If the attacker is a regular character, it will make it too easy for George never to face up to the consequences of his words and actions - previous behaviour suggests he’ll lean into his victim status #TheArchers

It’s what George says that is at least as awful as what he does. I presume tonight’s crack to Brad about how not everyone can be an ‘alpha’ is a reference to the incel culture which has had such a powerful influence on him? #TheArchers

I decided that over my Christmas break I would re-watch the three parts of The Lord of the Rings. Part 1 viewed today. My, what a great story, and film. Looking forward to the next two instalments.

George may have paid his debt to society via prison, but that’s different from restoring relationships with people he’s hurt. He doesn’t see the difference, or understand that forgiveness cannot be demanded #TheArchers

@dunnettcentral.bsky.social I’m just re-reading the HoN (currently on SoG). I don’t recall Nicholas having a cat…?
"A man blessed with a concerned doctor, a dedicated counselor, a wise priest, a few good friends, and a great love in his life can overcome much. But a man with all of those and a marvelous cat can really cover a lot of distance."
