Never in the history of America has an American President ever conducted themselves in such a crass manner in the Oval Office than Trump did with President Zelensky. He's never treated Putin like this.

“But it is a very unimaginative nature that only cares for people on their pedestals. A pedestal may be a very unreal thing. A pillory is a terrific reality…behind sorrow there is always a soul. And to mock at a soul in pain is a dreadful thing.” Oscar Wilde De Profundis

“And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like scorpions on the earth.” Revelation 9:3
In the Bible, locusts are symbolic of divine wrath, but what does that have to do with the development of our prison system?

For years as director of @MothersUncoverd, I’ve pointed out the correlation between parental mental health & impact on children, but investment is never made. This piece doesn’t state it: it starts with #Mothers, they need postnatal support @wesstreeting

' #IPP sentences were scrapped in 2012 – but thousands of #prisoners are still serving them, often for petty #crimes, with little or no hope of #release. '

‘IPP is so horrific, Woodley says, that often people don’t believe him when he tells them about it.’

Excellent series - but why is there only one Grendon ? Might it be that it only holds 200 while the new warehouses hold up to 2,000? bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0025v…
