An excellent YouTube interview w/ @ImranKhanPTI’s sister, Aleem Khan @Aleema_KhanPK, on Australia’s ABC tv station. If they haven’t yet done so, Australia & other Commonwealth countries must make representations to the Govt of #Pakistan. @SenatorWong youtu.be/1mOsEYpTOvo?...

Great little article—also known by some as a ‘piece’, by ⁦‪@pilitaclark‬⁩ about the use of meaningless words to hide the inability to find the correct word to use! Muddled writing reflects muddled thinking! www.ft.com/content/b589...

The battle around ‘around’ and other awful woolly words

What is happening in #Pakistan is MASSIVE! The tsunami of national support for the release of @Imran KhanPTI is quite simply incredible! The military-supported govt of @PmShabazShariff cannot ignore this genuine national popular movement. The status quo will no longer work!
