psmv6: Letby

Last year, I commented on the troubling Letby case a number of times, albeit usually in the margins of something else. Most of these comments can be found at reference 1.

While on Thursday, in Waitrose, I was surprised to see a lurid front page headline in the 'Sun' proclaiming gross miscarriage of justice. I wondered what sort of lurid headlines swinging the other way there had been over the years.

Neither Bing nor Google were terribly helpful, although they did offer the image at the top of this post, which I have lifted from Musk of all people. While in the snap above, the Mail and the Express are rather more prominent than the Sun. Maybe Murdoch, despite his love of revenue had lurking doubts? Twinges of conscience?

I stand aside to let someone else with more time to spare to look into to the Sun's record on the matter.

Just noting in passing that the attractiveness of the mug shots varies inversely with the stance being taken. Some of those accompanying miscarriage articles have her being really quite attractive.

And I remain glad that it is not up to me: I do not think I would sleep easy. With potus just whacking out an executive order on a whim, in the margins of some show at Large-on-Marr, not really being the right way forward.

Rather more cheerfully, I close with a trailer for DIY to come. All the rain we have been having has made our fine bifold garage doors stick, to the point where one might do oneself or the doors an injury opening and closing them.

So late yesterday afternoon, I readied the safety harness I use for taking down the heavier door. Minor adjustment needed. All ready for action later this morning. Maybe I will get to deploy the bench plane, which has not seen active service for a while?

A younger carpenter would no doubt spurn such contrivances, but I prefer to mitigate the risks involved in something that I do not do very often. While Blog search revealed in seconds that it was last deployed six years ago, on Christmas Eve of all days. I might say, that I have not had to touch that door since.

While outside, we had a fine view of Jupiter rising over the full - or perhaps fullish moon. I did notice a red tinge, but failed to draw the appropriate conclusion and had to check with reference 3.
