This tragedy happened over nine years ago. It's hard to avoid the question... If this hadn't been poor people in a wealthy area, would it really have taken a decade to bring anyone deemed responsible to account for their actions or inactions? share.google/2yfjFryZmqOE...

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

I've been to a lot of party conferences. Burnham's speech was the best I've heard in a long time. It was emotive but with major policy announcements and a clear diagnosis of how he thinks the country has taken the wrong path. "Public control" is how he thinks it can be put right.

The weird thing about the whole ‘dementia tax/death tax’ stuff is it implies we don’t already have one. Surely we basically do, we just don’t tell people about it in advance and it’s totally unpredictable and random.

Lesser Ury was one of the first artists in Germany to take hectic modern city life, with its traffic and busy nightlife in theatres and bars, as a topic for art. As in this work from 1920, Berlin, its motor vehicles and a wet evening, plays a prominent role in his work.
