Watching This Life for the first time since it was is generating lots of feelings!
Last time I watched it I was a teenager and they seemed quite old and now they seem really young

That's for starters
But all the 90s stuff, Egg's Oasis poster, the Man United when they were good, the risqué then stuff which is common now... wow
I used to watch it in the late Friday night slot I think ?after Eurotrash. Was definitely something I didn't think I would enjoy but just couldn't stop watching
Have to admit I couldn't have cared less about the law stuff in it when I first watched it. Probably didn't know the difference between a barrister and solicitor (not that it's really made clear in the programme)

Two important developments today (thread):
1. Ben Wallace says that the "UK Visiting Forces Act... subjects US Department of Defence (DoD) personnel and their families to UK law."

The FCO in its response the Dunn family's Judicial Review said...
... "The Claimants appear simply to assume that, because the US personnel were physically based at RAF Croughton, the Visiting Forces Act 1952 must be the applicable piece of domestic legislation. There is no basis for that assumption".

Which government department is right?
2. Mail on Sunday reporting Anne Sacoolas was a CIA agent. If she was an *active* CIA agent based at Croughton then she would potentially fall under the waiver of immunity which was agreed for diplomats in a secret 1995 treaty between the UK/US. So no immunity for Harry's death

I appreciate that this sounds bad but it is pretty standard in public inquiries - encourages people to come forward. From memory it tends to be to the effect that prosecution can't happen solely on basis of evidence given to inquiry
I am not sure it will be as extensive as the Sky News tweets suggest - that the evidence can't be used at all in future criminal proceedings.
Here is the undertaking, it is in fact as extensive as suggested in the Sky News tweet assets.grenfelltowerinquiry.org.uk/inline-files/R…

All good tips. All I would add is to (8): "and judges in your cases"
True story, I got a message from a Supreme Court justice who thanked me for tweets about a case whilst it was happening. THEY READ TWITTER
Obviously this was one of the greatest moments of my sad little life

#NOW: Hundreds have taken to the Capitol steps demanding witnesses be allowed to testify in the Senate’s impeachment trial. Three warnings from the Capitol police are up and arrests are about to start. Leading them is Rev. William Barber.

#SwarmTheCapitol
The view from up top before the cops declared an unlawful assembly. Might be the first time I’ve seen an impeachment-related protest fill the whole approach to the Capitol’s east lawn. Though only a few dozen are risking arrest, the rest backed off.

#SwarmTheCapitol
Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution (aka the impeachment process) in gigantic banner form, unfurled in the shadow of the Capitol rotunda - and quickly seized by the police.

First time I watched Saturday Night Live in a long time & only watched their News Update. I was very surprised how they ripped Nadler & the Dems & were very light on Trump. It was actually funny last night.
By the way, I only watched the news portion of the show. I have no idea what the other parts of the show were like.
Here was the portion I saw. They ripped Trump a few times but didn’t really think it was vicious. Maybe I am just used to it by now.

Watching JURASSIC PARK for the first time in years and forgot how much I loved this John Williams score.

Also Laura Dern is so young! And Sam Neill looks so ridiculous with the red neckerchief!
Seriously, when they see the dinosaurs for the first time and the score swells—just an amazing moment.
Every single Jeff Goldblum line delivery is golden.
