What's remarkable about this article is that there's no mention of the police. No mention of a charge, an investigation, an arrest, even an interview www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rumour: "black males photographing children on Stanwix School Playground, causing problems for several weeks, loitering for extended periods, staring at staff...and intimidation" The truth?

At a campaign stop in Mobile on Tuesday, a journalist from Lagniappe Daily asked him about his promise to donate his Senate salary to Alabama veterans, a promise he never kept. It was an entirely reasonable question, one Alabama veterans have been asking for years. - Doug Jones Newsletter

This story went up late on Friday and got less attention than it otherwise might have done. A sentencing hearing on Friday was told three participants in the Tory election-betting scandal - dismissed at the time as "a flutter" - would have made nearly £50,000 if undetected www.ft.com/content/510e...

My utilities come to about £3,000 a year. Cruella claims £45,000 from us to pay for hers. And she'll no doubt be cheering on 'Honest' Bob's plans to cut welfare from those most in need.

A journalist follows the Bulgarian Parliament Speaker to ask why she has delayed a hearing over a controversial pardon. Dares to touch her door, so security violently assaults her, breaking her shoulder, giving her concussion and leaving her in hospital. What Democracy?
