Yesterday, a court in #Jersey, selected by the British Government (!) because it would sit without a jury, refused to convict peace activist, Nathalie strecker.
In one of the most Orwellian cases imaginable, she was charged under terrorism offences - a vocal and well known pacificist, note - and a British Government paid QC directed the Jersey Government's prosecution. WTAF???

There is a thing called Hook and Ring Toss, also known as Tiki Toss or Bimini Ring Toss.
I know this because once when my son was 11 or 12 or so, we were walking down a beach on our summer hols and he said "Dad, play this!" and he showed me a ring on a string attached to a post and pointed at the hook.
I took aim, nailed it, first try.
I have never played this game with him since, and every time he asks me to I take great joy in reminding him I have a 100% success record.

The British isle with its own language.
The UK entered WW2 on 3 September, 1939. Eighty years after the war's end, few people know that a British island's unique language was used as a clandestine code during Nazi occupation.
