Serious Fraud Office The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) fights complex financial crime, delivers justice for victims and protects the UK’s reputation as a safe place to do business. SFO is a non-ministerial department.

Authors affected by the collapse of both Unbound and Boundless publishing should make a report to the Serious Fraud Office. A forensic accountant needs to trawl through everything.

A wasteland of rubble, dust and graves: how Gaza looks from the sky The Guardian joins a Jordanian military airdrop for a rare chance to observe a landscape devastated by Israel’s offensive

Palestine reshaped as Amalek. Exactly as they said it would be.

Aided, abetted and excused by Western governments while the vast majority of 8 billion humans shrugged in indifferent Holocaust denial.

An indelible stain on humanity. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Happy and honored. Loved this book so much and getting to breathe Desi voices into the text including ones reflecting my Parsi side meant the world.

Flawless. Peerless. Timeless. #Fantastic4FirstSteps was everything the 10-year-old Marvel fan inside me could have wished for, and more. Can’t wait to see it again to appreciate (again) the fantastic costumes, production design, music… and a truly terrifying Galactus. #FantasticFour

People calling for peace, who wish no harm on anyone, risk arrest under the Terrorism Act, while the state terrorists perpetrating genocide are being protected from our free speech.

Current mood:

“Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”

Sublime to see Barry Lyndon on the big screen at Stanley Kubrick’s local cinema The Odyssey, with @kk53.bsky.social and Jan Harlan (among others) in the audience.
