Dining across the divide: ‘He says he feels pride about being English, but I don’t’
A retired software engineer and a planetary scientist disagreed about putting up flags and nationalising private companies, but were they worlds apart on legalising drugs?

The lobbying group, Airports Council International, fail to substantiate their claim that there are delays on entering the EU bloc of "up to 3 hours" but want the implementation delayed. This is a Brexit dividend. Non-EU citizens need to comply.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2026
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

I started at 50 (bucket list thing), having started running regularly at 48. I'm slow & I love it. Get a plan that ramps up slowly, take your time, choose a lovely location & ENJOY! The training is as much fun as the event - longer routes &/or alternatives instead of the 5-8 km radius from home.

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset. This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI. Except... it's bollocks.

Should we just give cash to homeless people? I wrote about what the evidence shows--and a London-based charity called Greater Change that has a simple, innovative way of making a difference:

www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int... Absolutely heartbreaking. Every name is a person. Each one should be looking forward to full lives. Families and friends bereft forever. It is really hard to believe that this will not sow further discord, distrust and hate against the perpetrators.

Das, was derzeit meinen Kollegen @dunjahayali.de und Elmar Theveßen widerfährt, dürfte z.T. auch eine orchestrierte Kampagne sein. In den digitalen Kloaken genügt es ja, jemanden zu markieren und dann wird das zum Selbstläufer, in rechtsfreien Räumen, denen sich bislang keine Kraft entgegenstellt. 🧵
