The futility of feeble UK police attitude to marijuana perfectly illustrated. dailymail.co.uk/news/article… *Possession* of marijuana is a serious crime (max penalty 5 years in prison and an unlimited fine) Yet police behave as if it isn't. This is why marijuana use grows and grows.

Norris has a questionable history on his finances and yet as a darling of our political/media/academia bubble, he's never held to account.
He should be "doorstepped" until we get answers on what happened to our money.

Utterly remarkable how little outrage this is generating on this full-time outrage site. It's public money he's used here. Where did it go? Because it sure as hell wasn't all needed for his website. irishtimes.com/news/politics…

The investigation around #Epstien now needs to be ramped up. A narcissistic bastard in life as well as death, he can’t be allowed to deny justice to his victims nor punishment for those degenerates that sexually exploited children.

A beautiful thing to see, and despite the terrible brutality of the past week. And a reminder that Putin, like every dictator, has no idea when or how his rule will end. Only that it will be sudden. x.com/maxseddon/status/11601…

More than 47,000 people - double the number of a few weeks ago - protested in Moscow today. The Kremlin’s attempts to kill the pro-democracy movement are only making it stronger

After two weekends of extreme violence by Putin’s jackbooted stormtroopers, 47,000 brave Moscowvites have come out today to protest his undemocratic kleptocracy. This destroys the myth that Putin is still popular

Unfortunately, I will have to limit my August activities. Part of my lung damaged by the 2017 assault had to be removed by surgery this weekend. The doctors, nurses, & staff at Vanderbilt University Medical Center were great. I should be able to return to the Senate in September

Shocking of Irish Times. Kevin McKenna was an unrepentant mass murderer who unwittingly helped disgust the then terrorist Sean O'Callaghan into becoming an informer by saying apropos the murder of a policewoman: "With luck she was pregnant & we'll get 2 Prods for the price of 1"

The national broadcaster's report on plans to send private debt collectors to people's homes to extort money for the national broadcaster includes - imagine my surprise - not one word from anyone critical of the proposal.
With people increasingly watching TV on devices such as tablets and mobile phones, the Government has agreed replace the traditional TV licence fee with a new "device independent broadcasting charge" | bit.ly/319K8Pk
