Consuming a glass of wine in a garden is neither here not there on its own. Reminds me of a teacher invigilating an exam. Calls for silence - papers started. Then another teacher comes in and the two start a discussion - initially quiet, but getting louder and more intrusive. Eventually the...

Via Judge John Deed - and back. Perfectly pleasant voice but he simply seems unable to keep to the same accent. Even within a sentence.

I know - but it changes about three times in every sentence!

But Martin Shaw's accent(s) are a riot!

Even HoL is appearing less than impressed: Lords standards commissioner launches inquiry into Michelle Mone Investigation into Tory peer relates to PPE company awarded £203m in government contracts via ‘VIP lane’ Mind, a few more donors given ermine would sort that out...

End to end encryption means sending data/messages in an encrypted form such that no-one in the middle can access them. The government don't like it because it is a problem even for police and GCHQ. Thus, any child exploitation messages can't be identified and acted on. Indeed, even proof of...

And all of them ignoring: Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe

Rename it Operation Dead Meat to express contempt of it. Or Operation Mincemeat where they took a dead person and used it to fool people. And the whips stationed near Brady’s office so they observe who delivers envelopes.

Maybe OG needs to come in here? After all, Philip Larkin neatly summed up parents' contribution to our development and upbringing.

Now BBC Licence fee confirmed abolition in 2027.

Sunday Times report: Boris Johnson prepares mass clearout to save own skin PM’s fury at Downing Street staff as he launches string of ‘red meat’ policies Boris Johnson is planning a mass clearout of No 10 and a series of populist announcements to save his tottering premiership. Despite...
