Mr Farage was returning from Independence Day celebrations when Sky News asked him about claims relating to financial support received from a convicted criminal.

Farage accused Sky News of 'harassing' his family; Sky News has not contacted anyone from his family about the story.

Excellent piece by @OrenWeisfeld on the decline of actual journalism in sports media. This is what we mean when we say we have to coexist with content creators because we bring entirely different skillsets and are incentivized by entirely different things

What's the "American" for Gobshite...

[Daniel Friedman @DanFriedman81]

In 2007, the standards of living in the United States and Western Europe were similar, and most people don’t realize how much things have diverged since the US boomed after the global financial crisis and Europe didn’t.

They don’t fully understand how we’re living and we don’t fully understand how they’re living; even when we visit Europe as tourists, we don’t see their tiny, sad flats and their depressing grocery stores.

That is why Europeans visiting for the World Cup are going to, like, a Waffle House or a Taco Bell and losing their minds. Stuff we don’t even like or care about is wildly superior to everything everywhere else. We have no idea how rich we are.

It was the first commercially successful design, later purchased by Marcel Bich (aka BIC) in 1950.

Crazy Courts # 7,654...

[Courts News Ireland @courtsnewsIRL]

A judge has granted convicted killer Derek Moore (aka Hutch), who was banned from the roads, high on drugs, driving at 158km/h and pulling wheelies on his motorbike when he struck a grandmother in Dublin city centre, a bail variation allowing him to go on holiday abroad while he awaits his sentence.

Gardai had objected to the application.

How the hell is the justice system able to have this light touch approach...

[Courts News Ireland @courtsnewsIRL]

A motorist who carried out a “spontaneous and dreadful” road rage attack on a 64-year-old cyclist has had his jail term replaced with a fully suspended sentence and his driving ban lifted on appeal.

Judge Simon McAleese ordered Glen Corcoran (30) to pay €15k to the family of the victim, who the court heard has has since passed away due to an unrelated illness.

The judge had earlier noted that jails are “bursting at the seams”, with some prisoners sleeping on the floor and others being released early.

Bond is an orphan. Skyfall is the story of him losing his second mother. And Sam Mendes shot Dench's death scene on her actual last day after 17 years as M. So part of the grief on screen is real.

His parents died when he was a small boy. He hid for two days in a secret passage at his childhood home. That home is called Skyfall. M says it out loud at one point in the film: "orphans always make the best recruits."

So when Mendes set out to give Dench her goodbye, he picked Skyfall as the title. And the location. The same house where Bond lost his first mother is where he loses his second one. He's a grown man, and he's going home to bury a parent again.

The villain, Silva, calls M "Mommy" and "Mother" through the whole movie. He's the son she rejected. Bond is the son she chose. Her dying words to Bond, in his arms in the chapel on his family estate, are "Well, I did get one thing right." She means him.

The poem M reads earlier in the film, in front of a bunch of British politicians who are about to fire her, is an old British poem called Ulysses. The poet wrote it after losing his closest friend. The lines she picks are about old soldiers who aren't as strong as they used to be, but won't quit. "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." She's reading her own eulogy out loud while Silva is shooting his way into the room. Mendes cuts back and forth between the two.

Daniel Craig once said Dench could speak a hundred words and make them sound wonderful, but a single look from her could break your heart.

That same year, 2012, Dench was diagnosed with an eye disease that's been slowly taking her sight. She's 91 now. She can't recognize faces anymore. She's stopped acting.

Watch the chapel scene again knowing all that. Bond cries. He kisses her forehead. The boy who hid in that secret passage at Skyfall is back in the same house, holding the woman who became the closest thing he had to a mother.

She leaves him a small bulldog statue from her desk. And for the first time in the entire franchise, the audience learns her real name. Olivia.
