Convicted last October for harassment—including over 100 offensive cards sent to a former Lord Mayor—he received a community order instead of jail time. Critics argue prosecutors missed a chance to act earlier, potentially preventing further harm. Meanwhile, the community hub he led, the L6 centre, battles funding cuts and has launched a fundraising drive. Elsewhere, the Thirlwall Inquiry into Lucy Letby’s crimes will release findings on September 15th amid ongoing legal disputes, while Chester Zoo accidentally promoted a “child predator tour” due to a tech glitch—offering “adult predator” tickets for £30. In Liverpool, a Samuel Beckett festival unfolds with performances directed by Adrian Dunbar. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
