🔗 Wife of Huw Edwards names him as BBC presenter at centre of allegations.
Officers at Scotland Yard have now concluded there is no evidence to support this allegation leaving the Sun facing questions about its reporting
Sue them. Close them down. It won’t make any difference. This is the same shit show that gave us the douche Piers Morgan and he’s back there spewing his usual crap.
It won’t make a difference because It’s another Murdoch gutter tabloid.
🍿.. only one because despite the expected hoopla and outrage, nothing will happen to the mawho allows this crap to keep on rolling.
Gosh darn … I was so taken by 🔗 this conversation today that it rather unusually derailed my routine. 🖇️ I am now back on track … and also rather unusually (first time?) this morning my extract is from the source material, not Ryan’s summary.
… turns out I was late to the party … my first ‘purchases’ didn’t happen until January 9th the following year.
🎬 There’s a movie out there just released called the 🔗 Sound of Freedom
Good reviews on IMDB … serious subject … but it seems to this observer that it is being artificially promoted. I’ve also had some back chatter that all is not what it seems.
Any thoughts from those that read this post?
Popular phrases in my world …
I play the guitar - I am not a guitarist
and
I write - I am not a writer
… so I read Manu’s 🔗 new post with interest.
I am not a speaker and chances are you’re not one either. And yet you’re probably speaking with other people constantly in your life without giving it a second thought.

🔗 The 20 best podcasts ever. … I was going to retitle this the 20 podcasts I have never listened to and then just at the end I spotted one that I do listen to every now and then .. depending on time and guest.
🔗Spill - another one.
🔗 How Canada Saved My Life (And Why It Still Matters) - Umair Haque
🔗 Australian minister calls Donald Trump Jr a ‘big baby’ over canceled tour.
Turns out he did have a visa.
Turns out people just didn’t want to listen to him.
Just one question … Can we cancel him here aswell?
Ok …2 questions … When is he being arrested?
As I start the next journey with the next network over on 🔗 Threads, a song from the Moody Blues comes to mind.
Watching and waiting
For a friend to play with
Why have I been alone so long
Mole he is burrowing his way to the sunlight
He knows there’s some there so strong.
‘Cause here there’s lot of room for doing
The thing you’ve always been denied
Look and gather all you want to
There’s no one here to stop you trying
Soon you will see me
‘Cause I’ll be all around you
But where I come from I can’t tell
But don’t be alarmed by my fields and my forests
They’re here for only you to share
‘Cause here there’s lot of room for doing
The things you’ve always been denied
So look and gather all you want to
There’s no one here to stop you trying
Watching and waiting
For someone to understand me
I hope it won’t be very long

… and yet I never knew this. #AlwaysLearning
🔗 English tourist accused of carving name in Colosseum says he did not realise its age.
