The BBC has taken down their live feed and the contemporaneous summary notes for today. Unusual. Their lawyers might think there is a lot of incriminating stuff that will have to wait for the criminal prosecutions.

Lost Seasider, you are being overly charitable to these PO executive wrong’uns, imho. Why?

Mmmm, all that Jason Beer has shown van den Bogerd so far appears to be emails she had received, not emails she had sent. I do hope those are in his evidence folder for tomorrow.

No, it was not the government servers that lost emails or had deleted data in the Covid days. It was the fact that ministers were using WhatsApp for short, rapid communications which is end-to-end encrypted to a high complexity. So there are no data storage servers as such, just phone storage...

The Irishman has never put anybody but himself first.

To me, it seems highly ironic that the reason given for not allowing the SuperCasino to be built in Blackpool by Gordon Brown (Son of the Manse) was that it would encourage organised crime, widespread low-level criminality and social decadence. And the casino owners did prefer a large city such...

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/ryanair-michael-o-leary-happily-fly-asylum-rwanda-b2534121.html Is this Michael O’Leary’s “Ratner” moment? Probably not, since he’s had a fair number of those over the years and got away with them.

She was a bit too generous to Sunak by calling him a “pint-sized loser”. More like “half-pint”.

St. George and the Dragon, c. 1490, 2.28 x 3.5 metres, painted and gilded oak, hair, antler, leather, rope, metal, stone, and gems, Storkyrkan Stockholm, Sweden. The most magnificent depiction of St George ever made. Remarkable...

The Farmers Arms in Muker, a Theakston’s pub in Swaledale, at Easter in 1975. And my first taste of Old Peculier. It was on a four-day hiking/camping trip up a 60-odd mile section of the Pennine Way.

Poor thing. You’ll get over it.

Yep.

Oh, sorry. You are a qualified libel lawyer as well? Perhaps a High Court judge? Then repost it.

The mods might well be a “bunch of lefties”. But that does not negate the point I made. Try debating it?

Why should there be a “something”? People have a hard time in understanding concepts of physics such as... In the beginning, before the singularity that caused the Big Bang which created the Universe there was... nothing at all. Due to that event, the universe is expanding at the speed of...

I don’t blame them. If you posted something contentious about your view on “crimes” that might prove libellous then the website publisher of AVFTT would be in the firing line as well.

The Met’s Commissioner Rowley has been showing that the police operate independently from government decisions/opinions which has got up Sunak’s nose and others. Especially with regard to the Met’s refusal to ban any protest marches because he said that would have been simply illegal for...

Attwell, the VAR in the studio, himself CHOSE not to get involved with the ref. The first time was poor judgement, the second compounded it but the third as well? Did Forest antagonise him by calling his integrity into question before the match? There are several unknown factors operative in...

If the lines overlap, that’s supposed to be considered as “level”.
