In a decision which vindicates the actions of nine women who broke the windows of Europe’s second largest investor in fossil fuels, HSBC, a jury at Southwark Crown Court today returned a verdict of ‘not guilty’ after just two hours deliberating.

Lucky that we have not gone down that rabbit hole, it being pervasive in many an extreme country.

Surprised Mizzy was jailed as there's an overcrowding issue but the judge is right about this stuff not being funny. If I recall, his pranks involved riding an electric bike at speed through a supermarket and offices, and letting himself into stranger's houses then saying he lived there and refusing to leave. He's a stupid and vain young man who wants to be famous at any cost and thinks the law shouldn't apply to him.

I'm glad the delivery driver got off even though he overreacted.

Here's some amazing good news. That stuff you take to cure your manky fungal nails can cure flesh eating bugs that kill people. And it costs pennies in comparison.

@AndyRM I seem to recall you were/are a graphic designer ?

Not sure if this is your thing or the locations are suitable but BT are hiring https://lnkd.in/etaRdeny

I've asked to have a chat with them about the location. If it's not flexible then it's a non starter, but no harm in asking!

Well done to the Indian rescue team for recovering all the trapped tunnellers.

Incredible when you read what they had to do, like manually clearing rubble when the machine broke. What a great result. My grandad broke his back in a pit cave in. Survived it (obviously) and recovered.

My kitchen is freezing. Which means the fridge and freezer cost next to nothing to run.
Plus, by the time my coffee trickles through the cold air into the mug it is near enough at drinking temperature.

We're all very happy for you!

2-for-1 charity donation deal.

(not a good deal if you're a climate change denier). Get in before Sunday deadline, bargain-hunters!

Fits the bill. Never being top of the bill, that is.
