IIRC the first newspaper to give the genocide and war crimes deniers at Spiked space to push their views was the Guardian. Then the BBC gave them airtime. This isn't just a right wing press problem.

Fun to speculate which drugs the various Trump team members are on in public. For Musk we know it's ketamine, this guy is some amphetamine like drug and alcohol. Plenty of coke heads elsewhere.

Probably need to find a way of removing the monster of the Whitehouse and the monster of the Kremlin from the forefront of my mind. So I'm moving to a timber framed 18th century cottage that needs a new roof.

I had an issue with a private building surveyor who denied several times in writing having records pertaining to work they'd done for me that I knew they'd had. So I submitted an SAR. And it turns out they did have all those records despite denying it. Is it worth complaining to the regulator?
