Nominally sane right-wingers turning themselves into parodies of Moriarty from the Goon Show is about the single best thing that could happen in relation to potentially serious security incidents

The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.

On the day after the referendum I remember saying to someone "the worst thing about this is we're going to leave and then we're going to spend the next 20 years trying to get back in and by then I'll be retirement age..."

Been reading 1960s-70s Conservative Party weekly newsletters all day at the NLW. Recurring annual editorial feature was how amazing Edward Heath’s party conference speeches were. Politics doesn’t really change. Does it?

What is a "Zionist synagogue"? There are two possible meanings. 1) Any Synagogue affiliated to a denomination which in some way has expressed support for Israel's existence. Which is most of them. 2) Any Synagogue which has prayers which can be interpreted as "Zionist". Which is ALL of them.

My first coach at the indoor school in Edgbaston (when I was about 10 in the mid-1980s) was Alan Townsend, part of Tom Dollery's 1951 championship winning team. Absolute diamond bloke. Passed away in 2014. I do hope he was smiling down on the boys today...

Braverman wants to identify as British rather than English? Fine. But her concept of a mythically pure English ethnicity is racist bullshit. I haven’t noticed her drawing the line at Normans, Huguenots or Hanoverians. Nor does Englishness deny you an Asian, Caribbean, African or Jewish heritage.

Don't know what to say anymore

Protesters amassed in Gosport, Hampshire, after rumours spread that the migrants might be brought ashore by lifeboats there. Police closed off access roads to the marina as activists rallied by Thomas on YouTube arrived to attempt to block the boat’s arrival. Crowds of masked protesters confronted a line of police to chants of “let them drown” sung by a child over a megaphone.

I may get shouted out for this, but it's a real observation: Polanski has a pattern of behaviour of making trouble for himself by telling fibs when he absolutely doesn't need to do so. He lies reflexively and then creates several more news cycles as a result.

I mean, if the guy Sheeran's people kicked out had a back history of blacking up rather than doing an antisemitic parody thing, it wouldn't be a particularly controversial call would it?
