One of my best friends has passed away
at 22:43 5 Jun 2020

30 years old. No idea what's happened.

Feel kinda numb. Not even sure why I'm posting this.

How's everyone else's evening?

I did not realise there had been loads of those Government debunking blogs
at 10:07 19 May 2020

I remember the one about the Sunday Times story that blew up, but didn't realise they have actually been doing this about quite a few stories, even from regional papers.

Not really too sure how I feel about it.

Anyone got any stupid panic buying stories then?

My sister told me last night a friend of hers called her in tears.

Went to a bunch of shops, couldn't find baby milk. Finally saw one but just as she got there an old couple picked it up.

She asked whether that was for a child, and they said it wasn't, but they wanted to make sure they had some milk for their tea.

They refused to let her have it.

Congratulations to the Conservatives.

I really do hope with their strong majority they prove me wrong and actually improve the country after a decade of austerity.

Oh and sort out Brexit properly. No excuses this time.

Anyone else watched The Great Hack yet?

Interesting stuff, especially the parts that relate to our own electoral practices.

What do we think the likelihood is in getting laws changed around here to deal with the modern age? Apparently there was going to be something coming at the end of the year but who knows anymore with an almost entirely new cabinet.

And of course the targeted adverts have already started:

So the Mark Field incident then...
at 07:23 21 Jun 2019

In this longer version of the video, you can see the woman apparently posing no immediate threat as she passes behind Mark Field. He marches her out of the room by her neck. I wasn’t there, so I can’t say she didn’t pose a risk, but it looks heavy handed. pic.twitter.com/zX2BtcPW4t

Posted the longer video for context.

His explanation is that he thought she might be armed.

Can't say that he looks very scared, looks more angry than anything and then takes it out on her. Not a good look.
