Quite surprised he found 500 eejits to chip in.

I assume those Lewis repeats pay more.

I invoke the Windsor Davies response.

I'm generally pleased that fewer suspects experience accidents on the station steps.
But sometimes I hark back to those good old days.

I fear Tommy's latest stretch is only going to make him more popular than ever.

UK prosecutors say 21 charges authorised against Tate brothers

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg41g1140po

Prosecutors in the UK have confirmed for the first time they have authorised 21 charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking.

The Crown Prosecution Service said that it had authorised the charges against the brothers in 2024, before an extradition warrant was issued to bring them back from Romania.

Are they still out in America? I remember that the Florida law wanted to investigate them when they went over from Romania so I'd imagine they would've scarpered from there.

Whatever happens to them over there they'll get a pardon.

They're back in Romania.
A week or so after their move to Florida, the state raised charges against them.

Current status:
1. Undergoing due process in Romania (Not looking so rosy since Putin's man lost the election there).
2. Subject to extradition to the UK.

I suspect they'll learn the hard way that Trump doesn't have friends - just useful goons.

Has Darren Grimes moved into the periodical business?

[Abernathy]

This (very long) piece by Daniel Trilling in the LRB is nevertheless well worth reading. Wide-ranging, it illuminates in a number of ways where we are politically and societally, particularly with respect to the global phenomenon of right-wing populism, and where we might be heading. I recommend it, strongly.
