ANYWAY I WILL BE FURIOUS ABOUT THIS TOMORROW.

OK NOBODY WARNED ME ABOUT THIS ONE BUT APPARENTLY THE MET POLICE HAD TO ASSESS A SOCIAL MEDIA POST FROM SARAH HELM BECAUSE SHE IS MARRIED TO THE GOVERNMENT NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER AND SHE TWEETED ABOUT SUPPORTING PALESTINE ACTION WHILE DISCUSSING AUTHOR SALLY ROONEY WHO IS ACTUALLY GIVING HER ROYALTIES TO THE GROUP WHICH IS NOW A PROSCRIBED TERRORIST ORGANISATION SO SUPPORTING THEM IS A SERIOUS OFFENCE, BUT SPECIALIST OFFICERS LOOKED AT IT AND DECIDED IT DID NOT HIT THE CRIMINAL THRESHOLD SO NOTHING ELSE IS HAPPENING WITH THE CASE, WHICH IS JUST SUCH A SPECIFIC DRAMA TO BE DEALING WITH ON A THURSDAY NIGHT LIKE HOW DO YOU EVEN NAVIGATE THAT DINNER TABLE CONVERSATION. ANYWAY WHERE DID EVERYONE GO?
