In the news

Her lack of remorse & the judge's summing up weren't on the reports earlier either I note.

No mention of that on the ITV news this evening either

Bets on how long this mutant gets sentenced to?

Couple of weeks and slap on the wrist. WAC.

Johnson says nah
Starmer hires Grey
State of our political lol

Can you imagine negotiations between those arseholes?

VERDICT:
7/10
Amusing reference to another cycling website, lacking punctuation.

This is so infinitely sad:

It's horrible, and there will be a steady drip, drip of sensationalist stories about strange and awful saga of the black American rapist and the misled English rose. It'll sell a lot of papers and inevitable TV dramatisations and that baby will still be dead.

Sadly, I think you've summed it up.
RIP, Baby.

Stuff like this doesn't just happen without both of these people having deeply rooted issues, and sadly an innocent baby got brought into it and lost its life. Kid didn't deserve that.

He’s British, as far as I understand.

That aside, I think you’re quite right in your summation. I have wondered, as I’ve read the stories, why so much needs to be made of the fact she’s from Aristocratic stock. Is that relevant to the fact she (and he) must be deeply troubled individuals?

"The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan"

Odd that this story isn't getting much coverage or commentary.

Possibly because the FBI isn't famous for their expertise in either virology or epidemiology, and different bits of the US government backing different theories probably has more to do with domestic politics than it does with SARS-COV-2.

Gotcha. I've not seen much of the reporting tbh, but unfortunately I can imagine.

I did try to find the judge's summing up as I find that's often the best way to get the info, but Peterborough Crown Court's website defeated me unfortunately.

They allegedly had 3 kids or something taken away from them already and went on the run when she was about to give birth to this one.

The corporate interests don't like that

Epic wtf.

Cabinet ministers have been warned by senior civil servants that they face court action because of their catastrophic failure to develop policies for tackling climate change, according to secret documents obtained by the Observer.

The leaked briefings from senior mandarins – marked “official sensitive” and dated 20 February this year – make clear the government as a whole is way behind in spelling out how it will reach its net zero targets and comply with legal duties to save the planet.

The restricted, highly sensitive documents are another severe embarrassment for Rishi Sunak, who originally planned to stay away from last November’s Cop27 climate summit in Egypt, but was shamed into attending after his predecessor but one, Boris Johnson, announced he was going.

Sunak then declared that acting to cut carbon emissions was a moral duty “because if we do not act today, we will risk leaving an ever more desperate inheritance for our children”.

This the same Sunak who was bashing Starmer at PMQ's this week for not supporting more oil and gas licenses in the north sea?

Tony Danker resigns from the CBI due to sexual misconduct. That'll teach him to beat me up when we were at school.

He underestimated the power of a Good Grudge ;)

It's had plenty of coverage. We don't need to be manufacturing conspiracies of our own, here. There's no shortage.
