Cooking in a Kettle
@cookinginakettle.bsky.social
A former prisoner, I cooked in a kettle when I did time.

I love my family, Arsenal FC, and 90s/early 00s hip hop. I hate racists, The Scum newspaper, and Totnum Hotspurs.

Indian/Kenyan origin, but born and bred in East London.

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

He's openly corrupt. That's the best thing you can say about him. He doesn't hide beneath a veneer of respectability. The most honest of thieves, I guess.

If a Democratic president had done something like this, Fox and the GOP would have turned Adriana Camberos into a household name à la Willie Horton or, yes, Hunter Biden.

I'm thoroughly disappointed by this powder puff story run by BBC Sport. They make no mention of the charges that City face, and there is no link between the financial doping that enabled them to buy players for big amounts, and then sell them for significant fees.

Every Arsenal corner I see Cucurella with his arms around one of our players. Is the ref actually going to do anything about it?!

Wes Streeting had a meeting with my then 6 year old son saying that he would ensure more crossings would be in place near his school. My son is now 7, and in his own words, said that the meeting with Wes was a "waste of time," because "there are no new crossings."

Wes loves excuses.
Wes Streeting uses a speech on public service reform at the IfG this morning to take on those on his own side - including some close to Keir Starmer - who argue that Whitehall is a block to reform.

“Bafflingly, some on my own side of the political divide have begun to parrot the same argument…

Growing up, Sperz were always "the FA Cup team." And now, no FA Cup for 35 years. Embarrassing.

A frustrating match for a variety of reasons. Is there a mental block against Liverpool after the defeat there? They came to frustrate, and did it very well. I thought we were good when the rain was pelting down - would have liked more shots from distance given the conditions. #coyg #arsenal

Two sad bits of football news:

1. Kevin Keegan diagnosed with cancer. I would love it if he beat it!

2. Martin Chivers passing away. He might have played for that lot up the road but he was held in high esteem.

Puts things into perspective.

4. The DOJ is not only pretending the files have not been reviewed but is acting like the files haven't even been identified. Every few days, more files are "discovered" that require review.

2. In an unsigned July 7 memo, the DOJ said the review of the Epstein files was complete.

The DOJ described it as an "exhaustive review" which involved "teams of agents, analysts, attorneys, and privacy and civil liberties experts"

Now the DOJ is pretending this review never happened

Most absconds from Cat D fall into two categories:

1. Drug debts
2. Institutionalisation that leads to a fear of being released (commonly impacting lifers).
