Richard Burrows: Paedophile who fled to Thailand 27 years ago jailed for 97 offences
A paedophile scout leader and school housemaster, who spent 27 years on the run using a stolen identity, has been jailed for 46 years for numerous sexual offences against young boys.
Richard Burrows, 81, systematically abused 24 boys across the Cheshire, West Midlands and West Mercia areas between 1968 and 1995.
In emails found after his eventual arrest, Burrows described “living in paradise” from 1997 after he fled to Thailand.
Earlier that year, he had been charged with a number of historical sex offences and was bailed but failed to attend a plea hearing at Chester Crown Court in December 1997.

She says she is misgendered all the time??
Can’t see it myself, even with short hair and a suit! Looks like a woman to me and sounds like one too..
What do you 🤔 think?

This government loses all credibility when it threatens cuts on this fund.
Such a small amount of money makes a huge difference for thousands of children. -
Do ordinary people appear in TV ads? (Edited)
As opposed to professional trained actors.
Have often wondered when the advert shows a family in the holiday ad, or the family visiting the furniture store, are they a real family or actors.
Turns out that some of the time they are just everyday families who have joined Casting agencies. Here's an example of an ad currently on GB News.

Putin is fighting a war of attrition.
The original frontal assault didn't work, because he gave Ukraine months of warning signs by moving troops into position, and testing the West's opposition to another "walk-in walkover".
Now he hasn't got enough manpower or weapon supply to finish the job.
Witness his nightly blitz isn't softening up Kiev, and its citizens.
Rather the opposite.
Solution.
Support Ukraine with every shell/missile/drone/plane the West can pour in.
Do it quicker than he can ship in arms.
The sources are known, cut them off wherever possible.
Get the Saudis and their money onside too.
Donald and his cronies will want to be in the huge re-building programmes in the years ahead.
Wars are mainly won by logistics.
But turn up the media volume too, and make sure the Russian people and army know Putin is an aging dictator whose days are numbered.
Putin cannot trust his generals, and they are already discussing who to replace him with, and when. -

MPs and peers call for Trump to be blocked from addressing parliament during UK visit?
Why?
As champions of democracy surely we can have no objection to Trump addressing Parliament.
All our MPs could watch, and say nothing.
Perhaps add in a few shots of our peerage fast asleep...

Does crushing up pills change their effectiveness?
These are pills for my dog. She gets a skin allergy in the summer. She has one pill per day divided into half in the morning and half in the evening.
In the morning I give her half the pill wrapped in a bit of cold meat. This week its liver sausage. I then starve her all day as my sister visits so we can have dinner together.
She has been volunteering to give the dog the other half pill hidden in her bowl of dog food. I would've just put the pill on top, pushed it in a bit and covered it. So the dog should eat it in the first mouthfull.
But she told me yesterday that she crushes the pill into powder and sprinkles it over the dog food before giving it one more mix to hide it. -
Star Trek fans will get this name coincidence.
I was watching the launch of Blue Origin on CNN earlier. It had the first all female crew. The presenter was talking to an Aerospace Analyst.

At least Boris has seen through Trump’s Peace Proposal
From a post on X
Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson
"Putin indiscriminately butchers more Ukrainian civilians, killing and injuring 100 in Kyiv including children. And what is his reward under the latest peace proposals?
1. The right to keep sovereign Ukrainian territory he has taken by violence and in breach of international law.
2. The right to control Ukraine’s destiny by forbidding Nato membership
3. The lifting of sanctions against Russia
4. An economic partnership with America.
5. The chance to rebuild his armed forces for the next attack in a few short years’ time.
As for Ukraine - what do they get after three years of heroic resistance against a brutal and unprovoked invasion? What is their reward for the appalling sacrifices they have made - for the sake, as they have endlessly been told, of freedom and democracy around the world?
Apart from the right to share their natural resources with the United States they get nothing.
What is there in this deal that can realistically stop a third Russian invasion? Nothing.
If we are to prevent more atrocities by Putin then we must have a long term, credible and above all properly funded security guarantee for Ukraine - a guarantee issued by the UK, the US and all western allies."

Trumpski is scheduled to visit our wonderful country, meet the King, PM and address our democratic Parliament. It would be much more in the realms of sanity to invite Vladimir Putin, a man of great experience, power and intelligence, than that dictatorial, nutty, vandalising old tosspot. IMO its disgusting.
