“Everyone involved pretends they had absolutely no idea.” Ian Hislop, Private Eye’s editor, appeared on Tonight with Andrew Marr to discuss the Epstein files, and the cover the Eye ran in reference to the paedophile sex trafficker all the way back in 2011.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Breaking news: Kettle has strong thoughts about blackness of pot

A lot going on here and all ugly, but one thing I still can't get my head around is how any British government can do business with Thiel at this point.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

FFS. This guy is an absolute twunt. Need Wilcox to lay into him and put some pressure on. Carrick, as head coach and not manager, should focus on the football and this bellend needs to be put in his place. Why he's allowed to ref our games is beyond me.

Politicians should not be treated like toddlers. A time out on the naughty step before being welcomed back is not an effective deterrent for adults who've deliberately or recklessly engaged in ethical wrongdoing. It's an encouragement for more violations - as demonstrated by Mandelson's career.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

Presumably we knew about him when at Leganes...but why shop from them and loan him out to develop, when you can let him join a RB group team for 10 months and buy him at 5 times the price.

Helafu is superb

Pep Guardiola speaking on Palestine, Sudan, Ukraine: But someone who sees the images happening all around the world, and they don't affect?! It's not a question about right or wrong.

Wes Streeting saying on Today that Mandelson is ‘not the man we thought he was’ but the trouble is, he is exactly the man we thought, just on a much worse scale than almost anyone thought. And there is an alternative world where none of this is this govt’s problem, because they never gave him a job

The Set Piece Revolution The game is changing in the English Premier League.

I'm watching Arsenal-Chelsea and for some reason I thought people might be interested in a newsletter about how the set piece revolution in the Premier League has led to fewer open play goals and tons of six-yard-box shoving www.expectinggoals.com/p/the-set-pi...

This is excellent.

I think clocks on setpieces would make a difference (because it would be more physically demanding to send the centre backs up if you had 8 seconds to take a throw-in) but so would actually applying the existing rules and not resetting the "grammar" of throws 40 yards from goal.
