Astounding evidence coming out of the London Bridge attack inquest today - Khuram Butt passed TfL background checks to work on Tube *after* appearing in jihadi documentary, being reported to anti-terrorist hotline and years involvemed with Anjem Choudary

independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
Cross-checks with MI5's internal review of failures showed that he was also supposedly under surveillance for suspected ATTACK PLANNING when he started working on the Tube

independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…
Butt is a low-level example of the crime-terror nexus @PeterRNeumann

He had been a cannabis-smoking "party animal", had been arrested for fraud, suspected of stealing iPad by posing as a taxi driver and "made cash by obtaining mobile phones and selling them on Gumtree"

Tommy Robinson has characterised his case as an establishment crackdown, but his Facebook live posed a real threat to actual victims

For the first time, The Independent can reveal how close he came to causing the Huddersfield grooming trials to collapse

independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…
The defendants had been split into three trials for practicality, meaning that evidence, witnesses and victims would crossover

Judge Geoffrey Marson imposed a reporting restriction under the Contempt of Court Act postponing reports of proceedings until the end of the last trial
When Robinson broke it in such extraordinary fashion - a Facebook live video viewed by 10,000 people in real-time and millions since - it was at a particularly sensitive phase

The jury was out in the second trial, with first group awaiting sentence and the third yet to come

A man has admitted assaulting Nigel Farage by throwing a milkshake over him in Newcastle

Paul Crowther pleaded guilty to common assault and criminal damage at North Tyneside Magistrates' Court

independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…
District Judge Bernard Begley has indicated that he will not jail Crowther and impose a community sentence instead

The hearing has been adjourned and will continue later
CPS hopes the case “acts as deterrent to others considering criminal form of political protest”

“People should be free to conduct legitimate political campaigns without fear of physical assault...is appropriate to bring charges where protests cross line into criminal behaviour”

Shamima Begum has the right to return to the UK, the security minister has confirmed

It is unclear whether she could be prosecuted for a criminal or terror offence, or keep custody of her child

independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
Asked whether she should be viewed as a victim of Isis propaganda because she was a child when she joined, Ben Wallace replied: “The consequence of jihadi brides going was to feed the caliphate. They helped support it logistically and give it some credibility.”
And he's bang on there. The tendency to view female Isis members as victims when little nuance is afforded to their male counterparts is sexist, dangerous and frankly, stupid

I explored the issue - through the lens of Bodyguard - here independent.co.uk/arts-entertain…

Today in the world of astrophysics we celebrate the 100th anniversary of an eclipse. But not just any eclipse. This one provided the first observational evidence to the theory we've been using for a century to make sense of the Universe. So, thread #1919Eclipse #onceacosmologist
The theory is Albert Einstein's general relativity, presented in 1915. Why an eclipse, though? Within general relativity, we understand gravity as the way objects that have mass interact with their environment, aka spacetime. Which by the way isn't flat but curved & flexible. Ha!
Massive objects bend spacetime, and with it the paths of everything that moves in it. Including light particles (which by the way have no mass). To test this, you need a massive object in the foreground and sources of light in the background. Like the Sun and the stars, right?

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Stacked drop, last over a repost of #Q 1164.
This is an explanation of how #FVEY was used to circumvent data collection laws. Also, how #Hussein, #HRC, #LL,Brennan & #Clapper met in a #SCIF 2plan their #SurveillanceOp & #CoupAttempt.

NEW: The choas enveloping Virginia deepened early this morning when @LGJustinFairfax issued a statement at 2:55AM denying claims of sexual assault from 2004 - and threatened to sue those who spread the claims.

First take from a shell-shocked Richmond >

Updated lede-all w @alanblinder: Northam under siege, meeting w cabinet, while Fairfax vehemently denies charges of sexual assault and Speaker Kirk Cox says he’s not sure there are grounds to impeach the gov

On the mess >

....and the Post publishes the woman’s account, says they could not corroborate last year. BUT the paper denies Fairfax statement that they held off bc of “red flags”

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.
This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/
A few example of flat earth videos that were promoted by YouTube #today:
