A smoot is a hole left in a drystone wall for rabbits or other small animals to get through. I see many on my walks but this one (from Ambleside) has to be the most elaborate. A cathedral among smoots!

🌲Ed Sheeran explains to Louis Theroux that he dislikes private jets and prefers trains because "I like the environment, I like trees." We know that this type of messaging from celebrities is hugely impactful. We need far more of this from more stars.

McGregor in the WH. I don't ever want to hear one of you fucking cunts ask, EVER again, why women don't report our rapes to the Gardai. Do you hear me? Because even when we do, even when the Jury finds in our favour, the fucking rapists end up being celebrated. That's why.

Shocking that this isn’t a straightforward right. No victim should have to offer their deepest thoughts to the accused. Victims are entitled to get therapy. Can’t believe this isn’t automatic.

As it stands, a victim’s counselling notes can be used as evidence if they are deemed to be relevant to the case.
