Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

One night is quite bad enough, but now we have to put up with it for a whole bloody week?

[True JK, but if you are exposed to almost anything* on the BBC, it seems to be there.

*To be fair, I don't think it has cropped up in tonight's BBC Scotland Partick Thistle vs Queens Park game.]

The justice system

13 men accused of serious child sex allegations all pleaded not guilty. And this is the timetable. Imagine the impact for the victims of having this hanging over you for years and knowing that your attacker is living in the next street.

"The case will come back before the court on October 6 this year for a further case management hearing, while the trials have been set for September 23, 2024 and January 20, 2025.

Until then then defendants have been granted bail on terms including that they stay at their addresses and that they have no contact with any girls under 16-years-old, other than is unavoidable in the course of daily life.

They have also been warned not to have any co-association with each other or contact with the alleged victims and to stay away from an address in Blackrod."

Lancashire Telegraph

(Obvious caveat that innocent until proven guilty.)

[ Shocking isn't it XB - I was listening to the radio last night about long term backlogs for courts and barristers. There has been a real-terms budget cut to the justice system of 33% over the 2010 to 2020 decade. ]

People who are 7 foot tall standing at the front of the viewing platform (and spreading their arms out on the rail so they take up three times as much space there) so that nobody else has a hope of seeing anything.
And then shoot filthy looks at anyone daring to brush against them.

"Please find attached the amended exam timetable for Sian for exam season Summer Public 2023. Please check the room that you are in and make sure that you sit in the correct seat."

I've just checked every minute detail, and it is IDENTICAL to the previous one.
