Steph Richards was chief executive and later parliamentary adviser to Endometriosis South Coast in Portsmouth, Hampshire."

Is that because so often it's just 2 people telling different versions, with no corroboration ?

I can't think how SOGgy missed the story about anti-vaxxer in chief RFK Jr stopping his car in the middle of a family trip so that he could cut the penis off a roadkill raccoon "to study later".

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyxp4q5k93o "Police investigating the rape of a woman by several men outside a church in Epsom say they have "not found any evidence" that the offence took place as initially reported............... Assistant Chief Constable for Local Policing Sarah Grahame said there was "no evidence that asylum seekers or immigrants were involved"."

I also think there is an expectation that they will win the semi and they are saving themselves for the final.

Which Saints player will Pep be coaching on the sideline ?

I like to check the source of unattributed text that is clearly not the original work of a poster. The clue was in the very first sentence you quoted, "Let's be very clear about what just happened". ( You hardly ever correctly attribute stuff you post ). As it is, what I posted is accurate, as Turkish has verified. It is also clear that your post was not a copy of the Forbes article, ( nor for that matter the Independant's reportage, or any other 'serious' journalistic output ). Whether that was actually your source, or some other SM bot, really doesn't matter. You wre doing exactly what you berate others for, blindly posting direct from random stuff that gets "pushed" to you.

I suspect he did ask, and was told "Yes, he passed".

The picture at the top of that article is brilliant. I have just read IFLA's latest post about Starmer's response to Trump - another excellent piece, and the expose of Justice Clarence Thomas is also very good. I'm not sure about that author's stance on the US, he seems quite ambivalent.

When looking for the source of the above text via GOOGLE, the first 2 items listed were the FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM accounts of Feminist News. ( This does not detract from the substance of the story which is mostly accurate ).

Careful, you will be joining the "Usual Suspects" next.

I do think he has a hair trigger with his posts.

No. Hegseth quoted a prayer used by the Search and Rescue team that recovered the crew of the downed F15E. The CSAR team, call sign Sandy1, have clearly adapted the Samuel L Jackson speech to their own ends, but Hegseth was merely quoting them, not the film; "They call it CSAR 25:17, which I think is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17. It reads — and pray with me please — ‘the path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of camaraderie and duty shepherds the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother, and you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee. Amen.”
