In the aftermath of the Christian #Eriksen incident during the #Denmark versus #Finland #Euro2020 game, Danish TV and media are highlighting the actions of team captain Simon Kjaer.

1/-.
@jdpoc it was Kjaer who cleared Erickson’s airways, ensuring his tongue was not blocking his breathing, and placed him in the recovery position.

2/-.
@jdpoc It was also Kjaer who called for paramedics as well as team physios, instantly recognising the seriousness of the problem.

3/-.
@jdpoc And it was Kjaer who was first to Ericsson‘s wife, and spent most time with her in consolation and support.

4/-.
@jdpoc Whoever wins this #Euro2020, it looks like a Kjaer is already the winner. There is a very good chance that he significantly contributed to saving Erickson’s life.
@jdpoc I’m not that big a football fan, and to be honest I hadn’t even heard his name before tonight. Perhaps neither had you.

You won’t forget him now, will you?

5/5.

Neo Nazi Andrew Dymock found GUILTY of 12 offences under Terrorism Acts.

Convicted at the Old Bailey, sentencing 24 June.

During trial he came up with the craziest, most unhinged 'defence' arguments ever heard in a British Court.

Nobody fell for it.

buff.ly/3vjw6tc
Jurors were told he was not being prosecuted for holding racist, anti-Semitic or homophobic beliefs, or adherence to a neo-Nazi creed.

"He is facing prosecution for his encouragement of terrorist activity, of violence, as a means to shape society in accordance with his beliefs."
39.

39 Neo Nazis / White Supremacists / Far Right Extremists arrested, charged or jailed under the Terror Acts so far in 2021.

The total for 2020 was 42 for the whole year.

Security Services have finally woken up to their responsibilities.

Late night tech tip that I’ve just discovered :

if you’re thinking of installing some OCR software on your iOS or Android, don’t. I’ve just been playing around with Google Lens, which is built into Google Photos.

So if you have a Gmail address, you already have it.
@jdpoc … And Google Photos with Lens seems to outperform a lot of specialised OCR applications.

Text at an angle with reflections? No problem. Image
@jdpoc Some text is straight and the rest is curved? No problem. Image

This seems to have rattled a few cages, so I'm reposting.

In light of Daily Express today using Karl Sikora as it's go-to 'medical expert', this from January 2020 ...

"The Right Wing's Favourite 'Crazy Scientist' - Professor Karol Sikora"

Sikora :

"Coronavirus might just 'fizzle' out'" (No-one else thought so)

"There will be no second wave" (after the first wave. We're now on the 3rd Wave.) Image
"We'll be 'virtually back to normal' by August" (We weren't)

"A vaccine will not be ready by Xmas" (It was)

"Restrictions should be eased for the festive period" (Led to increased infections in January) Image

The only way to capture this wonderful mural in #Tolworth was panorama mode.

Any further back I'd have gone over the barrier and landed 80 feet below on the fast lane of the A3 ...

Original image was 30,000 pixels wide. ImageImageImage
.. and this one is at the entrance to #Tolworth Station.

Excellent, very detailed article on Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s (aka Tommy Robinson) predominantly American funding, the numerous sources, Trump links, his channelling to Russian accounts - and his fear of losing it all in the Libel case.

buff.ly/3dXxwV3 Image
New York Times:

"In many ways, Mr. Robinson is now useful to the Kremlin — which has often encouraged fringe political figures who might destabilize Western democracies — for the same reasons he was welcome in Mr. Trump’s Washington."

New York Times:

Now that Trump is out of office and the American money is drying up, Robinson is turning to Moscow.... did a media tour of Russia last year but associates told The NYT that ... his agenda was to seek accounts with Russian banks.

If you’re a #LineOfDuty Fan you might of heard about the QR code Easter egg.

Here is a summary, nothing much in the way of spoilers, but there is a handful of videos on YouTube which go into more detail if you really want to go that route.
@jdpoc A few weeks ago a few people were posting cryptic messages connecting #LineOfDuty with a QR code. It took folks quite a while to find it without guidance but it’s there on the magazine cover which highlighted the murdered journalist.
@jdpoc Some people have had more technical skills than me and have screencappec this QR code, cleaned it up, and scanned it which takes you to a website which give you this:
