*whispers* As Slow Horses the series slides, the books get better (apart from Clown Town, which, funniest aside, was a bit "meh").

Besides Childline (obvs), that clip of Esther Rantzen getting arrested for obstruction is my favourite thing of hers. The way she rather sardonically responds in that slightly posh put upon way is hilarious. Especially sticking her head out the window. Pernod, ouzo, marmalade and salt all round!

They might weakly argue public interest but I bet they have rarely, if ever, posted multiple photos and details - just like a Property Pal listing - for other convicted child abusers.

If Tom Cruise gets an Oscar nomination for DIGGER, I hope the clip they use is the scene from COYOTE VS. ACME where Foghorn Leghorn testifies to congress. Cruise gives the exact same performance, and almost exactly the same speech, but in COYOTE VS. ACME it hits 100x harder.

Charging nationalists with not “having a commitment to the law” is propaganda. Moralising flim flam of a dog whistle to disguise annoyance that they are not submitting to the bullying source of this crisis like the Parade Commission did.

The DUP insisting they're acting in good faith when their leader declares the spokesperson for the residents either agree to let them march (the only resolution Gav will accept) or he gets arrested. That's hostage-taking, not negotiating.

If Stormont collapses then that will hit Sinn Fein electorally down South, as this will show that they are unfit to lead a government. Also the DUP will have to explain to their electorate why their action has caused the Irish government to have a bigger say in NI affairs. Dumb & dumber.

And before someone says "Ah but he's a legal adviser to the Portadown District and they're the local reps". So what? 1) there's no exceptions named in the determination 2) I imagine both they and the Orange Order have mobile phones

Just to be clear, all 3 of these full-time bigots are in breach of the Parades Commission determination, which excludes anyone not part of the Orange Order District to assemble with the marchers.

Picking through the bones of the last Parades Commission determination on the Drumcree march. The Orange Order District made commitments to have no supporters join the parade or assemble at other points. This appears to have been broken from early this morning by both DUP MP, Lockhart, and Bryson.
