Last Friday we unveiled our 22nd Purple Plaque: for swimmer Irene Steer, the first Welsh woman to win an Olympic gold medal (1912, Stockholm). It would be another 96 years before the next one (Nicole Cooke, 2008). www.bbc.co.uk/news/article....

Had a look at the poison on X that Musk seems free to spout about serious politicians including Jess Phillips, the PM, Gordon Brown and others. Do they have a case for defamation @dbanksy.bsky.social ?
