Guilt plummeted across the curve in recent days with record moves for a single week, but since market opened today, they have regained some of those losses. On Monday, Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey attempted to sue the markets by saying the bank won't hesitate to increase rate by as much as needed to rein in inflation. However, he also tempered speculation of an emergency rate hike to shore up the battered currency. The statement came as UK Chancellor quasi quantang heads to the city today for a difficult meeting with London's top bankers.

"You could have said cursed both of us out and read us to dust. You did it so eloquently. I just like British people can get away with murder. At this point. I'm good at pretending. This is my question, though, in season two. And weena and, you know, lord Bridgerton, there weren't a lot of love scenes. Were there love scenes, but they were cut out? No, and I think that the point was that the relationship between edwina and auntie in the relationship between Antony and Kate are so different. And Anthony is all about what's on paper. They're perfect for each other. By society standards. Right? And in an alternate universe, they would have had a fine marriage. But what Kate and Anthony have is a burning love and passion and romance. So I think for edwina in Anthony to have any kind of physical intimacy would have eliminated that distinction. Yeah, yeah. You know, speaking of physical intimacy and burning hot passion. Are you ready? I don't know. I think Jonathan Bailey sexiest man alive. Sexy. Gorgeous. By the way, wouldn't you be a good couple? Am I just here we go? Do we need to pass on some digits? By the way, we just want to be extra and just show up. Ready to dance with somebody and just cut him with him.

"Most times I was there to meet the bus on time, but if I wasn't, she was out there to show and see. And so if I didn't come in on the bus that morning, and I caught it that afternoon, she'd come out and say, I didn't see it, come off the bus, this morning. I said, no, ma'am, I gotta ride this morning. And so she was watching me. She was looking out for me. Then, as a college student, you know, I met all these wonderful women, queen brewton and, oh my gosh, miss Gloria Anderson over at the spooky center at the time introduced me to all the women of the south side, oh my goodness, edwina Stevens. All of these women. And they were great women, but what interested me most is that they were interested in me, you know? And so if I didn't have a ride or I missed the bus, mister deana was taking me home. I lived all the way down. I pursued a road at that time. Wow. She was taking me home. If I didn't have, number one time, because America, you don't get made that much money. And our lights were off. We got our lights cut off at the house. And I didn't have money to pay for the light Bill. And until I got my check. And so miss brewton was like, how much money do you need? And I was like, oh, no, I can't take no money from, you know, I'm just thinking, I just don't know what to do, and I'm just trying to figure this out. She literally wrote me a check to go and get my light Bill paid. She said, now you take this down and you gonna get that you get that handle, you give it to me whenever you want. I gave it right back to her. But it just was like stuff like that. And then, you know, just being taken under the wing and being treated like a daughter, by this community, being groomed, if you will, in work, and projects, and give an opportunity to lead and to learn and to follow. Why do you think they did that? Because they saw you working and trying to make a difference or because they just saw you were alone and could use the help or maybe all of that. Yeah. Maybe all of that. Maybe they saw my potential and said, she's not going to be lose her. You know, we're not going to lose her to uncertainty. We're going to make sure that she arrives at her destination. Whatever it was, that used them. Mightily, in helping me, you know, my church family worships and praise center at the time were great. I had a mentor there at the center name is Dolores meyrick. Who just mentored and prayed and, gosh, I mean, they just looked out for me, and that energy, that spirit, that intentionality is translated to me creating a mentoring program at that center. The divas girls mentoring program and I ran that program for over 15 years. We mentored up close to 400 girls in the south side. Those girls taught me so much. They taught me how to not categorize people. How to not look at people and think I know their potential. And I began to learn that things aren't on the surface ever on the surface. So don't ever look on the surface. And that love.

"I thought it was very sensitive and sort of beautifully treated. As a whole, I think that the showrunners have fundamentally misunderstood the project of Bridgerton. Sorry. And right now, my TED Talk. The thing about, I mean, I think about romance in general, but in particular with these books is that the Bridgerton family is a powerful family with money and connections and what they do is they use their power for good. That is the deal. They are the knights in shining armor. In the book, in one of the very first scenes with Kate and edwina, Anthony sort of sweeps in and does a very lovely thing for Penelope featherington. He does something sort of beautiful and elevates her in front of the awful Crescent of croucher. And I thought, what a missed opportunity. And those moments of him standing up for a person that is not, edwina, or Kate, were gone. And I thought, you know, he could have used that, especially because like, you know, yeah, he's super annoying. But you know, one of the things that's so wonderful about the character is he's not just the man who didn't want love who found it. He's kind of complex. And he does become a better guy, but the reason you know from the beginning you are going to root for him, even though he's kind of in a jerk to some of the people, is that he makes these moments of courage happen. One of the things I want to talk about a little bit is in the first season, Simon is played by a black actor. The queen is a black woman. But one of the things people talked about is that that fact is sort of totally ignored, like there's one brief conversation that acknowledges that race even exists in this world. And it did seem to me like in this season and Kate is not Indian in the book. The fact that this family is now an Indian family is something that they incorporate into the story sort of threw out. That's part of the family rituals of this family. It's part of how the wedding rituals are specific. And it did seem like that was a little bit more intentional. Agreed. The fact that these three women are Indian is part of the story and it's in the story. Do you know what I mean? I do. Yeah, but also, I mean, to the point, the only thing that struck me was, are they even acknowledging? And this is the 1800s. So are they even acknowledging that they are colonized? Yes. Oh, such a good point. Exactly. I think the larger historical and kind of geographic context is missing, but at least there are specific identity elements around the family that are acknowledged if that makes sense. Sophie, what are you thinking?.

Irish jockey who won both the cheltenham gold cup and the grand national this year, good to get her name and of course Catherine, thank you for helping me. I'm all the better for your messages. So do keep them coming. Now, if you're a fan of comedy and of programs such as have I got news for you, then you'll know the work of the Scottish comedian Jane godly, probably best known most recently for her parody voiceovers of Scotland's first minister Nicolas sturgeon of those daily press briefings during lockdown. But what you may not know is that just a few weeks ago, Jane was forced to cut short her UK tour when diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She shared the news with her fans on Twitter where she's prolific and shares a lot of her sketches and where she also had to face the music recently after being accused of racist tweets for which she apologized. Jane godley, it's been quite the year. Yes, it has been quite a time. I had to cut short the tour when I realized that I was having extreme pain and I was walking through from Leicester Square theater to the hotel and I remember stopping in the street and saying there's definitely something wrong with me. I had this blow in pain and my stomach and I kept you know as woman on whale. I'm sexy. I'm a stand up comedian. I'm an old woman. We are backpacking. It's just that. But when I got back to Glasgow, I spoke to the doctor on the phone and I love very close to the doctor. And she had me over at the very end of surgery, and she had a field of meta management. Oh, I don't like the feeling of this. Got blood tests. Next day, she called me and says, does markers and your blood that unfortunately and indicate that that may allude to cancer? And I'll never forget that moment. I just spent what? Because your brain doesn't almost always go to cancer. And I had read a tweet from Julia Bradbury, who's going through her own journey. And she had mentioned the symptoms of ovarian cancer. And again, my brain went off for goodness sake. You're not going to go straight. Are you? And then the next day I was in the hospital getting a scan and then a man sat me down to my two hands and hash hands which was the most heart stopping moment in my life and said, you have a tumor on your O three and I had to phone my agency. I can't go on stage tonight. I can't do it. And at the exact same time, we all had corporate. So my husband and my daughter are both at COVID and I was absolutely unaffected because obviously I get the DNA of an alsatian from the garbles..

Ireland is not the same as being able to go to a cemetery in your community That you can basically go to anytime. So staten island has an unique credit in that. This is a program that has existed for thirty years. I wish that we could You know sort of helped with the burial of off indigent people but we can't. We can barely afford to do the ones that are under our thority but we can at least ensure that they burried dignity in a cemetery by cemetery professionals on staten island and that has been a really incredible and part of my job. Believe it or not. it's what i was.

Just wanna be god my own. That is that i wanted to talk about only because it's unique to staten island and to most public administrators offices One of my predecessors. From a number of years ago. John carney started a program of making sure that any indigent persons that came under the administration of the public administrator were buried on staten island instead of sign off the heart island around. Now this summer you know since in the united states the first major outbreak was in new york city. You know there was a lot of reporting of a lot of issues that now when around the world and one day my older sister who lives in the uk calls me and she said are they building you know. Burial trenches in the parks in new york city. Is that what you guys are doing that. And she was so upset and she's beside herself and it's because there had been a story a picked up a statement from a city council member. Who said you know we may have to start you know because the be Funeral homes In the morgues. Were overwhelmed and might have to start sending bodies to heart island which is poppers field for new york. City actually was opened shortly after the end of the civil war in about eighteen. Sixty seven somewhere around then and So that was sort of picked up as people will be buried in parks because heart island. Technically is a park on right now. It's run by the department of corrections. But they're in the process of transferring control to the new york city parks and recreation department. And so you know. There were articles flying all over the place that sorta would give one the impression that they are about to start building burial trenches in central park. You know but sending people to heard island is just a very. It's a difficult process for the family and friends and loved ones who went to visit her. Cin afterwards There was no real up kick. People being sent to heart island at the height of the aids crisis for example You you can only go there. You know a few times mom. You have to arrange it through the department of corrections and it must you. Are i think an immediate family member of you can't even go close to the trench where they might be. You have to be on the sort of stage on so you know there. There's yale a lot. That's emotionally difficult about that process and people are you know. They're buried in wooden boxes entrenches on several people deep by people who are under the care of the department of corrections so many aspects of the heart island experience or in the process of changing. I think you know it may have been slowed down because of kobe. Shutdown and everything else but Planning for it started in twenty nineteen and perhaps even before then but even when it is transferred the so so for example now..
