Handy Andy. He will clean house.

[james hudson @JamesFrederickH]

@PiQSuite Luckily we have the perfect replacement to clean house. There is an entire range to choose from.

@PolemicTMM You do realise this comes with a guy in your shed with a jerry can of petrol and a match.

Jayne Senior spent twelve years filing reports about the rape of children in Rotherham.

She ran the Risky Business outreach project from 1999 to 2011 and passed roughly 1,700 cases to police and social services.

She was told the girls were consenting. That they would make poor witnesses. That she was breaching the perpetrators' human rights. That she was being racist.

So in 2012 she handed more than 200 confidential documents to a newspaper.

That single act triggered the Jay inquiry, the Casey inspection, the removal of the council's leadership, and criminal investigations that continue today.

The system called her records "rubbish". History calls them evidence.

Why did saving children in Britain require an act of career suicide?

@TeleCricket @NHoultCricket He is a cricketer not a saint. If these same rules applied to journalists there would be no news.

@paxtrader777 Anybody who says you are trying to con people praying the rosary are crazy. Love you and what you do.

@degiorgiod To state the obvious. The rich are rich and the poor are poor. Only the middle matters and they are getting destroyed. They are saving more and spending less. The free money is gone for now. Either to the top or the bottom. Doesn't matter they both blew it on nonsense.

Additional risk comes from the war's end rather than the war itself. Hundreds of thousands of veterans will come home with combat skills, cash, and networks built outside any chain of command. Putin is already ordering the MVD, which is short 212,000 officers, to absorb them.

Taped a podcast with a large asset manager, but they scrapped the whole episode b/c they didn’t like me saying empirical evidence suggests there is no persistent single manager outperformance beyond random chance.

Apparently reality would cause “confusion” for their audience...

Winston Churchill never hid the fact that he suffered from depression. He called it his “black dog” — a dark shadow that could follow him even when he stood at the height of power.

But Churchill had his own way of keeping that darkness from completely taking over. It was not grand speeches or political victories. It was a simple physical act — laying bricks.

At his estate, Chartwell, he personally laid around 200 bricks a day. Row by row, wall by wall. He built garden walls, utility buildings, sometimes entire structures. What mattered was not only the result, but the process itself.

His principle was simple: keep the hands busy so the mind can rest. When heavy thoughts overwhelmed him, he picked up a trowel. When anxiety tightened its grip, he laid one brick. Then another. And another.

They say Churchill took this craft so seriously that he even joined a bricklayers’ union. Imagine that: the British prime minister carrying a builder’s union card.

There is a phrase often associated with his experience: depression does not like a person who keeps moving.

Sometimes the path through darkness begins not with a great decision, but with one small action. Take a step. Complete a simple task. Lay your own “brick” today.

And tomorrow — lay another one.

@lebron_ex @CRUDEOIL231 Kibuki theatre until something breaks then more of the same until reality punches them in the face. Then anger indignation and maybe whatever action they are still capable of. Great market to trade. War on war off. I'm tired.

Faith and trust are the foundations of this system. As bond markets become more detached a belief that 'policy makers' control the world is great when it works. They will obviously play the same song and the crowd will cheer. Maybe this is reality or maybe reality will punch them in the face. I'm not convinced.
