Very proud of @StrathForensics graduate Anna for her presentation at the @CharterForSci conference, showcasing her MSc research project

At our #Forensicconference ! #charteredsociety

Here’s me receiving an outpouring amount of affection during the “day of love”—January 6, 2021.

‘Collaboration- the cornerstone of Forensic Science’ great knowledge share day with @wlv_uni @WestMidsFire @FCNnetwork working together on validation/research on accelerant detection methods 🕵️‍♀️🔥@CharterForSci 🤝

Poor, pathetic, incompetent little @Ofwat has released its annual appraisal of WC's performance, as you'd expect it's grim. Major pollution incidents up, customer satisfaction down, sewer flooding up, drinking water quality down, leakage up and on and on. Another annual litany of failure, that's what 35 years of regulation get you. Nothing!

Always a pleasure to write a blog and I can't wait til the @CharterForSci conference (there is still time to get your ticket!)

At ⁦@UniofStaffs⁩ centre for the day!! #centreforcrimejusticeandsecurity

"It's nothing short of a disgrace. It's carnage!" 😡 Ady Williams says it is a 'tragedy' at Reading!

EXCLUSIVE Revealed: The Chinese billionaire brother and sister at the centre of football regulator chaos that sees historic 152-year-old club on the brink of a 'painful death' mol.im/a/13870527 @iwanrstone @MailOnline @SellBeforeWeDai @CazParker1871 #ReadingFC

@henrywinter Agree @henrywinter ASA #reading fan today we need some teeth beyond what #EFL can do to rogue owners!

Independent Football Regulator is needed to protect the game because some club owners just can’t be trusted. European Super League, games abroad, unsustainable spending and unsuitable owners all remain a threat. But any clause requiring the new Regulator to consider the “foreign and trade policy objectives” of UK Govt must be resisted. That clause would immediately undermine the credibility and authority of the Regulator. Regulator has to be independent - a strong KC standing up for fans and standing up to those owners whose greed would damage the Premier League and the pyramid.

Two years after doing the first ever @CharterForSci L&T blog, @tjuthompson is back talking about how we dirve L&T forward. You can read the latest @CharterForSci L&T blog here: members.csofs.org/articles/66d06…

The crowd at the DNC looks 3x bigger than the RNC.

Someone passed this on to me. The fundraiser launched for the rioter who was jailed has being closed down.

Since Trump Tower Chicago is a thing right now, let me tell you a little story. I have a friend (we'll call him John to protect his identity) who runs a successful painting company in Chicago. They do a lot of large projects like skyscrapers and what not. He had an employee (we'll call him Bob) that had been with him for a long time who was like his "second" in command and my friend paid him well. Bob was able to salt away enough of his own money to start his own business. John gave him his blessing and a bonus gift to help him get his business going. He'd also refer jobs he didn't want to take to Bob. After a few years, Bob's business was going strong when the Trump Tower Chicago job became available. Bob asked John about it, and John told him not to take it. He told Bob that he had it on good authority that Trump never pays his bills. Now, there are a couple of things you should know. *This was The Apprentice era, long before Trump was a politician. *John was (and still is) a resolute Reagan and Bush loving Republican who I had argued with many times. Bob took the job anyway, taking out loans and putting (I think) over $1 million into it. He finished the job, and Trump never paid. When he sued, Trump managed to put off the trial until Bob had to declare bankruptcy again. Now Bob works for John again while he tries to pay off his debt. I moved away from Chicago in 2012 and lost touch with John. One day in 2016 I get a Facebook Message from him: "Has anyone checked the weather in hell?" "What?" I replied. "Because I'm going to vote for Hillary Clinton." There are literally thousands of stories like this. Trump always says it's because they didn't do the job adequately, but he had never anyone come "fix" the job. Trump is a deadbeat. Donald Trump does not care for the ordinary blue collar worker. He destroys them. #DeadbeatDon
