kirk got shot in the middle of the day and the cops don’t even know who they’re looking for. maybe putting podcasters in charge of federal law enforcement wasn’t the best idea for solving crimes

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,
"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"
"Aside from presenting Match of the Day.."
"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

When I was at Anglia TV about 25 yrs ago, a girl in our office sent out a team email that said, “It’s been a crap Monday, who wants to come to my flat for a smoke?” Sadly she sent it to everyone in ITV. Melvyn was one of the first to reply with “That sounds lovely but sadly I’m filming in Newcastle”
Melvyn Bragg has decided to stand down as host of In Our Time, the BBC says.

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.

Robert Jenrick, the Tory Shadow Justice Secretary and former Home Office Minister, joining protesters outside an asylum hotel is one of the most disgusting acts by a frontline British politician in living memory.

2 thoughts on the Isak thing; a) never thought he’d be a reverse Jamie Tartt - from team player to head up his own arse and b) he’s not worth £150m lets face it but if you want to take our core striker in the last few weeks before the start of the season & we have to rebuild our attack-

I’ve been single for most of my life; am I going around demanding love from people? No, I’m finding it in myself, in my friends, in my family & all the other places you can seek love that isn’t romantic or sexual. I’d love a partner but I’m content without. These ‘men’ need to get a grip.

I once heard Eric Adams described as "trying to win every interaction on a moment to moment level, leaving the overall experience incoherent and him coming off worse" and I sometimes wonder if that's not a good description of Starmer's government.

These problems require considered, intelligent solutions.
Any “tough on crime” policy which does not have this as its centrepiece is a distraction.
A con.
Don’t let con artists and hatemongers distract from the real issues.

There are significant problems with the way that sexual violence is dealt with in the criminal justice system.
There is chronic underreporting.
Investigations take years.
The court backlog means several more years before a trial.
Complainants give up.
Prosecutions collapse.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.
The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.
Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:
Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”
Evidence is growing that some HIV-infected infants, if given antiretroviral drugs early in life, are able to suppress their viral loads to undetectable levels and then come off the medicine. www.wired.com/story/the-fi...
