Nah, this journalist can’t say that the jury would reach a different verdict even in light of the challanged evidence - for him to announce they would today find her “clearly not beyond reasonable doubt” is incredibly arrogant. The jury spent 10 months of their lives on this - not a few hours writing this blog and he’s phrasing it like they were stupid.

The biggest red flag for me and still is the handwritten notes and its funny seeing him try rinse away with word salad. I’ve never ever written nor know anyone - including those who have been to therapy - who has a written the words I AM EVIL and I DID THIS. And I Killed them on purpose. Its not careless admin, its damn creepy and certainly would alone be enough for me to feel zero empathy for her. Yes, one may say a normal killer would surely destroy the evidence, but we’re not talking about a normal killer. This guy wants the families to go through hell all over again to likely (by his own admission) reach the same result. Guilty.

I enjoy smaller BBQs (5/6 people) but really dislike larger “extended family friend” ones.

You know, the ones where the related host will invite everyone and there neighbour’s cousins cat to sit around in a circle of sweaty plastic chairs, sunburned, all facing each other like some waiting room while we all melt away. Slowly the tinnies get opened faster, noise rises and after like an hour all the decent conversations have all ended, replaced by bad karaoke chorus of kings of leon.

Okay that escalated into PTSD, maybe its a me problem…

Huge congrats mate! Takes a special commitment to spend so long turning a vision into reality.

Also, pretty sure most AA games are also held together with tape and glue.

Appreciate its only been about 9 months or so, but been disappointed with Labour so far…

Starmer doesn’t appear to be listening to the public mood on benefit reform, taxes or even the growing hostility here towards the US. It seems he’s stuck 2 years in the past and as others have suggested it’s difficult to see him as being the leader of the Labour Party. The most positive move I’ve seen him make was his warm welcome of Zelenskyy after the White House disaster.

I don’t know if it was true, but I once read that Churchill rode the underground shortly before his famous speach which helped him get the mood of the public. Starmer really needs to doing something similar. He’s looking more out of touch every passing week.

I’ve recently installed ZorinOS on my Surface Go 2 as part of my migration away from US software. Had a great experience too so far, way faster than Windows 11 like 2-3x faster which is crucial as my base model only has 4GB RAM.

Only issue is my camera isn’t working, but I rarely used it (unfortunately still have a work laptop for teams calls). Now just need to migrate rest of services away from Microsoft account and close it.
