So infuriating that the libel case is some sort of shorthand implying Jack is a noble and just person. Just because Hatie Popkins is an odious bigot, it doesn't therefore follow that Monroe is a hero.

Libel is usually a grubby business, especially in British courts, because of the way the law is framed in this country. Anyone who read the judge's ruling in the Monroe case would see that she doesn't come out of it well, even though she won the case. It was won on a principle of the law, as it stands, not because it was any sort of victory of good over evil.

And it was the legal costs that bankrupted Popkins. The actual award to Monroe of £24k was comparatively small, albeit huge for someone who claimed to be on the breadline.

I never really watched the DKL vids. But because I’m kicking about without much to do tonight I just opened one at random and skipped forward to a 9 minutes 17, i just picked a moment out of the air and if you listen she says “I’m a sardine”

🫣 amazing really. Do we know which absolute maniac was ultimately responsible for putting her on live telly?

I was in a relationship I hated for 15 years.

Toward the end I begrudged every exchange, every conversation, every social moment. I couldn’t summon the energy to go through the motions and felt like every word was forced out of my mouth.

I was Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins compared to forearms in this video here. His mouth is saying words but his eyes show he is dying inside.

Thank you, canal, for pointing out to me the "Experience" section of the Guardian.

I am BEGGING someone with better Photoshop skills than mine (not a high bar to clear) to do the necessary on this photograph. Maybe change some of the Dull Men's Club text to refer to, say, collecting sideboards.
