BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

Not really the Contractor’s fault if they built it to the design and spec so don’t get why the post is blaming them (assuming there weren’t other issues). Would have thought they’d still have PI cover anyway.

The authorities are saying the gunman was inspired by far-right ideologies.

A fuller version of the Neidle reporting on the silencing of the masseuse who had a lifelong injunction against her talking about being sexually assaulted by Brand. It seems that the legal system is as rigged as the celebrity culture that lets people like Brand doing what he did.

It's quite long, but worth a read, not so much for the Brand connection (which is why I've not put it there), but on the legal system seemingly protecting the rich and influential from a woman who claims she was assaulted, and particularly in this case giving her no recourse whatsoever, literally not even being able to talk to her family about it for the rest of her life.

Maybe one interesting aspect is what if there will be any to establish where things went wrong, who F'd up.

The injunction against publishing the name of the 'famous person' has expired, but...

A burst water main on Whitehall today while the Government decides what to do about the failing water companies asking for more time and more money, while drought is still present in most of the country.

There are several posts in the Russell Brand thread on the same subject.

Two people I never liked getting their comeuppance in a single week.
Maybe I should but a lottery ticket.

Glad the injunction got lifted or no-one would have ever known it was Walliams!
