Sentient roast potato Mike Graham claims he was hacked after a racist post appeared on his Facebook page. Seems like someone might have had one too many before getting the train home.

I wouldn’t necessarily assume they are American. Looking at their bio says they were born in the UK and now live in Florida. So that’s mostly British education to blame, I think, plus American media for dessert.

Imagine if the media covered the housing crisis, which has been happening for over 10 years, the way it covers the so called ‘migration crisis’.

I asked the Metropolitan Police how many reports of stalking they had received in the past 6 years and how many had led to convictions. About 8-9% of reports of stalking have led to convictions over this period. You can see the FoI request and response here: www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/stal...
