I knew what the music was going to be before I played that.

He's got that weird psycho tech-bro vibe that would warn me off letting him anywhere near patient data.

Govt is very happy to throw millions around when attempting to prop up bad laws challenged in court though.

The police had done nothing for six months, even though this was a terrorism matter, and then rushed through a charge without the requisite decision from the attorney general. There was then an attempt to reissue the charge even though they knew it was a day late. And the CPS, rather than accepting defeat at first instance, devoted time and resources to an appeal, even though the applicable law was long settled. Terrorism law should be taken seriously. It is a special body of law in respect of dealing with particular threats. But the case of Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh shows two things. It shows the lack of seriousness with which the police take terrorism legislation, and it shows the utter seriousness of the CPS in trying to protect itself.

What the botched prosecution of Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh says about the police and CPS

A series of unforced errors show that terrorism law is not taken seriously by those who should be enforcing it

U.S. Air Force B-1 And B-52 Bombers Now Striking Iran From The UK The U.S. Air Force now operates three distinct bomber aircraft, all of which can trace their development back to the Cold War.

Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it.

When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war?

I am delighted that the High Court has ruled in my favour on the key issues in the libel case brought by Raffi Berg.

The court rejected the claimant’s interpretation of the article and ruled that it expressed an opinion based on stated material.

Pre-emptive self-defence against an anticipated threat.

A new report shows hitting our climate targets by 2050 costs less than one oil shock costs the UK.

We need a rapid transition to clean energy to shield people & the economy from price spikes every time oil prices jump.

Some commentators still can’t connect those dots…

Cheshire van driver cleared of dangerous driving after four-year-old's death Four-year-old Esmé Rose Weir was run over as she rode her scooter along the pavement to pre-school.

In the news today, a cyclist on the pavement who killed a man is charged with manslaughter.

By contrast, here's a van driver who killed a little girl. He was driving on the pavement: common, and illegal. Killed her. Only charged with dangerous driving. Fully let off.

Didn't anyone tell Badenoch that you should never point a weapon at anyone (other than obviously in combat)? Cadets get taught this day one.

Be prepared for the old echoes...
It's once in a generation, it's not the right time, it's a "voluntary" union, you can't break up the UK, you'll lose your pensions, you can't have the pound, we'll not let you into Europe... Oops too late 🤔😊😉😂🤣😂

Dear people who voted NO in the Scottish Independence Ref.

We could have been in the EU by now.

More poignant after we were lied to & those of you who voted no because you were frighted into voting against Scottish Independence because of lies

Good on Franz Ferdinand for speaking out.

Expats fleeing Dubai abandon their pets in rush to leave war-hit Gulf state Some animals are even being euthanised, according to reports

I suppose we already knew that the tax-dodging UK economic migrants in Dubai (like Richard Tice and Isabel Oakeshott) were selfish bastards - but now as they flee war, they're killing their dogs, sheesh.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

I don't think that's a genuine picture of the actual damage, can you try again with the real picture?

That was my reaction too. Who allows a vape shop to operate anywhere other than single-storey? New laws incoming quickly I hope.

Independence is normal. What we have just now, a country next door running us, that's the odd thing!

I hope this gets the same outraged coverage as that female Jewish MP faking a police escort to Conference.

Graham Eardley, the Reform councillor suspended for behaving aggressively towards a female volunteer, has defected to Restore Britain, no doubt attracted by Rupert Lowe having been accused of bullying two female members of staff.

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

Who voted for this?

Water companies dump sewage in rivers. Execs get bonuses for destructive practices. Shareholders got £85.2bn in dividends.

6.17m people in England await 7.29m hospital appointments. 300,000 a year die prematurely.

Policies made to appease corporations and super rich.

Please explain.

Every accusation is a confession...

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
