Grodon Brown
Grodon Brown is being widely portrayed as a saintly patriarch betrayed by his greedy servant. But he was utterly complicit in the erosion of democracy to favour corporate interests, that became a hallmark of the New Labour years. He appointed Mandelson for this very purpose.

Love these pics from Uganda (Jinja district), where groups of women have embraced cricket as a way to stay physically active and socially connected later in life.

Hey @jarrodkimber.bsky.social are there any stats available that compare the accurate-ness of the rectangle drawn by the umpire when calling for a review and if the decision is out or not out?

My theory is the more accurate the TV drawn in the air the more likely to be not out

Just remembered that the RFK conspiracy theory revolves around Sirhan Sirhan not being an angry Palestinian nationalist in the year following the Six Day War between Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Israel.

@dicknixon.bsky.social Ron, has the president asked Mr Sapphire for a few words for the Artemis II mission?

On the one hand, sure, fearsome reputation, but on the other hand the reason we’re in this mess is Brown took someone who’d crossed him and brought him back from the political wilderness to be his deputy Prime Minister, so

Victoria Hall’s Mum died weeks ago and never saw her daughter’s killer finally plead guilty today. Absolutely heartbreaking. I hope he never finds a minute’s peace. Thinking today of all the women he brutally killed.

People working in their own narrow self-interest to the detriment of the wider public sphere? It's a tragedy of the Commons!
Social media really has ruined Commons scrutiny in that nobody hunts in a pack anymore, it's just 'would the minister like to repeat his statement but for *my* Facebook clip' these days.

Gerry Adams sweating nervously now. Praying that nobody remembers what his brother did or how he covered it up.
It's rather dizzying how much more responsive to the Epstein file releases at least some European countries have been than the US.

I'm not surprised, mind.

The significance of Mr Pond's identity is it emphasises how serious Mandelson's breach of confidence was, because it shows the level of discussion he was passing on.

Which, of course, vicariously doesn't reflect well on Mr Pond who appointed him.

Thanks to @blunderball.bsky.social and a bit of poking around in BBC Genome I have discovered that the 1982 adaptation of the Lord of the Rings has only been repeated twice on Radio 4 three times in the past 44 years (1987 and 2002).
Radio buffs help me. When was the last time that the 1981 adaptation of The Lord of the Rings was broadcast on BBC Radio?
