersectional idiocies.
If the teachers had truly believed the child was a wolf he would have been separated from the rest of the pupils by extremely robust metal fencing and thrown chunks of raw bison every few hours. Of course the school did not do that, meaning that in truth, and contrary to the approved narrative, it did not really think he was a wolf.
At the same time reports surfaced of other British schools where kids were identifying as a multitude of creatures, real and imagined, such as cats, horses, dinosaurs and dragons. One assumes that in each case the schools responded similarly, by pretending to respect these expressions of the fictional condition “species dysphoria” but in reality not believing it for a minute.

The new ETA guide around cross border travel on the island of Ireland is an unhelpful combination of "it's needed for non UK/Ireland citizens" and "we don't check (so don't sweat it?)". Don't be misled by this - in country checks can happen - and for foreign nationals an ETA will thus be needed:

Palantir needs to keep its grubby hands off our NHS.
The NHS is the best thing about this country.
Anyone who plans on ripping it up and handing over the shreds to the highest bidder has no place anywhere near politics.
And that’s before you even begin to consider any of this Epstein stuff.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.
Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.
