Birthday card sent to the UK with correct Europe stamp returned by Bpost with the 'insufficient postage' sticker. The random 'lettre normalisée' bullshit I suppose.

To demonstrate this, Marr feeds a series of previously-unthinkable far-right talking points to Chris Philp, who agrees with all of them.

Marr and the person LBC got from the Sun agreeing there's "no way" the British right would unite to get power after the next GE. Like football journalism calling the end of a season 3 years away.

Irritated to learn that Liverpool managed to preserve its old dock, from 1716 and uncovered in 2001, under a shopping mall. While Brussels couldn't preserve its MUCH older medieval dock, uncovered 2019, under the new town hall of the city it gave birth to.

Asian hornets in a line waiting for honey bees returning to the hive at the Meise botanical gardens. They are everywhere in my neighborhood in Brussels today.

I think there’s a misunderstanding of the term “EU Accession negotiations”. Negotiation, in this sense, is primarily over how and by when an applicant will implement or align with each area of EU law (Acquis Communautaire), and then whether they‘ve done that. It’s not over *whether* they will.

Such a great tradition, the movie version of British TV shows. Steptoe, Up Pompeii, Python, Porridge, Are You Being Served, Sweeney, Inbetweeners, Partridge, Luther... Glad to see Ghosts join in.

@barnabascalder.bsky.social Hello. can I DM you a question for an article I'm writing on a subject closely related to your research?

Yes, and parc Léopold before that

Crime 101 was a bit of a slog. But Chris Hemsworth and Barry Keoghan could make a decent Aubrey-Maturin if one of the streamers has a billion to spend.

Exhibition curators. Does a looping slo-mo video with very loud music slop help visitors absorb hundreds of words and images?

Stuff Romantics liked just before railways altered the world. Kasteel van Bouchout, Meise. Neogothic rebuild of a medieval castle, T-F Suys, 1832>.

Farage is out warning it will mean Schengen and the euro while the self-defined pro-Europeans will promise opt-outs from these things that neither he nor they want, because Blighty.

So far today, LBC has consulted Liam Halligan and David Goodhart on Labour's EU noises. It's obvious the UK media wants the same production with the same cast to run forever.

The neighbourhood association says an unspecified budget has been agreed for some unspecified greenery, with a consultation and decision before year-end. Planting will be in **summer 2028**. And buses will return to the Schuman roundabout at an unspecified moment. Official inauguration October 17.

Andrew Marr frames any discussion of EU membership for the UK as 'toxic'. Meaning the euro and freedom of movement. Meaning 'your currency is buttons, we don't like your sort and we call the shots'. But meaning other (thicker) people have such objections, not him of course.

This is quite a page-turner. And it's written by a historian of architecture at the University of Liverpool, a city I've never visited and would like to now.

If I had a substack, I would craft a vast cahier des doléances on the subject of Schuman. But I don't, so I will mutter ineffectively here instead.

Years into the Schuman works, buses diverted via Maelbeek still stop at a 'temporary' halt on rue Archimède. The central doors open on to a tree meaning the less mobile need help and those with luggage taking the airport bus have to be acrobatic. Contempt for bus users is chronic in Brussels.

Frédéric Moreau @goodclimate.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Agreed. This is woeful at first sight and it's best looked at as a resurfacing, waterproofing and security project.

Some observations on the symbolism of successive designs for the Schuman roundabout. The latest was the most ambitious by far. It was orphaned by personnel changes and mostly symbolises impotent disappointment. bsky.app/profile/good...

There are quite a few along the lines of why no oak trees?

Frédéric Moreau @goodclimate.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I calculated (using science) that the average lifespan of Schuman relooks since the 60s has been 25 years. Not including fiddling about. And a bus lane with no buses might be first in line.

Not settled. Not if this tortuous banyan tree of a headline is any indicator.

The New Schuman is open and here is the centrepiece.

This is just bollocks. When my dad and grandma faced the most disgusting racism in the 60s and 70s (more extreme than what would ever be considered mistreat today) migration was far lower and many Brits were facing plenty ‘inwards’
