Absolutely obsessed with the idea that periodically Althea & Donna have to take the day off their normal work lives as event planner and local government official to go perform at something global.

Fair enough but here's a scheme you could try:

3. Profit in the form of endless Welsh cakes from a grateful friend!

I had to tax a (large) bite because I have never made them before. Unsurprisingly they are like the best kind of gooey cookies. Recommend it!

Are you saying that the fact that I was once the physical manifestation of "the library" for a musical about Amelia Earhart and the PoincarΓ© Conjecture via live audio synthesis isn't clearly insane? It is true, but still insane.

Screen shot from Paul Embery’s X account:

Respect to this police officer. Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel "is a Muslim area" she was calm and professional and
gave them short shrift. Let's see more of this from the police.

Has a video of a woman police officer talking to a group of Muslim men

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too!

The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression.
