There was another act, called the Patton Brothers - my mother in law worked with them quite a bit! They were the older brothers to the Chuckles.

Of course, but I was asking what impact joining the EU would have on trans rights because I don’t know if there would be any - honest lack of knowledge on my part.

Exactly, but the ECHR applies now, even if it takes an age to work through.

Forgive me, but what would EU membership mean over and above what the ECHR already might say if a case gets to the court?

The original selfie! Nearly 50 years ago in Handsworth, photographers Derek Bishton, Brian Homer and John Reardon set up an impromptu studio in the street and invited neighbours to photograph themselves. If you’ve never seen the pics take a look - really special www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

The decline of Newsnight, at a time when we need detailed and decent investigative and foreign reporting more than ever, is so depressing. Marshall is more than an ex singer. He’s Paul Marshall’s son - of GB News, Unherd, Speccie - & is on ARC Forum advisory board

Imagine that this order was issued and they found some people prepared to execute it. Imagine the video footage of Royal Marines firing on unarmed civilians. Imagine the outcry when bodies wash up on beaches in Sussex. Imagine the mind that would support murder like this.

A reminder that this party wants to scrap the HRA and withdraw from the ECHR, which protect free speech and journalism.

So, one of the Solihull councillors exposed by ITV last night has resigned from the council. Two more still sit there and one of them is also a councillor in Birmingham. Time they quit.

Can confirm. I've heard it from the wackier end of conspiracists. They usually stop short of a little light treason, mind.
