I'm slightly surprised the offender didn't get a whole life order in this case (3 #murders using an illegally obtained #firearm) even though he was young, but he will remain in #prison for longer than I am likely to be alive!

I still think there's an anomaly with #sentencing for #murder in #England / #Wales - those who target people known to them seem to get get shorter #sentences than those who attack strangers

@kopper did we... have the same idea?

so the other day i was talking with a friend about how we could #Fix the #Hashtags in the #Middle #Of #Sentences problem if we just removed all of the #'s at the body of the post and moved them all to the very bottom

I'm all for audio books, but I don't really listen to them myself.

For me the act of reading is as important, maybe more, than the actual contents of the book. The eye wandering over the letters in my own pace, re-reading certain #words and #sentences, the ability to mark #pages and write notes in the margins: it's unique to the written word and the book as a #physical object.

You can't feel the paper or smell the #ink with an audio book. It's intangible, and ethereal in a way.
