Lord Nelson was 5ft 6in. His statue is 17ft 4in.
That’s Horatio of 3:1.

LinkedIn screenshot of Laurence Gardiner writing: “The police and the UK prosecutors are looking for a way out. The Royal Family are looking for an off ramp; they thought that they had already purchased one. The judiciary hope that they never need to try this case. Misconduct in public office is a civil offence and not a criminal offence. The legal test is the balance of probabilities and not without reasonable doubt. The penalty would be a slap on the wrist instead of a prison sentence. Mr Mountbatten-Windsor need only refuse to answer questions as he has always done and to deny wrong doing as he has always done and we will be home in time for hot tea and crumpets in the comfort of his grace and favour home. This is performative justice in place of reall investigative justice. Investigative journalism is the only hope for children and teens victimised by the alleged offender. Journalists should keep digging!”

I’m always baffled when utterly unqualified people give exceptionally confident but totally wrong legal advice.

His GP must live in abject fear of him sitting in his waiting room long enough to strike up a conversation with anyone. 😬

Incredible achievement, very early in life.

“Unexpectedly combative” for a Part 8 claim 🤓

This has been occupying almost every waking hour of my life for well over a year, not least because of the unexpectedly combative position taken by some of the parties.

I‘m pleased that we have managed to obtain this result for the successful applicants.

That’s all very interesting. Thank you!

Ooh. That’s really interesting. I would have thought (but didn’t check before posting my question) that it’s the location that gives rise to the issue rather than the role of the person photographed.

Legal bsky - I keep having LinkedIn posts in my timeline with photos by barristers, clearly taken in the RCJ (corridor rather than court room). I was almost certain that is also prohibited. Am I wrong?

GBNews Tweet that reads: “British Army paratrooper regiment face being sent into battle without parachutes as part of latest cost-cutting measures”

I can totally see what that might look like…

RFK Jr. Demonstrates How To Remove Tapeworm By Scooting Ass Across Carpet WASHINGTON—In an address touting the practice as a completely drug-free method to relieve the common affliction, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. demonstrated Thursday how ...

“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

Been toying around with Claude Code, and implemented an idea shamelessly lifted from a @annmlipton.bsky.social suggestion.

Lots of bugs to iron out.

I always thought that he‘d cross-qualified to the Bar at some point. Gowns, wigs, wig tins, etc. But now the inconsistencies are becoming more obvious.

This is quite a disappointing story.

Fifteen minutes of your time you will not regret using for this rhetorical and political masterclass. One for the ages.

Your thesaurus is kaputt.

Ragebaiting before my second coffee. For shame.

This image, not entirely unlike that of Alan Kurdi ten years ago, should do something to you if your moral compass is intact.

It is a bright cold day in January, and the clocks are striking thirteen.

LinkedIn post that reads: “Bond | Blofeld back story ; In the 1960s Ian Fleming confirmed to Henry Blofeld that his brother John had played a role in the naming of the supervillain. “The story [Fleming] told me was that when he started writing Thunderball… he wanted an evil name,” Henry recalled. “He couldn’t think of one [so] he took a taxi to Boodle’s, sank gratefully into a leather armchair and proceeded to go through the membership list in alphabetical order, looking for a suitably sinister name. “He had reached the Bs when he was pulled up short by a couple of Blofelds, my father and brother. In his own words, ‘I slammed the book shut, gave a yelp of delight, ordered a pint of champagne, and never looked back.’”

No he didn’t, Libby. His written remarks referred to Greenland as a “piece of ice” because that’s what it is. You’re the only one mixing anything up here.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Another proud day for America.

“It was very important, however, that we ensure the media understood the basis on which we were defending the case.”

It’s sad to see the care staff let an 80 year old confused man embarrass himself like that.
