We really have reached Soviet levels of gaslighting.

A man is murdered, and somehow, the real problem is that people are angry about it.

Children are gang raped, and somehow the real problem is that people keep mentioning it and “dividing communities.”

This is moral inversion.

No. Crime divides communities. Institutional failure divides communities. Cover-ups, euphemisms, cowardice, and elite contempt divide communities.

@boswelltoday IIRC from a very long time ago studying, the rule that husbands and wives couldn’t give evidence against each other was done away with by the Husband and Wife (Law Reform) Act of 1964.

@christiancalgie IIRC that’s almost exactly what John Major’s Tories did with the Churchill-Matrix report, giving Robin Cook 30 minutes only to read it.

@EarlhamThe @hellothisisivan I always thought Descent Into the Maelstrom S4, E2, was an important episode with great character development. It showed Victor’s inherent kindness and care for Margaret, deftly explaining why she’d never left him.

@LeoKearse In Australia, aside from Christians, it's only ever the Sikhs who seem to do anything for strangers. When we're hit by one of our frequent natural disasters you often hear of the Sikhs setting up a field kitchen and/or giving out blankets etc. There are bad Sikhs, bad Christians.

@PoznanProject @appleshampooID @kamilkazani Many years ago I was reading Somerset Maugham’s novel, Mrs Craddock. He refers to a political candidate giving a pathetic speech. I was confused as the speech was well received. A bit of Googling and I discovered it was then a positive.

@tomhfh Several years ago we stayed in a wonderful cottage on a working sheep station in South Australia. It had no star rating. Asking why, we were told they’d need to tile the original stone floor of the laundry room to get stars, install a trouser press etc and thought sod that.

@drkatrina Thanks for this. I remember your father also from a guest appearance on Dixon of Dock Green, and saw him only last week when watching Tunes of Glory for the first time.

@supertolerant I recall taking my parents, in their seventies, out to breakfast nearly 20 years ago. “We’ve never been out for breakfast before.” they told me matter of fact.

@thecheryorchard @SkyNews @AliFortescue Comme toujours...

[Tim Meade @TimMeade1289016]

@thecheryorchard @SkyNews @AliFortescue Indeed, your mistake. We were talking, long ago, about a bank closing his account on dubious given circumstances which turned out to be false. A FOI request showed it was political.

[Tim Meade @TimMeade1289016]

@thecheryorchard @SkyNews @AliFortescue I think you're mistaking me for someone else.

[Tim Meade @TimMeade1289016]

@JamesAHogg2 You and me both!

@Joey7Barton Russell Crowe and Richard E. Grant both in award winning form; Remi Malik not so much. Top marks for historical accuracy in showing how Robert H. Jackson failed to skewer Göring under examination; Sir David Maxwell Fyfe's concentrated line of questioning saving the day.

@IPhillips79 Paying tribute to Sidney Poitier on his death, Dame Patricia advised how SP arrived to film the scene and very generously sat with his back to the camera to give her screentime - as the star he was free to take whatever position he chose.
