Again - the reason that the Good Friday Agreement locks in the ECHR is that the UK had repeatedly been held accountable by the European Court of Human Rights for human rights breaches during the Troubles - while national courts had failed to do so, even upholding miscarriages of justice

Imagine what the news coverage would be like if Hamas had just killed 700+ Israelis. But it’s Palestinians being murdered, so it’s a foot note. Hundreds of children brutally killed with US-supplied weapons, but life goes on like nothing is happening.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children.

Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.

“Are you feeling all right?” I asked her.

“I feel all sleepy,” she said.

In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.

The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her.

On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

This was a bad week for Germany, and for the EU. A stable German government seems, after what we have witnessed, further away than ever. This is not good news at a time when Trump is US President, France remains very instable, and everyone is hoping for the next DE government to take on leadership.

"It should not surprise us then that, as völkisch-authoritarian racism surged at home, Germany yet again became complicit, through its unconditional solidarity with Netanyahu, Smotrich, Gallant and Ben-Gvir, in murderous ethnonationalism." It'll be decades until German liberals see Mishra's point.

I hope this finds you.
For You Who Are About to Give Up

Think of what you'll miss:
the voices of children;
apples, dark wine on a table;
the smell of the spring before you're ready.
Stay.
It doesn't get better, it gets truer.
Winter. Albums. Madness.
Your grief in you like a cello
in its locked, black case.
The lemon-scent of someone who has gone.

Breathe. Just breathe
and be here.
In my darkest night,
in the storm before morning,
I heard a voice 
that told me it was listening.
Friend, I would sit with you 
and listen.
As long as you have breath
you could be song.
As long as you have breath you could be song.
