SPLASHDOWN!! On July 24th, 1969, we landed softly in the vast Pacific Ocean – and after eight humanity-changing days, our mission was complete. The great crew from the legendary U.S. Navy USS Hornet (CV-12) was there to see our prompt extraction from the deep! 56 years hence,

Still in July, and the final Test match of the English summer starts in two days. Two months of the summer left and school holidays have just started. It saddens me that they've squashed a fantastic series against India into six weeks to clear the way for The ****ing Hundred.

It’s not ok for fringe venues to cancel bookings for Jewish comedians because their staff allegedly feel “unsafe”. Racial & belief discrimination is unlawful. Here’s the link to the legal opinion which helped me fight my own cancellation two years ago. joannacherry.scot/stand

Well, having watched the last couple of days of the Peggie v NHS Fife tribunal, I have to say the word "witch hunt" feels more apt than ever. Grim tactics deployed by NHS Fife's counsel to try and undermine women's legal rights to female-only changing facilities at work.
