Wait until Deep Fakes get just that bit better.
This country is going to be an increasingly miserable place to live in for the foreseeable future.
That's like cautionary advert showing the before and after effects of krokodil.
Hogan Lovells has suspended a partner after he was caught using his work computer to look at porn.
The partner, who works in Hogan Lovell's London office, did not fall foul of his IT department. Instead he was dobbed in by a lawyer working for another firm across the street.
On Monday morning a lawyer with Irwin Mitchell, whose London office is separated from Hogan Lovells by a narrow lane, looked out of their window and straight into the partner's office. Sources told RollOnFriday that the Irwin Mitchell lawyer was shocked to see the Hogan Lovells partner watching porn at his desk, with his back to the window.
The IM lawyer filmed the absorbed partner on a mobile phone, sources told RollOnFriday, and sent the footage to Hogan Lovells lawyers. It then made its way to the firm's HR. The partner has now been suspended.

The news today that 14 high street shops are closing every day is consistent with the dramatic switch to online shopping.
My youngest son and his partner have pre paid for their two children to visit Santa at the local farm shop's xmas fayre only to discover the farm shop has gone into administration and they have to join the list of creditors to get their money refunded.
Many people buy store voucher and gift cards for xmas presents but maybe giving the cash direct is a safer option in this climate

Mind you, a friend of mine who used to work for HMCTS (better not say where) once had to suspend half her staff for sharing dick picks on their work PCs.
It's not 50:50 fault.
Don't get the service/item you paid for the credit card company will refund you.
The clubcard points are also a bonus.
Slaughter and May are my first choice, I loved writing emails/messages asking for S&M.
On this particular one, foreseeable is therefore a fairly lengthy period.
In any event O'Rourke has to get past rather more competition than Warren (though it's true they would be competing for a similar part of the Democratic base).
One evening, around 10pm, my other half looked out of the window to see the co-founder alone in the office, ahem, engrossed in his screen. The window sill was mercifully high but there could be no doubt what he was doing.
The conversation the next day was an interesting one.

The referendum vote was not called illegitimately and it is hyperbolic to say so. Whether it was wise is quite another matter.
What is a real issue is whether the campaign on the Leave side broke laws and was funded illegitimately or otherwise behaved in a way which calls into question the fairness of the vote. I am seriously bothered by suggestions that there might well have been serious jiggery pokery on that front. And that alone should make us question whether we should proceed on the basis of a vote which may have been illegitimately obtained.
Regardless of that I would now like a vote on whether to proceed since, as @BeverleyC put it yesterday, we now know what we are likely to be facing, in a way that we didn't back in 2016. I would like my chance to vote on whether we should proceed with Brexit or Remain. And I would like this chance before we leave.
However, this seems unlikely. Alas.
If we do leave, I am not at all sure - for reasons which I may explore in a header if I have time - that we will quickly rejoin. But it may be sensible to stay close to the EU to give us that option should that be the country's choice. I suspect that it will take a long time for the country to make that choice and to do it in a way which will give the UK the best chance of making a success of membership the next time. And that's without taking into account the EU's views and events, generally.
He was. He had a new girlfriend. He shared a flat with others with thin walls and wanted more privacy for his intimate moments with her. So he decided to treat the office as his love nest. Quite what his girlfriend made of this I don't know. We didn't have shag pile carpets in our offices. But we gave him the address of the local Travelodge.
He shared dick pics and the like from his work mobile phone.
I had to go through his mobile phone and catalogue each one.
Then I found the videos on his phone.
If it could shock me, you know these were on the extreme end of the scale.
So I called in the solicitors to take over the case.
I'm in trouble now, aren't I.......
(Mike: sorry.)

One day I'll be able to say the following sentence without giggling.
'63 Earths can fit in Uranus'
"Maybe that's one reason why the Republic died. It gorged itself on elections."
The bribery and litigation seem very modern.

I’ve been to many counts in this country and there’s a real bonhomie at counts.
Only two incidents I can recall is some BNPers kicking off about having to share a stage with non whites and a Kipper determined to have every rejected ballot accepted.
It isn’t until you go to counts you realise how many people sign their ballot paper and/or put their address on it.
Waiting. Waiting... here we go. Oh, my mistake. We got 7 interviews with a far right leader framed about how we should hear all sides of the debate and reach out to racists instead.
You see it here too. SNP supporters, Brexiters, Remoaners, Corbynites, trans activists, 50-something women aggrieved about losing their pensions and Liberal Democrats can now each immerse themselves in an online world of their own, untroubled by alternative views or analyses. That reinforces their beliefs and keeps them further from pungent opposition.
Only the voting system keeps the two party system going here.
Any thoughts?
Ultimately, while I appreciate that ardent Brexiteers aren't particularly happy with May's impression of Inspector Clouseau, but she's likely to deliver something that most voters will accept. Personally, I'd be happy to see a GE or second referendum; as long as our processes are followed, why not?
That sounds like they know *exactly* what the origins were but are embarrassed to admit it publicly
Am I the only person who’s a little uncomfortable with the behaviour of the IM lawyer?

It's possible that, once Brexit has happened, fragmentation will resume. It depends whether a new settled status quo is established.
I wonder how many 100s hours of meeting, focus groups and marketing executives it took to come up with the name?
*or rather, lacking even a basic understanding of how my country is governed.
