I’m sorry if people have been having a go at you because of my tweet. Not at all the plan. I was very slightly drunk and already upset about something that had nothing to do with you. If it’s any comfort, I got it in the neck too. I’m a thin-skinned twat, apparently, even though it wasn’t my skin. I was sticking up for the writers who I adored. Obviously I shouldn’t have cited Bach/Kahlo/Moore - asking for trouble - and would have done better to go for the 10,000 blues songs written around the same 12 bar chord structure. I’ve listened to most of them and will keep doing so. Because we love what we love.

Glamour, the magazine who last year named 7 men “Women of the Year”, is now telling women that what matters when giving birth is what they’re wearing. Meanwhile, women are facing a real crisis in maternity care across the NHS. These people are Exhausting.

Ok folks. My son is going through hell from the Arctic to Africa to raise money for charity in honour of Lovisa - a beautiful smart Swedish woman and his late fiancée. If you can spare any money as a donation see the link below :) https://t.co/IgLIlvgLuC

This has just taken me right back to sitting in my mate’s living room after school & watching this whilst eating bacon-and-cheese butties. Happy, happy days. Bring back TOTP!

@Bob71136804 @AudreySuffolk @Tesco The ignorance & lack of empathy in some of these comments is astounding. Technology is confusing to many (not all) older people. I’ve worked as a carer and failing eyesight, lack of confidence, lack of dexterity, hearing impairment are all barriers to learning new skills.

[firewomon @firewomon]

This makes my blood boil. I find these things hard to use/navigate, and I’m not even that old. I absolutely hate the way the world is replacing people with machines.

[Phil not Bob @Bob71136804]

Ridiculous nonsense in @tesco cafe in Maesteg. Instead of speaking to someone at the till to order you now need to use these. My 85 year old mother won’t go anymore because it’s too confusing. Shame on you. #tesco

According to Facebook… #HappyValley is in talks to return. Don’t know how true that is but would be fantastic!

Well done, you mouth-breathing cretins. And well done to all the pricks on social media who have done nothing but race-bait over this tragedy. Shameful across the board.

As a psychologist, I’ll bet you £100 this is what happened with poor Henry Nowak. Cops suffer from empathy burn out. 90% of the time they deal with nothing but scum. It doesn’t make it right, but that cynicism will have come into play, here.

They get a 999 call saying, “A Sikh has been attacked.” They arrive at the scene, there’s a Sikh saying he’s been attacked and someone (Henry) acting strangely. The weapon has been hidden. They will have immediately thought ‘drink or drugs’, and they see no obvious wounds. The murderer laid on exactly the scene the police would have expected to see, had the complaint been genuine.

These are pure human confirmation and anchoring biases at play: the cops saw what they expected to see from the info they had going into the situation. They were tricked. Humans make mistakes.

Where the cops royally fucked up was not following normal procedures when someone says they have been stabbed, and checking them all over including skin. They should lose their jobs over that negligence alone and for allowing their biases to override their training.

I guarantee you “I can’t breathe” inadvertently made things worse as that’s what every single scumbag says when they get arrested, since George Floyd.

This absolute tragedy is a sad combination of confirmation and anchoring biases, excessive cynicism, and a criminal failure to follow correct procedures, not to mention a lying, murdering piece of shit and his piece of shit family doing everything they could to confuse the police and muddy the waters. It has nothing to do with diversity.

Henry Nowak should not have died at all, but he would have died whatever the police did. However, in these circumstances he should have died with someone holding his hand, trying to save him, and telling him it would be ok, not in handcuffs being read his rights. The police officers who made this dreadful error should lose their jobs and will have to live with that for the rest of their days.

Final point: well done to the Hants Police detectives who shredded the murderer’s story and secured a conviction.

Can someone please do a slide show of photos of the stuff Murrell bought with the music from the Take Hart gallery section.

The reaction to Kemi Badenoch’s words really show these men up for the racist misogynists they really are.

[Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick]

Kemi Badenoch: “I don’t want to hear” white lives matter.
Keir Starmer: “There’s no such thing as two-tier policing”.

Never have politicians been so out of touch with the people they’re paid to represent.

@sueveneer I don’t know Rush, but the Stones and U2 are good ones to have experienced!

Give yourself one point for each band you've seen live.

I got a pathetic 12.
