There's been another bit of a hanky panky going on at the BBC it seems, or maybe not. BBC suspends presenter for allegedly paying teen for sexually explicit photos. ....The Sun newspaper, which first reported the allegations, cited the young person's mother as saying the unnamed male presenter had paid the teenager more than 35,000 pounds ($67,177) over three years for the images..... Or is it just a case of a young girl getting an early start into the "Fans Only" fad a tad early? Lawyer for teen involved in BBC presenter allegations denies claims. .....The lawyer for the young person has said the claims are "rubbish". |

Froman erlier report: Media lawyer Mark Stephens told BBC Breakfast the investigation has a "long way to go" yet, and "it does appear that even the police don't think that there was an obvious criminal offence having been committed". IIRC, in an even earlier report it was stated that the mother & daughter are "estranged". Now the stepdad has provided a different account to his 1st. IMV, the parents have their own agenda. |

From hero to zero, the big fellow turns out to be a murdering lying loser and may yet have to front the ICC in The Hague as he puts in an unwinnable appeal against his latest loss. Ben Roberts-Smith to appeal after losing landmark defamation case. The disgraced Australian soldier has filed an appeal after losing a lawsuit against several media outlets he claimed portrayed him as a war criminal. Don't get to attached to those awards and medals Benny. |

PwC is back in the news and again it's not good as rival Deloitte reveals a case as well. PwC reveals second incident after tax avoidance matter rocks firm. It's about time that the experts were again employed by the public service itself and not these foreign owned companies that we just can't seem to trust. While at the BBC. Huw Edwards named as BBC presenter caught up in nude pictures scandal. |

Seeing as I don't know where to stick this lot I'll stick it here. First up it looks like Mini Me's MAGA RINO state has a big problem, insurance companies can't pull out of there fast enough. Farmers Insurance is leaving its business in Florida. AAA pulls back from offering insurance in Florida, following Farmers. They're not the first to do so and may not be the last either and is it because Mini Me is building his own personal army? 'The program got hijacked': Vets revolt over DeSantis' 'militaristic' State Guard. Then there's the human trafficking that Mini Me and The Mad Abbott of Texas are involved in. Florida AG warns DOJ against investigating migrant flights. Third bus of migrants arrives in Los Angeles from Texas. While The Mad Abbott of Texas is also deploying his little army where it's not wanted as well as those silly orange buoys. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott deploys additional state troopers to Austin after city suspends partnership. Texas lawmakers say Abbott’s buoy barrier system is dangerous, might violate international law. As another of Donny's moronic soldiers gets time to contemplate their moronic stupidity. Woman accused of attacking police during Capitol riot sentenced to six years in prison. |

Well the U.K. becomes the 1st new member of the CPTPP, but China will likely not make the cut. Trans-Pacific trade pact members gathering information on aspiring partners as UK joins the group. Members of a major trans-Pacific trade pact have said they were gathering information on China, Taiwan and other countries interested in joining the agreement to see whether they were able to meet the group's "high standards".And I very much doubt that China can (or will) make the grade on their current course. |

Deloitte now faces the Senate inquiry into the "PwC tax scandal". Deloitte CEO tells Senate committee into integrity his work is not worth his $3.5m salary. The CEO of one of Australia's major consulting firms has admitted to a Senate committee his position is not worthy of a salary seven times that of the prime minister's. |

An analysis into How the big four accounting firms infiltrated governments, earning more than $10b over a decade while taxpayers are left in the dark. Looks like EY, Deloitte, KPMG and PwC all need to be dropped from all government contracts all around the world. |

It was Ernst and Young's turn this time, but he reckons that his salary is fair. CEO of EY Oceania confirms his salary is five times bigger than Anthony Albanese’s. |

It looks like Deloitte has more to answer for. Senator calls for Deloitte to face fresh grilling over claims ex-partner David Milo shared military documents. A federal senator says reports of a former Deloitte partner leaking confidential defence documents demonstrate the "threat" consulting firms pose to Australia. |

I've noticed that in the U.S. some universities have been accused of being racist over their admission policies. But could it just be that certain races are not studying the right subjects in high school? An interesting observation in the US, in high school maths is taught in sections such as Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Calculus etc. It has been observed that in high school, Calculus has been completed by: 46 percent of Asian, 18 percent of white students, 9 percent of Hispanic students, 6 percent of Black students, of high school graduates, When the universities haven't been, it's just the applicants have not gained the right subjects to study maths, science and engineering. |

It would be interesting to see the comparison between STEM & non-STEM subjects for the various ethnic groups, and then plot that against "aspirational subject" at university. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Now this would have to be 1 of the most stupidest cases the U.S. has going. 'Top Gun' pilot speaks from his Australian prison cell as he fights extradition to the US for allegedly training Chinese pilots. ......The accusations against Mr Duggan stem from his work between 2010 and 2012 as an instructor at the Test Flying Academy of South Africa.It just seems like they're looking for scapegoats again. |

Georgina has a bit to explain from ripping off partners as well as her children after all her years of greed and trying to stop these cases going to court. Gina Rinehart knew Hope Downs iron ore mines were a partnership deal, WA Supreme Court told. Fancy, a woman so greedy that she'd even dud her kids out of their well overdue inheritance. |

Prosecutors say a Chicago man stabbed his girlfriend up to 150 times, killing her as she visited his house with their two young children on Monday. After 8:30 p.m. Monday, Chicago’s 911 center received several calls from (his) phone number from a man who kept saying, “it’s a bad day ever.” But the man could not provide an address. |

I hope that this lowlife sicko gets all he deserves while serving his time. Castration would not be enough for this 1. Childcare worker’s alleged link to ‘Love Zone’ dark web paedophile network as man is charged with 1623 child abuse offences. The slime bag is already serving 35yrs in jail for child sexual abuse cases between January 2011 and June 2014, he'll certainly be getting a long extension added onto that. |
