I'm sure the Daily Mail will make a meal of it, but there's something morally right about a convicted killer winning a human rights act case where he has been unlawfully segregated (solitary confinement) for over 4 years. Except that the unlawful bit was only 14 months long, and then, if they had kept to the segregation procedure where they get approval from a minister to extend it, it would not have been unlawful at all. I hope the lawyers sleep easy at night winning that one. Fortunately, the judge saw sense and didn't award damages, so the only outcome is that every prison governor will have to get the right paperwork in place for every person in solitary confinement.
Stephen Fry steps down as QI host should not be big news, but it is. I associate QI with a high intellect, and as a watcher of the program, I'm sure that viewers are aligned with that.
Therefore, I'm a bit unsure about Sandi Toksvieg who will take over. She was OK on the News Quiz, but that always sounded like it was scripted down to the last syllable. We'll see.
