[Is this for real?]
I’ve always quite liked James Bond. The whole thing is a silly romp. However, I’ve watched my last one.
Lashana Lynch, the first female 007: ‘I never had a plan B’
If they wanted to make a film about a black, female secret agent, then that’s fine. Create a character and plot and off you go. I might even have watched it. However, as with Dr Who, they are hijacking an existing character and fictional world and twisting it to suit their political purposes. I will not enable this behavior by watching the outcome, just as I refused to watch the black Anne Boleyn drivel. I very much doubt I’m alone.

10. Haiku
a. [Good to see the esteemed haiku caught up with this one we ran late last week]
b. [No url on this but who needs it?]
The incoming head of the UK's data watchdog has "gone on the record" to say he will be fair and impartial in his dealings with tech companies despite once describing Facebook as "morally bankrupt pathological liars."[UK govt has a mortgage on truth of course.]
9. The Slog does not trust Boris
Whyever not? Just ask Dari Guppy - fine chap. Anyway, to Carrie on:
The centrepiece of this new Freedom U-Turn is the decision to 'scrap' vaccine passports to get into venues. Now, scrap is what a car becomes when it is no longer fit for purpose....except when it's a Covid19 measure: because in this case, 'However, the proposal will be kept “in reserve” should there be a surge in Covid cases in the autumn and winter. Companies will also be allowed to adopt them if desired.' So vps have been scrapped, minus only the scrapyard outcome.
