Something quite eerie about a balmy evening in the north west in October.

If you're entitled to a covid vaccine this year, go and get one. I'm now officially on day 11 of coughing so much my ribs ache.

This is almost certainly true, and the UK fails women refugees in multiple ways, including by refusing safe routes to come here, wrongly rejecting asylum claims, barring family reunion & not recognising trafficking victims promptly or at all. If only Mahmood had the power to do something about this

Nearly all women arriving on small boats have been raped, says Shabana Mahmood

Home secretary warns people traffickers will exploit asylum seekers because they decide who comes to the UK

Researching something else, stumbled on this. Hyperlocal news, 1890s style.

1890 issue of Brockley News newspaper. The main story is about purchasing Hilly Fields as a public park.

Why are the Portuguese catching so many strays in this Netflix Lizzie Borden series? I’m used to the Irish of the time being presented as criminals but this seems like an odd fixation.

For those in England & Wales who don’t get them on the NHS: private flu & covid jabs are available from today. I’ve just had both at my local pharmacy. £115 for the pair. Yes, that’s expensive, but if you’re a freelancer & don’t get sick pay it’s probably a lot cheaper than taking time off.

I can't get my head around the idea of a state trying and failing to kill someone and then sending them to an emergency medical facility to try and save them, for the state to what try again at some point? What even happens next?

So the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition is not going very well They've sold far too many tickets and the space cannot cope with the physical number of people - how did they not do basic crowd flow/control calculations? Embarrassing that the British cannot organise a queue properly (Not my photo)

Paper flyer from the British Museum apologising for the disruption to your Bayeux Tapestry visit today

It's basically saying 'sorry we may not be able to get you in today, we will try and get you an alternative date but if we can't do this we will refund your ticket'

I think its important to understand the campus sexual assault crisis is way worse than you think. universities suspend just 1/12,400 students each year for sexual misconduct & expel 1/22,900. once you read title ix administrators in their own words, you get a sense why that is:

London's homicide rate hit its lowest level since records began. Yet 40% of the public thought that murders had risen since 2019. That’s the danger of disinformation. We cannot accept it, and to defeat it, we’ve got to put pressure on the social media companies who profit from it.

Have to say this is a very fair criticism. I criticised Starmer for waiting ages to condemn Tommy Robinson’s mobs in London. But this is even more frustrating because Burnham is popular and could have real impact. We can’t allow images of mobs of masked fascists blocking roads to be normalised.
