Important to remember that there were other celebs/partners of celebs who were a part of this case. Not to mention all the others who were waiting in the wings for the result of this test case.

And this was just against the Mirror Group. Harry had other cases against other newspaper groups.

That explains it - just found him on FB and he does have the Marlboro thing on there. Interestingly he doesn't seem to have any of his terfy stuff on FB while there's plenty on his twitter.

The GFM update from Simon Harris is slightly oddly worded re the Gift Aid "a donation to cover Gift Aid". Hm. Gift Aid payouts come direct from HMRC or - IIRC - from organisations which can claim GA on your behalf such as Charities Aid, Enthuse etc. I think GFM goes via Paypal Giving but I am not 100% sure, but GA would come via them not direct from Simon Harris so why it can't be claimed in the usual way I don't know UNLESS people suddenly withdrew their donations or were refunded by GFM (which I guess might well have happened if it looked like a possible scam).

I do like that the old 2A and 5A outlets are still legal, even if its probably for some oldass reason like how chains are still used as a unit in the railways (or more likely the theatre in this case).

They're tiny and amusing and I use them for table lamps. Also because the original house wiring sucked so much rear end that physically preventing someone putting a heavy load on the spur off of a spur off of the bathroom wiring was the easy option.

It's amazing watching the Right Wing Reality Distortion Field kick in in real time:

Harry is taking less compensation than he could probably wring out of those found to have acted unlawfully against him and others...which shows that he must actually know that he's in the wrong.

It's like the [can't remember it exact] 'Jeremy Corbyn asks Cameron to answer on family ties to Panama Papers scandal - should Corbyn resign for this?' headline.

(Although that's a good example of Betteridge's Law).

Funnily enough, we would only use 2A and 5A in theatre as part of the set, if the play's set in a British living room in the old days :)

The 15A is still in common use, which is like the round pin one there but scaled up to the size of 13A normal one. Also the mainstream plug type of South Africa for some reason.

Theatre's kind of slowly moving towards 16A ceeform but they're big and blue and ugly and the 15A is still allowed, so meh.

The SNP having more MPs than the Tories would make me so happy that I wouldn't even give a gently caress about Kieth having the biggest Labour majority ever & doing nothing with it for a couple of days before getting mad again

I was reading about the '45 election & the Tories having fewer than 200 MPs & came across the leader of the Liberals, Archibald Sinclair, who lost his seat in Caithness & Sutherland, that he'd held since 1922. The Unionist Party won the seat with 5,564 votes, Labour came second with 5,558 votes, & Liberals received 5,503 votes. Or in percentages, 33.5%, 33.4% & 33.1%. Quite remarkably close.

Unionist guy insisted he stood as a member of the National Government & that he'd resign & stand in the resulting by-election when the war with Japan ended & there was no more National Government. Except he kept finding reasons not to resign & kept the seat until 1950.

They'll fire him whenever they feel like it AND they'll call Milliband anti-semitic into the bargain AND the Westminister media bubble will gleefully join in the pile on.

You're making the mistake of thinking like a normal reasonable human being, to whom expelling a Jewish person on trumped up charges of anti-semitism would be a ludicrous injustice, rather than just one more tool in the tool box for maintaining factional dominance.

London council rips out playgrounds to build houses – then runs out of cash


quote:

Families in south London say their children have stopped playing outside after communal spaces and playgrounds were ripped out to make room for new homes and then left boarded up when Southwark council ran out of money.

The council began tearing down large parts of the Bells Gardens and Lindley estates in Peckham last August but abandoned the build in January due to a funding crisis driven by rising interest rates. All that remains of the previous play area is a small pitch surrounded by hoardings and out of sight of the flats.

Experts warn the boarded-up area – which locals say is an “abomination” – illustrates a crisis in how social housing is funded as well as an urgent need for better laws to protect children’s play spaces.

One parent, Rosie, who has two children aged six and three, says she relied heavily on the play spaces. “We went to that playground all the time. It was so convenient for burning off their energy. There were also loads of kids who were older and had their independence and would play out as one. The eight-, nine-, 10-year-olds. It’s just how I grew up. I could see them playing when I looked out of my window but they’ve all gone now.”

I bet this land will just sit there until a private developer buys it in a dodgy firesale deal.
