Stephen Strang has repeatedly characterised Bakker's predatory (and possibly coercive) sex with Jessica Hahn as "a fling with a secretary" and Bakker has tried to create a false narrative that his conviction has been overturned charlotteobserver.com/living…

In terms of SLAPPs it is easier and cheaper to game Plod with a trivial or vexatious harassment allegation than to wave libel lawyers around, this has been a problem for some time.

Are we sure it was a human, though?

Oh wow televangelist Jim Bakker died. Here's me singing my cringey original song on his show when I was 18 youtu.be/hf7TljqrULM?is=DYoE…

The late Jim Bakker with some balloons.

What better way to celebrate the apocalypse than by throwing on a tuxedo and feasting on one of Jim Bakker's "Banquet Buckets"? h/t @RightWingWatch cc: @VicBergerIV

Any old jailbirds wth surnames starting with "C" feeling nervous?

Televangelist Jim Bakker died Monday at age 86, his wife said. Bakker rose to fame with his first wife, Tammy Faye, in the 1970s and 80s, preaching the gospel of wealth. They built a multi-million-dollar religious empire before losing it to financial and sex scandals.

So very saddened to hear the news of composer George Fenton's passing. He leaves a wonderful legacy of glorious film and television scores - Shadowlands, Memphis Belle, Bergerac - to name just a few. Deepest condolences to his loved ones. RIP George Fenton CBE

There is no confirmation that this is even plague, but if it is, there are zero indications that it is a bioweapon. This woman has no relevant expertise besides writing wildly implausible pneumonic plague lab leak fiction. This interview is an ad for it.

The guy in the orange jacket is Prof Angus Dagleish. He owns a rival COVID-19 vaccine (Biovacc-19 / Immunor AS) & is a Medical Director of LDN Pharma, an alternative cancer therapy company, and happily encourages people like Babs to call the NHS murderers. Makes you think..🤔

Not true. Fiona Bruce and the team have always made clear that Question Time has robust vetting procedures in place. Everyone who applies to be in the audience is interviewed and has to provide links to their social media accounts. If they don't - they don't get in.

Why is a post about the Battle of Cable Street not instead about Oswald Mosley's political history? It must be because "Sadiq", being Muslim, needs a "British history lessson" from one of the bad actors who makes you feel smart these days. Yes, that must be it.

I do not know enough about the Letby case to speak with any real authority as to the medical side of the debate. However when it comes to motive, lack of discernible motive is not the same as motiveless. Motive can be extremely difficult to gauge and extrapolate particularly with Offenders who have little or nothing to gain by revealing it. People's emotional in er landscape is often far richer than it is ever possible to know through inference of their actions. Certainly in my own role within Policing I will regularly deal with individuals who have comitted truly heinous crimes with no outward sign they had such proclivities (clearly there are quite alot who displayed obviously concerning behaviour). In the absence of any clear motive it's often reasonable to start from the perspective that an offender committed an action simply because they wanted to. Because it made them feel happy, or powerful or thrilled them (often with sexual connotations). Desire in one form or another is the most common and oldest motive there is. There doesn't neccessarily need to be any greater motivation in my experience.
