This is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know these thugs do not speak for the rest of us. Add your name? act.38degrees.org.uk/act/rnli-tha...

Jason's 30 marathons in 35 days was a life-defining achievement. And everything I have referenced so far was available for journalists to find. But they chose to claim there was "no evidence" of it happening. Imagine what that must have felt like for him 😢 11/

Andy Murray meets Olympic torch carrier before Novak Djokovic clash

$"I spent a bit of time with a guy called Jason Arday a couple of days ago," the new US Open champion said, before getting ready for his eighth match this year against the newly installed world No1, in the second round of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. "He is an epileptic who ran 30 marathons in 35 days. He told me that on the 20th day he fell - he had a fit, a seizure - and had a hairline fracture in his leg, but he continued. He had asked to meet me, and that was pretty cool, speaking to someone like that.$

Headline: Clapham-based Jason Arday completes 30 marathons in 35 days for Shelter and the Shooting Star Children's Hospice.

Jason Arday stands with supporters after completing 30 marathons in 35 days, raising funds for two charities.

Extract from article:
The sports-mad father of one has so far raised more than £6,000 for the homelessness charity Shelter and the Shooting Star Children's Hospice.
Karen Peffer, Shooting Star's challenge events fundraiser, said: "Jason is such an amazing person, it is a real privilege to have someone so unique and inspirational fundraising for our charity.
"This has been an exceptional challenge and we are so proud."
In total, Mr Arday has raised more than £100,000 for charity since he began fundraising when he was 17.
He said: "Charity is my life, but I wouldn't be able to do what I have done without the support of so many people."

$Extract from article: But 25-year-old Jason Arday had other things on his mind, as he celebrated completing the epic challenge by racing to the nearest takeaway and tucking into some fish and chips. The college lecturer, from Clapham, completed the gruelling challenge on Sunday at Piccadilly Circus after enduring daily ice baths and a hairline fracture to his leg - all while studying for a Master's degree.$

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

When a loud noise is unexpected, it's a normal & healthy physiologic response to look *toward* the noise. This *automatic* human reaction helps us to identify potential danger and determine whether we're safe. Not looking toward the noise is *highly indicative* of foreknowledge. #BodyLanguageExpert

@christietime.bsky.social I have really enjoyed all of these podcasts, 'At Bertram's Hotel" and "Nemesis" are 2 of my favourite Christie's. I also like (but I am probably in a fan club of 1) "Elephants can Remember". I have really appreciated a considered look at her work during the 60s.
