There are a couple of sentences in there which are fascinating, possibly inadvertently.

I may write in this case again.

I have no particular ire for Mone, and she is right that others were also culpable If she is.

Ah yes, but Farage claims it failed because "it wasn't done the right way".
Can't help thinking though, if it had been done *his* way, it would probably have been an even bigger disaster.

Indictable offence, so option for Trial- Crown Court jury - Acquittals. Total farce, so won't even reach that stage. Nailed on.

Really like that. Very Brizzle!

Yet they seem intent on selling it as the magic bullet which will curb illegal immigration and stop illegals working in the black economy. There is no basis on which an ID system could by definition be effective in that area. (2/2

The Govt's messaging is inept. We're in the digital age, like it or not. A single form of digital identity which allows us to interact with central and local Govt, utilities, banks, insurers etc is to my mind welcome. That's the selling point. (1/2)

Lisa Nandy did a very poor job of selling the proposed digital ID. What I got from her interview was it was mainly an illegal immigration control device with maybe peripheral advantages for the 99% of the rest of us.

Unfortunately, it will also feed the delusions of the hard of understanding in this country and beyond.

Had to be a straight lift from Murdoch's trashy New York Post - and sure enough, the author ". In 1998, he moved his column to the New York Post, where he remains today..". On-line commenters have derided the article.

Before WFH was a thing I would (attempt to) have an occasional workday at home. Then I'd see cobwebs needing, cracks to be filled, paintwork to be cleaned. It was hopeless.

Shoot the messenger. It's the American way.

Windsor Castle Trump protest. I think arresting the Led By Donkeys crew using the Malicious Communications Act is a bit of a stretch, but it is an offence "triable either way", so the arrested, if charged, could opt for Jury Trial, where Prosecution won't stand a chance. My guess? - NFA.

Several people fired after clampdown on speech over Charlie Kirk shooting Teachers, firefighters and military personnel among those who lost jobs after posting their opinion on social media

There is a deep sickness in the MAGA cult. These are the very people claiming the UK suppresses free speech.

Crowd control is going to be a massive problem during Trump's visit. By that I mean, keeping Trump well away from anything resembling a crowd.

Firing v resignation was the "political" option. Makes Starmer look decisive (he thinks).

I'm ready. We need a bit more vision; something to believe in. Who needs a steady hand on the tiller when you've remained firmly tied up to the jetty.

Could have been published today.

Yes, saw it. Written just after he'd asked, "Who's Charlie Kirk?"

Martin Luther King Jr. paid the bill for Julia Roberts' birth. Here's the backstory As fans marked Julia Roberts' birthday last week, they also uncovered a connection between her family and that of the civil rights icon. It all started when her parents opened an acting school.

I was today old when I stumbled upon this fascinating, humbling and uplifting story.

Bot - Blocked.

Not now, not in my lifetime, but, inevitably, Netanyahu is sowing the seeds of the destruction of Israel.

In a word - No.

I see an "I am Spartacus" moment coming.

.... which would still leave questions regarding Starmer's judgment.

This puts Starmer in a completely "no win" situation. He will be damned for leaving Mandelson in post; or condemned for presuming his guilt by removing him. The only 'good' outcome is Mandelson's resignation.

You can only have one Queen in the hive.

I'd urge HMRC to see where the money came from for the Clacton house purchase. If it came directly from Farage or one of his companies, then putting it in the name of his mistress would clearly only be a device to avoid(evade) Stamp Duty.

100% agree. Lots of gold braid, new made-up medal awards bestowed by Congress. Russian-style military cap. New title to go with it - "President for Life".
The majority would settle for a shroud.
