Earlier today the 37-year-old was quizzed about his previous convictions, including his attempt to kidnap two women from separate trains in August 2006.

Ms Wass asked her client what was 'going through your mind' when he handed the first air hostess a note threatening to shoot her.

Giving evidence today, Plumb said he would sometimes think about his 'celebrity crush' Holly Willoughby 'four, five, six times' a day.

He said online chats about his alleged plot to kidnap her were 'massively regrettable' but claimed it was just 'dark' fantasy.

Plumb said he got a 'rush of excitement' about keeping Ms Willoughby in a 'dungeon', but again insisted 'I knew it was online chat'.

In November 2008, Plumb was working at a Woolworths in Harlow when he ordered two 16-year-old female colleagues who were busy restocking to 'get to the back of the stockroom'. Threatening them with a box cutter, he told them to turn around and put their hands behind their backs.

The security guard served 16 months in prison, and said that after being released in 2010 he spent '99.9%' of his time online.

The defendant also said he would communicate with others on 'fantasy' chatrooms between 2010 and 2013.

My take based on the pattern of events unfolding around the world.

Russia is doing badly in the war. There is no scenario where Russia is winning and also willing to have North Korea send in troops to help it in the war.

The Chinese elite salary cap will bite China in the butt as such systems only work if these elite have no other better opportunities to move to abroad. China is making decisions that force itself to be stuck in the middle income trap. Capitalistic levels of economic growth require money to move freely. The Chinese CCP is disconnected from how to keep growing the nation state at a relentless rate and are going to have their own ideology get in the way of future growth. 400,000 USD pay cap is too low. You generally want to go after billionaires then the millionaires then below that range.

Long run impact:

Russia and China are both on the losing end this decade if both of them are making these kinds of decisions to run their nation states and wars. This leaves India as the next global player.

Critics of the old ICT qualification complained that it taught little more than how to use Microsoft Office. In contrast, the new computer science GCSE, with its focus on computer theory, coding and programming, is perceived by many pupils as "difficult" when compared with other subjects.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court overturned the bribery conviction of a former Indiana mayor on Wednesday, the latest in a series of decisions narrowing the scope of federal public corruption law.

The high court's 6-3 opinion along ideological lines found the law criminalizes bribes given before an official act, not rewards handed out after.

“Some gratuities can be problematic. Others are commonplace and might be innocuous,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote. The lines aren't always clear, especially since many state and local officials have other jobs, he said.

The high court sided with James Snyder, a Republican who was convicted of taking $13,000 from a trucking company after prosecutors said he steered about $1 million worth of city contracts to the company.

In a sharply worded dissent joined by her liberal colleagues, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the distinction between bribes and gratuities ignores the wording of the law aimed at rooting out public corruption.

“Snyder's absurd and atextual reading of the statute is one that only today's court could love,” she wrote.

The decision continues a pattern in recent years of the court restricting the government's ability to use broad federal laws to prosecute public corruption cases. The justices also overturned the bribery conviction of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell in 2016 and sharply curbed prosecutors' use of an anti-fraud law in the case of ex-Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling in 2010.

The decision also comes as the Supreme Court itself has faced sustained criticism over undisclosed trips and gifts from wealthy benefactors to some justices that led the high court to adopt its first code of ethics, though it lacks an enforcement mechanism.

Snyder was elected mayor of Portage, a small Indiana city near Lake Michigan, in 2011 and was removed from office when he was first convicted in 2019. He has maintained his innocence, saying the money he received was payment for consulting work. His attorneys said that prosecutors hadn't proved there was a “quid pro quo” exchange agreement before the contracts were awarded.

The Justice Department countered that the law was clearly meant to cover gifts “corruptly” given to public officials as rewards for favored treatment.

Kavanaugh, writing for the high court majority, disagreed, finding that interpretation would “create traps for unwary state and local officials” and would “subject 19 million public officials to a new regulatory regime,” though he said a gratuity could be unethical or illegal under other laws.
