"The journey is the thing" which is from Homer (not Simpson😅) I think?

Yes travel is a great idea. The sea features a lot in Greek mythology. Amphitrite: The Queen of the Sea. She was married to some bloke called, what's his name, oh yeah,.Poseidon.

The Odyssey is topical with it's woke casting

I really don't understand all the uproar about that. It isn't that far from Greece to the shores of North Africa. It's perfectly plausible there would have been contact.

Wait until they hear about the brown David Copperfield.

I loved that film!

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/may/26/one-in-five-people-arrested-over-2024-riots-have-since-been-reported-for-domestic-abuse

From that article -

Police data released under freedom of information (FoI) laws shows that 21% of 949 people arrested for taking part in the violent disorder have been reported for crimes associated with intimate partner violence since August 2024.

For individuals arrested by Cumbria police, this figure was as high as 54%.
Offences for which alleged rioters have since been reported include common assault, controlling and coercive behaviour, breach of domestic violence protection notice and injunctions, threats to kill, actual bodily harm, and criminal damage.
The Guardian previously revealed that two out of every five arrested for participating in the riots had been the subject of a domestic abuse report before their involvement in the public disorder.

Just concerned citizens keeping women and girls safe

At least they are consistent.

Consistently unfashionable

Sorry - you mean keeping are women and girls safe ...

Well women make the excuse of being raped to get an abortion. Women don't need an 'excuse' to get an abortion in the UK.

I have just watched the first 2 episodes of 'Two weeks in August', and get it now 😂

I’d assumed Farage had already reported his hack to the appropriate authorities because why wouldn’t you? But no. https://bsky.app/profile/theguardian.com/post/3mmug3xhb2x24
