Am 8. März 1979 demonstrierten die Iranerinnen gegen die frauenfeindlichen Maßnahmen des neuen Regimes. Die Frauen hatten zusammen mit den Männern den Schah vertrieben und mussten nun erleben, dass Khomeini, frisch an die Macht gelangt, ihnen ganz gezielt die Freiheit nahm.

This is not only incredibly weak, its false equivalence between Farage and Polanski is dangerous. One of them is a threat to liberal democracy, the other one is not. The text is a prime example of how radical centrism and the profound arrogance of self-declared liberals legitimize the far right

We paid an ex-Tory MP to lobby for our fake Chinese firm - and authorities did nothing

Investigation finds no rules were broken. It just goes to show how few rules there are.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

What's happening in Dubai bolsters the argument taxes should be based on people's nationality, not just their country of residence (ie the US model). If Brits living abroad can expect to be airlifted out by virtue of being British, they should pay some tax towards that. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This will of course affect all of us. But unlike 2022, since then we personally transitioned to a heat pump and an EV, and I can't help but wonder that the direct economic effects on Europe would be smaller if we had been more forceful in the transition away from fossil fuels.
