Great post! Coincidentally it's also Liberation Day here in Italy, which marks freedom from Nazi occupation.

Prince Harry's name appears, as a "well-known celebrity associate" of Diddy. No doubt he won't be happy about that. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/prince-harry-p-diddy-sexual-assault-lawsuit-b2518881.html

This is presumably a sudden death? It's very sad, may he rest in peace.

That's a lovely tribute to your dad, Phil. May he rest in peace.

I definitely feel for the dog owner after watching the vid, he looks like a broken man.

I reserve the right to call sentient killing machines "monstrous animals". There are also some monstrous humans. I have some sympathy with the dogs, as they are acting on instinct and know no better. If you have an XL Bully that doesn't eventually turn on you or someone else, I'd say you're...

Seeing as it's now an offence to breed these animals (they're all supposed to have been neutered or spayed by now) or sell them, I hope people who ignore the law will get an appropriately heavy prison sentence when someone is maimed or killed by their dog. I won't hold my breath, though.

Some drill rapper who was also a dog breeder owned the XL bullies which killed that poor woman in Jaywick. There was also a litter of puppies. The owner must have known the new law was coming into place, and still bred these monstrous animals. Now there's 6 more puppies which will presumably...

No I don't think so. It's just that I didn't live in a tiny village in England where everyone knows everyone else. Having said that, I wouldn't really want to live in England again.

Going right back to the opening post, the scenario described is a constant reality for women and girls. It's always something you think about. You're brought up to be aware that you're always taking a chance if you're out at night on your own. I remember when the "Reclaim the Night" movement...

It's so sad. I'm surprised to read that he'd already had a procedure to correct his heart rhythm problem - I suppose it's always a risk to continue high-level sport after you've had a cardiac issue diagnosed.

I agree, but we're in the minority!

Abandoned at a boat launch - he owns a jet ski, evidently. He could be anywhere now. He's a firearms instructor who has mental illness and has previously threatened to carry out a shooting. Why did he still have access to guns?

He was always my favourite player, what an incredible talent he was. RIP to one of the all-time greats.

I have to say, this made me laugh although it's probably not something to laugh at.
