Unearthed records show that Vivek Ramaswamy listed an Ohio residence to register as an Ohio voter and a New York residence to register as an attorney in New York. Ramaswamy may be committing class 5 felony voter fraud if he is voting in a district where he does not live.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the UK Parliament voting *unanimously* to strip Philip Green of his Knighthood. He bought BHS in 2000 and took £420m from it in "dividends" over 15 years. Inevitably, it collapsed in 2015 leaving a £570m hole in the pension fund. He still has his knighthood – WHY?

What was it that kept Bergerac so busy for 10 years then?"

After my elderly father had a heart attack in 1985, I went to collect him and drive him home from the hospital. In the car he was reading a leaflet "Life after your heart attack" when he suddenly burst out laughing. "It says here you can have sex once a week, just wait till I tell your mother".
