I’m not a nurse

If early release can be altered so as to exempt homicide offences, it should be. Prisoners who have caused the gravest harm should be among the last to benefit from the overcrowding crisis. But carving out exceptions for individual prisoners in response to media campaigns is weak and unprincipled.

I had the MOST boring dream ever last night. I was sitting outside a Boots reading a news story about the lack of variety in shops (5 types of chicken curry, three types of mushroom nail varnish) for consumers. Whilst true, how very dull of my subconscious

Mollie Evershed & Anyta Field died #OTD in 1944. Their story is a sublime epic of professional composure & ferocious #bravery, as these 2 nurses repeatedly plunged into the pitch-black, burning belly of a sinking ship to rescue 75 soldiers before being claimed by the sea. #WWII (1 of 3)🧵

A side-by-side composition features two distinct black-and-white portraits of World War II military nurses. On the left, Sister Mollie Evershed (1915–1944) is shown from the chest up, facing the camera with a serene, slight smile. Her dark hair peeks out from beneath a traditional white nursing headscarf that tightly frames her face and drapes over her shoulders. She wears a white pinafore with a wide, starched white collar. The image has a soft, vintage texture with a neutral background. On the right, Matron Dorothy Anyta Field (1911–1944) is captured from the chest up, angled slightly to the left while looking gently toward the viewer. She has short, neatly parted dark hair and wears round, dark-rimmed eyeglasses. She wears a structured white nurse's cap, a crisp white collar over her darker uniform, and a light-colored face mask pulled down to rest below her chin. Her expression is calm and professional against a simple studio backdrop. Both women served in the Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service. They tragically lost their lives on August 7, 1944, after their hospital ship, the SS Amsterdam, struck a mine off the coast of Normandy. They refused to abandon ship, successfully saving 75 wounded men before going down with the vessel. They are remembered as the only two women among the 22,442 individuals under British command who died during the Battle of Normandy.

Rather concerningly, the lawyer for the Tate brothers has confused “extradition” with “execution”. Young lawyers note - be careful not to do this in court.

I have enormous sympathy with people angry that the political vandalism of our prison system is forcing the (even earlier) release of prisoners. It is a scandal. But deciding who does and does not get released on the basis of the volume of public outcry at their crime is the road to madness.

When we ultimately embrace the Mediterranean lifestyle/succumb to global warming will it include workplaces, factories etc closing during the hottest part of the day for a few hours and the whole month of August? You know, like they do in the Mediterranean?
