So does the gov.uk website

I thought it was a strange thing to say, so I've got a bit of a bee in my bonnet. The speech must have been carefully drafted and to let that through must have been deliberate (barring a "mis-speak", which would seem to be ruled out). A bit of subliminal going on - despite the praising of the emergency services? (I could accept "the public sphere" or "public life".)



Edited to add a "the"

Is Theresa May going to relay her "disappointment" to Donald Trump after his comments about Sadiq Khan?

Oh, here we go -

23s ago 15:29
Trump 'ill-informed', says Sadiq Khan's spokesman

Downing Street has issued a fairly bland statement responding to what President Trump has been saying attacking Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, over his response to the London Bridge attack. (See 12.35pm.) It is supportive of Khan, but does not criticise the president. (Guardian Live, my emphasis)

I like the public sector, mostly.
I don't care for Tory politicians very much but it's not their public sector status bothering me.
Tory isn't a nice political party.

"BBC News special" tonight. (A Farron/Sturgeon debate has been postponed for it, by the way)

She's won.

I think it is a clumsy reference to the Prevent strategy, which if you have my job you'll have come across.

Prevent is boring and no doubt largely ineffectual, but seems to me the only serious attempt we've made to change hearts and minds. I can't see what the alternative to it or something like it is.

Burnham's remarks about it were stupid at the time, and now look ridiculous. Because Burnham has no judgement.

Guess what the 4th most watched video on the BBC website is?

It's only Kuenssberg's formally censured shoot-to-kill interview with Corbyn.

Unamended. Unedited. With accompanying text that still misrepresents him.

Editorial in the Indy - "Keir Starmer is the right person to negotiate Brexit". A certain person who has just posted may be interested, at least

Yes, I couldn't believe that earlier. CCHQ have been busy.

Theresa May gaffes rattle the rightwing press

A former Metropolitan Police chief has accused the government of "lying" about the number of armed officers on the streets, during an interview in the wake of the London terror attack.

Peter Kirkham, a chief inspector between 1981 and 2002, claimed that the Met was "in crisis" in an interview with Sky News, saying the "extra" officers on the streets were actually officers putting in 16-hour shifts or working on "rare leave days".

Tories = chaos.
As ever.

"This Government and Theresa May in particular have been criminally negligent with the safety of the public, and they are getting away with it because of the opposition."
