Personal News:

Unfortunately, my blood cancer has progressed to a stage where I require more intensive treatment, namely long-term low dose chemotherapy or a Cancer Growth Blocker of the JAK2 gene.

As a result, I may be less active over the coming months whilst I adjust to the side effects.

I am part of the MITHRIDATE clinical trial, which will see me receive either the usual 1st line treatment of Hydroxyurea or what can be a 2nd line treatment; Ruxolitinib.

The drug is already used for my condition, but the NHS currently won't pay for it until there's more evidence of its effectiveness due to its cost.

This is the stage 3 trial to see if it is more effective giving as a 1st treatment. Stages 1 and 2 showed very positive results.

It is hoped that whichever treatment I receive will improve my symptoms and blood results after I adjust, as the last few months have seen me become severely impaired to the point I can't get out of bed.

The trial is run and supported by @CR_UK, @MPNVoice, @unibirmingham, The French National Cancer Institute (INCa) with @NovartisCancer providing Ruxolitinib free of charge.

NHS Highland's amazing Haematology team is looking after me locally.

Hundreds of Scottish schools are being evacuated out of an abundance of caution due to a mass bomb threat.

Parents should await instructions from their child's school or local emergency services.

Schools affected are all over and a list is impossible.

BREAKING -Invergordon Academy in the Highlands has closed for day following a bomb scare.

Pupils have been sent home. Those unable to go home will be kept in the leisure centre.

Parents are NOT to attend the school to collect their children

Emergency services are in attendance

BREAKING - Schools across the Highlands are being evacuated following numerous bomb scares.

Schools affected are in Alness, Pain, Nairn, Invergordon, Inverness and Dingwall.

Parents are advised not to attend schools as they're off limits. Schools will put out information.

Parents of children in ALL HIGHLAND COUNCIL schools should monitor Police Scotland and Council socials and await instructions from their child's school on collection arrangements.

The presumption at this time is all schools will be evacuated and arrangements made to watch those unable to go home.

UK Counter Terror Police have arrested a 41-year-old "senior U.S. soldier" under the National Security Act.

A spokesperson say the arrest relates to Russia with the FBI stating espionage is involved.

He remains in UK custody. 2 addresses in Gloucestershire are being searched.

Jonathan Ross: “The comedy awards is 15 years old… and like most 15-year-olds, it's drunk, it's unpredictable, and it's probably going home with David Walliams.”

Everyone knew. Just like they did with Russell Brand.

David Walliams: "Isn't it a wonderful smokescreen"

Russell Brand: "Isn't it, it's glorious it works wonderfully well."

He’s a fucking nonce

In the BBC running commentary of the David Walliams allegations, they seem aggrieved at length he could be named online.

However, they cite "UK court" orders as being ignored. This is factual incorrect and more likely purposely misleading to gain sympathy.

In my case, as I explained in length, High Court orders only apply to those in England and Wales. I live in Scotland. There is no "UK Court" that can apply anonymity Injunctions.

I understand that it may annoy other journalists, but it's not my fault I live outside the jurisdiction of an English court. Had he obtained an order at the Court of Session, I'd have adhered to it, he didn't.

The much bigger issue is celebrities using their wealth to silence people or the media. Anonymity should be for victims of crime or vulnerable people, not those who don't like being investigated.

Also, with most Scottish news outlets being published in England or owned by an English HQ'd company, therefore means 99% of the time, the order defacto applies in Scotland as they'd breach the order. It's pretty sad that's the case too.

Anyway, enjoy your evening.

A major joint investigation by The Guardian and ITV News details serious allegations against David Walliams, involving multiple women who allege he used his celebrity status to pursue them—including when some were underage.

​Walliams strongly denies any illegal conduct or being denies several of the specific claims.

​A thread on the key findings: 🧵👇

5/6 The details of this investigation are only coming to light now after a high-profile legal battle:
​• Walliams fought an unprecedented court battle to secure an injunction preventing The Guardian and ITV News from publishing.
• His legal team attempted to block publication, but after failing to appeal the ruling, the temporary restrictions were lifted.

6/6 In a letter regarding the investigation, Walliams wrote:

​"Looking back, I realise that at times I behaved thoughtlessly towards other people... I am not a sexual predator. I have not broken the law, but I am devastated that some of the women I met 10 to 20 years ago have now expressed hurt."

Uhuh

Today, David Walliams lost his bid for a permanent anonymity order at the High Court in London.

However, a temporary anonymity order remains applicable to those in England & Wales pending appeal.

He wished to prevent being named in a media sexual misconduct investigation.

Jade (not her real name) alleges she met David Walliams when she was 15, in the summer of 2007 amd that he sexuallly abused her after meeting in a cafe.

"It wasn’t long until he asked me if I’d ever had sex before," the Guardian reports her as saying.

After leaving the cafe, she alleges that Walliams kissed her on a side street and then invited her back to his house. At his home she says he kissed her and lifted up her T-shirt.

"I wasn't ready for sex... I didn't want to be touched in that way at all. I mean, I was only a 15-year-old," Jade told the Guardian.

Full credit to @ITV and the @guardian for not letting his prolific use of lawfare pay off this time.
