I recall my dad being arrested in Spain following a 'fracas' with the German band who were playing in the hotel we were staying at. Our holiday was extended by about a fortnight as the Spanish authorities decided what to do with him. In the end they kicked him (and us) out of the country and he was told never to come back.
Judith Chalmers never mentioned that part of a Spanish holiday back in the 70's.
Gerges, chairman of contemporary Middle Eastern studies at London School of Economics, pointed out that French police - rather than anti-terror investigators - have made it clear that they are in charge of the case. He also stressed nothing was known publicly about the suspect’s profile or motivations.
This, he said, indicates that the attack is currently "not terrorist driven", although he did concede that it is important to "wait and see what the investigation shows".
However, some racialist and small time right-wing commentators did not wait for those inquiries to finish and quickly used the attack to pedal an anti-migration and anti-refugee narrative, Gerges warned.
Typed 'Annecy' into Twitter's search bar and many tweets are from right wing nutjobs who are more irate at not being allowed to show a video of toddlers being stabbed, than the fact that toddlers were stabbed. If it had been done by a French national, they wouldn't even have bothered mentioning it.
The suggestion that this Syrian is a Christian seems to have have left them completely confused. "He's about as Christian as Sunak is a British Tory" being one that stood out in particular.

Might stay off FB for a bit as Annecy is a bit close to where I am and I can't be bothered to read all the hate! Would rather wait to see what the Gendarmes actually say

I'm obviously missing something here, did Schofield do anything illegal?
Or is it just the same old people who hated the gays using another reason to hate the same people?
Plus, I've not seen Schofield on the box for yonks, so I guess it's outed the elderly and daytime TV watchers
If a nearly 60 year old bloke got a teenage girl a job on his show as a runner and then started having sex with her I'm pretty sure that would raise eyebrows too.
If he thought there was nothing wrong then why did he lie about it?
Why would he lie?
Isn't that standard procedure for anyone having an affair?
Bit weird and waay more of an age gap than I'd do but has he done anything illegal? You know, like Led Zep keeping an underage girl on a tour bus and only letting her out to hose the jiz out?
Or Bill Wyman with his 13 year old girlfriend who I can't remember the name of right now. Mandy Smith?
It's all a bit clutching at pearls isn't it?
From the above you implicitly condone behaviour like this on the basis that because it's been done before that makes it acceptable now.
Good grief.

Are you just being obtuse of are you genuinely that daft?
Did you miss the part where I said it was waay more of an age gap than I would be happy with?
Mind, I guess you've had a long spell of daytime TV to really become annoyed with Schofield.
I can see it now, paddling round the house in yer trollies looking like the Martians from Mars Attacks and winding yourself up.
Ugh, maybe better not.

The "age gap" is not the issue.

Dr Yadav refused to say whether he chose to take taurine supplements himself, for fear of unduly influencing people.
I'm sure a balanced diet is best, and I believe humans are are carnivores, so it makes sense that we are programmed to operate best with meat as well as veg!
My biggest issue with people saying meat is bad is that often they then choose to buy and eat veggies/milks that are flown half way around the world before being used. Surely that creates more bad 'fumes' than the herds of cows required to provide meat?!

President Trump indicted for walking on the grass. Apparently, several years ago, someone saw him walk on the grass outside the Whitehouse. While that's not illegal enough to stop him from running for President again, apparently when questioned, he did not admit to it which is close enough to lying for us and is therefore a serious breach of National Security.
So while President Biden has of course been walking on the grass, it was totally an accident and not a problem at all, same goes for everybody else who isn't Trump.
Due to the seriousness of the allegations, the DOJ will be seeking the death penalty.
