A thing just happened in the cricket and I watched the clip and now I understand the rule!
Not sure if I have ever admitted this here but I have almost no clue at all about cricket, never followed it, don't know the rules
During my pupillage I used to call up my dad to get some 'lines to take' about the Ashes as everyone seemed so bothered about it
Not sure if I managed to maintain the illusion that I knew anything more than there are batters and bowlers

My goodness me. A £183.39m potential fine for British Airways. A monster fine which isn't even the highest which could be levied (can go up to 2% of worldwide annual revenue).

If companies hadn't appreciated the power of GDPR, they will this morning ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/…
Can't help but feeling that this is all building up enforcement against the internet giants. Facebook's annual revenue currently $55bn...
Also, bear in mind that the ICO has a two stage process. This is stage one, where the company has an opportunity to make further representations. Expect BA to robustly respond, and then probably challenge in the courts (given the size of the fine)

Important statement from Barry Gardiner. Seems to be say the Carter Ruck letter directly relates to the Panorama Investigation, which he says “has not been balanced and impartial” and people “involved in the NDAs” have “selectively” used correspondence /1
He says the investigation is a “very partial view” from members of staff who have an axe to grind. Why is this important? Because the Carter Ruck letter doesn’t mention Panorama. It says explicitly that it isn’t about antisemitism. /2
The only specific example it gives is from March 2019 and is about Derek Hatton (perhaps they forgot that was also about antisemitism timesofisrael.com/uks-labour-sus…)

Gardiner's interview appears to confirm that this letter was in some way motivated by the Panorama leaks /3

Nothing says 'we take our responsibilities to protect whistleblowers seriously' like a Carter Ruck letter
One thing which I have found useful in understanding why the Labour Party behave in surprising ways over this issue is to remember that there is a group who see themselves the victims of a conspiracy against them
So what from the outside seems to be bizarre behaviour has a kind of internal logic if you essentially believe you are fighting for your political lives against sinister forces. See also JVL, Chris Williamson, JC4PM etc

Sure! Make sure to also include the video where Percy explains why he's giving discovery to a non-party to share publicly 🙃

Also: if you picked "Screech and Percy are only in this for the grift money" in the betting pool, please see the cashier to collect your LOLbux

Here we go. Have a good day twitter. I hope not to see you again until about 12 hours from now. Maybe tomorrow.
I am still avoiding twitter and the news but I had to log on to share this quick. I'm 80 pages into the BS Mueller report and I laughed so freaking hard at Michael Cohen just randomly emailing Russian email accounts trying to find people to help him build Trump Tower Moscow 😂😂
Quick thoughts from the first 80 pages.

1)Old news boring bs for 99% of it
2)The Special Counsel trying to paint Trump as a bad guy in the summary, story time for the left
3)Assange apparently had no clue he was dealing with the Russians (Guccifer 2.0 and DC Leaks)
4)WITCHHUNT

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...

People glued their naked bums to the glass and had to be peeled off by the police and it was still wasn’t the stupidest thing that happened in Parliament today
Seemed weird at the time but now I look back at the time people glued their bums to parliament as a rare moment of sanity
It was just nice to see people who had made a decision. It wasn’t the best decision, they were going to glue their bums to the glass for a bit, but at least *something* got decided in Parliament.

Here. I can utterly prove my previous public defender violated every right, attacked me in court, goaded to, recommended even that I lash out at a judge, while actively aiding an investigation, again, violating every right I have.
He never submitted nor tried to authenticate texts from my sister, who was witness too, and IN THE PICTURES. SENT TO ME, DAYS BEFORE MY EX CRIED STALKER, ALL HE DID WAS TRY TO HURT ME, IN THE PROCESS WORKING WITH OUTSIDE PARTIES.

HELLO, internet, it is I, Twitter’s Chuck Wendig, to tell you some tales about THIS LADY.

This lady was my grandmother, Alice, aka, “Mom-Mom.”
(Sidenote, I love that "Mom-Mom" exists as a Grandma name. "I dunno, she's like, your Mom's Mom, which is double mom power, so I guess we'll just use caveman name stylings and go with MOM-MOM. Simple is good, shut up, Steve.")
Mom-Mom gave literally no shits. She would say whaaaatever she had on her mind. She was Classic Grandmother mode -- like, when my cousin and I were bored, she would hand us a jar of buttons to play with.

A JAR OF BUTTONS. Which is not a toy, and yet, there we were.
