Nick Cohen's article about the shamelessness of Zack Polanski

This might surprise people who aren't from the UK, but over here there's a publication that, in order to write for it, you have to be a sex offender.

I RECENTLY WOKE up sneezing like mad, with a terrible headache, aching limbs and feeling really hot. I thought I was coming down with the flu, but then I remembered I work in a pepper grinding plant and I'd just fallen down a flight of forty steps and landed in the boiler room.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

B @BFthoughts • 1 hour ago In this video, it seems obvious why an officer could fear she was going to run into him with her vehicle. Wow! I hadn't seen this angle. He had a reason to feel threatened. It is done. :

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet.

a tweet retweeted by graham linhan showing a romance novel mock up image showing a woman in a car looking with desire at an ice agent with the caption "detained by desire". Tweet text reads "What’s unfolding in Minnesota is a psychosexual drama where bored moms are begging big strong men to throw them around."

"Protecting women & girls"

Does lukewarm refer to your IQ

Sick and tired of my bourbon getting cancelled

"average person knows 3 sex offenders" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person knows 0 sex offenders. Journalism Georg, who lives in cave & is pals with 10,000 sex offenders and enjoys their dinner parties and their funny anecdotes, is an outlier adn should not have been counted"

This but

Christ if you didn't read anything else you'd be forgiven for thinking that the vast majority of her claims weren't thrown out, including ALL of those against Upton

Sandie Peggie: I can't really think of an example of anything else recently where the media has so misrepresented what actually happened? It's not "clever" language, it's not even what happened with Israel. It's just incorrect.

Like it does feel like a bit of an escalation.

Radio 4 and BBC and Channel 4 News and all the papers completely skewing the Peggie story so your average person will have no idea what actually happened. Doesn’t this make you furious? Integrity in journalism is dead, not just in the US

Yer ma thinks biscuits are gendered

Well would you look at that

I learned last week she'd been granted anonymity but a very high profile GC (uncertain whom atm) named her then named her again adding "Whoops". In a Scottish criminal case that would bring perjury action and jail - per attempted prosecution witness revelation in #Salmond trial. [9 months]

"ONE for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl and four for a boy, 99 " the adage about magpies goes. Well I spotted a single magpie in my garden last week and this morning I woke up to find I'd shit the bed. So maybe there is something to these old superstitions after all. Gary Ireland, Tauranga

Sorry folks we're not allowed talk about politics in our respective countries because america is in bits or something

I WAS in Lyme Regis recently and there was a sign that read Do Not Feed Me', accompanied by a photo of a scrawny seagull. That's all well and good, but there were literally thousands of the fuckers flying about, and they all looked the same. How was I meant to know which was the one in the photo?

THESE beekeepers are hypocrites. They're always banging on about how we must save the bees because they're so important, and then they go and open up a hive, create a smoke screen and steal all their food. It's an odd way of caring if you ask me. Irene Fisticuffs, Spitoon

Recognized the woman in the photo instantly. She once had to hear her mother talk on camera abt driving them both off of George Washington Bridge. That talk—abt taking yr child’s life& yours—was in a video made by autism org that worked to demonize autistic ppl. Ghorayshi is a straight line from it

Nature is healing

I note here that the police raided Nicola Sturgeon’s house live on national television because they thought her husband had spent party donations on a camper van

I am unsure why the whole country hasn't stopped for this. Is it not terrorism? It was intended to create fear amongst marginalised communities.

The perpetrators, one of whom has been arrested, told the woman during the attack: "You don't belong in this country, get out."

Glenn Beck’s media outlet The Blaze just gave an interview last month to the person who killed the politicians in Minnesota

On Fox News, the anchor Will Cain choked up on-air as he read aloud President Trump's announcement of the death of Charlie Kirk. "I don't know where we go from here as a news program," Mr. Cain told viewers, "and I don't know where we go from here in America." Megyn Kelly, streaming live on YouTube, was tearful even before the news was confirmed, sobbing with her guest, Glenn Beck of The Blaze. She described Mr. Kirk as a friend who supported her even when her relations with the MAGA world were strained. "I am so sorry to be bringing you this news," Ms. Kelly told her audience. Later

They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.
