It’s even more scary to realise that these people were previously hidden. Ow they are in plain sight at least there is a clever idea of the scale a d extent of the problem.

People who are treating @CountBinface like a ‘joke’ candidate should remember that an ice cream shop in Southend (just around the coast from Clacton) has already adopted one of his policies with great success …

If there was an actual country called Haa Land, it'd be full of love, laughter, kindness, equality & we'd all move there immediately. Boys, forget the vicious, malicious, teeny-penied Andrew Tate - THIS is your role model. #Haaland #WorldCup

A los 30 años, borracho y sin trabajo, me senté en el borde de la cama y pensé: "Anthony, no puedes seguir así". Había llegado a Londres desde Gales con un sueño: ser actor. Pero el sueño se convirtió en pesadilla. El alcohol me controlaba. Perdía papeles, mi mujer me dejó, mis amigos me abandonaron. Pasaba los días en bares oscuros y las noches en camerinos vacíos. Una noche, en 1967, entré en una reunión de Alcohólicos Anónimos. Tenía miedo. No del alcohol, sino de mí mismo. De la debilidad que sentía al pedir ayuda. No bebí un solo trago en 57 años. Después llegó la sobriedad. Y con ella, el trabajo. "El hombre elefante", "Los restos del día", "El Silencio de los Corderos... un Oscar y muchos premios. Una carrera que todavía hoy continúa. Pero la fama no curó las heridas. Tuve que aprender a vivir conmigo mismo a aceptar mi pasado y a perdonarme. Hace unos años, durante la pandemia, grabé un video que se hizo viral. Hablaba de no rendirse. Hablaba de la vejez, de la soledad, del valor de seguir adelante. No lo hice por fama. Lo hice porque aquel chico de 30 años necesitaba oír esas palabras. Si hoy te sientes perdido, si el alcohol o cualquier otra droga te está destruyendo, pide ayuda. Yo lo hice. Y aquí estoy, medio siglo después, sobrio y contándotelo. No hay vergüenza en caer. La hay en no levantarse. Anthony Hopkins🇬🇧

We're nearly there 96,353 and counting. Do your thing internet. As for that vacuous act of futility that is govt's response? The Sewage Campaign Network has asked for a right to reply, we want to be able to write to the very same people govt did shredding their nonsense response. Sign now, sign today.
I need 100,000 signatures to win a parliamentary debate about the ownership of the water industry. Do your thing internet. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

This is the basic reason why the AS bill failed. One impartial expert organisation after another looked at the detail and concluded that it was a nightmare in the making:

The more I see of these “top civil servants” the more I realise that Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister were not the parodies I thought them to be!

Just driven over 100 miles from West to East Wales. Went through four 20mph areas, three took less than a minute to get through,the rest of the journey, 50mph,60mph and national speed limits. Stop listening to the rubbish being spouted about 20mph blanket speed limits in Wales.

Those pesky juries causing the backlog! Here’s what happened to me on March 13 at Nottingham crown ct. 1. Prisoners were late into court because there weren’t enough staff in the cells to take them off the vans. 2. Ct 7 - confusion reigns. Court thinks my client is in custody (they’re on bail) my co accused may be coming from prison or perhaps they are on a video link into court? No one is sure other than that, 3 years after both were charged the case is a mess and we need to return in 4 weeks time. 3. Meanwhile in Ct 8 the equipment isn’t working. Prosecuting counsel calls my colleagues phone which is placed near the Judge so she can conduct the hearing. Because the video link isn’t working we’re also missing a defendant & another barrister. We go off to next week. 4. Ct 9 - why hasn’t my client been brought to court ?No chance of getting him on a video link because the equipment isn’t working here either. @DannyShawNews @KarlTurnerMP @BarristerSecret @Kirsty_Brimelow @TheCriminalBar

Folk say Shakespeare is hard to understand, but it isn’t when it is delivered like this by Ian McKellen. Amazing how the language flows and stops to flow again, immediately comprehensible even to the modern ear. Both of them geniuses in their own way.

78 court rooms all available are shut today as Government continues to restrict funding so trials can’t be heard in courts and delays increase. How many more court rooms can’t hold hearings today as basic court building maintenance underfunding has meant heating in court cells and court rooms have failed? On Monday a criminal barrister tells us from the Midlands that the court “cells at Stafford Crown Court and Wolverhampton Crown Court were both forced to close due to a lack of heating and low temperatures. Absent any remote link from prison, remand hearings adjourned. At Birmingham Crown Court Annex the temperature inside the court room was 10 degrees. Too cold to sit still and work without gloves and too cold for a jury.”
📈Today, 6 January 2026, 78 out of the 516 Crown courtrooms in England & Wales will not be sitting. That's 15% of them. #courtstats #CS06012026 courtstats.co.uk

Morning again, David Lammy! I do wonder how long you & I must do this merry little dance. But here we go again. 75 courtrooms. Today. Sitting empty. Will you let us hold 75 rape trials in them? Instead of restricting jury trials for thousands of people? And if not, why not?

When is the LAA hack going to be sorted so that people can get paid? No publicity about this ongoing hardship is concerning.
