Yeah what a piece of shit. And when he claimed he still loves her...

Huge news in France. Heavily reported here too.
The woman has become quite the feminist hero for her response.
Horrid crime from the husband but great showing in court where he said yes I am a rapist and so are all those other guys.

I mean, I am not sure what the great showing is. Facing overwhelming evidence he decided to admit guilt.

He's going to be spending life in jail either way.
Making sure the others go down with him though was a moment of good behaviour.

Jeez.
He knows his audience I guess.

In other news read a football related article the other day, about Jobe Bellinghams relationship with Jude.
Apparently since they're both young guys they need their parents around, so they've worked something out where their mam spends most of her time in Madrid with Jude whilst their dad moved to Sunderland with Jobe.

Cant help but think one parent really got the better deal there.

Yes - and add it to his repertoire of after dinner anecdotes. I wouldn't ever believe Boris Johnson's recollection of events as it will have been, at best, shaped.

Puts me in mind of when the waiter as a chain restaurant asks you "is everything OK?"
Instantly question why they're asking this. It's weird. Something is clearly not ok and you've just failed to notice it yet.

  I was told it is prevent people from eating 9/10 of a meal then sending it back to the kitchen.

After first learning of his existence this week I think torsten Bell is becoming a new favourite journalist/politician

I found this one today really interesting. So obvious when you think about it... Yet broadly we don't. We just accept the superiority of the Mediterranean diet (a myth) first hand.
