And we have (some) ppl who ignore their dog's mess & when politely asked to pick it up become aggressively rude

Jane Furniss @mjanef.bsky.social · Sep 4

Goodness; hadn't come across this problem. Dog poo left (including actually in bags) is a revolting, regular problem in so many places

Peter Walker's Peace Doves Sculpture @ Southwark Cathedral is worth a visit. And you maybe lucky to be greeted by Hodge. And if all else fails coffee & pastries are 1st class

S/he looks as if they're shrugging themself into a coat, feeling rather grumpy about the morning

These are funny precisely because we all know we've made these sorts of silly/funny mistakes ourselves. Not the least bit cruel, imo

All shared with 5 lovely friends I met thanks to 'old Twitter'

Reforms to the way sexual assault cases are prosecuted and tried in the courts of England and Wales are recommended in a report today by the government’s reform advisers. Listen here to my interview with the criminal law commissioner, Professor Penney Lewis.

We were just about to eat our supper outside when there was a crash of thunder, followed by a brief downpour. 1/2 a rainbow appeared & then the cloud lifted & the whole beautiful bow was revealed #Yorkshire

Beautiful first this morning #Yorkshire

Superbly written, detailed account of this extraordinary case @joshuarozenberg.bsky.social
Well worth a read for those who care about both privacy/security of those at risk of harm and responsible journalism/free speech. And demonstrates how impressive are our senior judges

When Mr Justice Chamberlain lifted the first super-injunction ever granted contra mundum (“against the world”) at 12 noon yesterday, news outlets published instant and highly detailed coverage. Many hundreds of journalists must have known about the data breach
