Also surprised, although I have not read the whole thread through, at the lack of involvement by caught-in-limbo on the climate action fifteen pager started by BlueLagos. |

Thread | Anyone get caught by the porn blackmailer?
at 14:00 9 Apr 2019
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47800378
I had an ominous email in one of my inboxes a week or so ago threatening to send copies of the porn I had been looking at to all my contacts unless I paid $978 or something, thing is I don't look at porn (I know that is what someone who feels guilty about looking at porn would say and when I told one of my girlfriends about this she reckoned I must be the only one but I honestly don't look at internet porn...unless TWTD counts as some type of masochistic perversion). Doubt if it was this guy as he would have a trial upcoming but have I led a sheltered online life and this goes on all the time or is this relatively rare? |

Thread | Leave and fake news
at 10:08 1 Apr 2019
Sad git that I am I was trawling the net for information on this afternoon's debate on the big petition (you know, the one suggesting revocation of Article 50 and staying in the EU that over six million have signed now) when I came across this snippet scheduled for Wednesday:
'Then comes a relative rarity, a privilege motion to censure Dominic Cummings, the mastermind of the Leave referendum campaign, for refusing to give evidence to the Culture Media and Sport Select Committee inquiry into fake news.'

This afternoon's debate kicks off at 16:30 and is in Westminster Hall, not the main chamber, furthermore the big petition has been bundled in with two others (one for a second referendum and one to uphold the 2016 referendum) but it is all debate and no action anyway. However, it is being led by Catherine McKinnell, Labour MP for Newcastle North, who resigned from Corbyn's shadow cabinet even though she had the job of Shadow Attorney General and seems to be someone who follows up her principles:

Thread | Another reason why Brexit is us losing control

I am not sure that the 'loss of face' attitude of this article is correct (some might say the loss of face happened in June 2016 but I reckon the ordinary European has more breadth to their opinion if talked to reasonably) but it is worth reflecting that our future is now more in the hands of the EU than it has ever been:

Interesting that the Beeb have not put the view from Spain in there. |
