India banning the export of rice the same week that Putin tears up the deal on letting Ukraine get their grain out.

Coincidence or is there a bigger picture.....

BBC interview of a Moroccan footballer in the womens world cup - they asked her if there were gay people in her squad and what is life like for them.

Interviewee declined to answer and tbh rightly so.

Mick Jagger is 80 years old today. He wasn't even 40 when I saw the stones in Slane.

Man serves 17 years for a rape and attempted murder he did not commit, 10 of which was because he wouldn't confess. Scary how this can happen.

A lot of sexual offences are not proved beyond reasonable doubt, but people are convicted anyhow. There are no witnesses and it is one person's word against the other. There is legitimate concern about women not being believed, but sending some to jail for a long period should require evidence and there often isn't.

Follow up to this:

To summarise:
"Even if you fight tooth and nail and gain compensation, you have to pay the Prison Service for so-called 'board and lodging'."

Sorry about jailing you incorrectly for 17 years.  That'll be £100k please. 

I tend to think of myself as a one man wolfpack...
