What’s the evidence on rent control? I charted the findings from 112 studies: Great for rent-controlled tenants ✅ But: Pushes up rents for other people ❌ Pushes down new housing construction ❌ Pushes down building quality ❌

I'm half-British and half-Thai. A random right-winger verbally racially abused me in the street for no reason at all. That same man was in my A&E ward a couple of days later due to a cardiac arrest. I was the doctor who saved him. There's a moral in that story somewhere.

I read about the break-ins in Finland and immediately remembered a story John Sipher told me years ago when he was stationed in Moscow. I don’t know if Russia is behind this but it does have the hallmarks of an old KGB tactic

One of two Labour gains from Reform in Northumberland by-elections yesterday. Too early to know for sure we've passed peak Reform, but another encouraging sign.

Despite being a famous Hollywood star if you want to know what sort of person DAVID NIVEN was, the largest wreath at his funeral was from the Porters at Heathrow Airport. It read: “To the finest gentleman who ever walked through these halls. He made a Porter feel like a King.”

That’s utterly irrelevant to how I would respond to a Rwanda Genocide denier. Which is the question you asked. How about this: if you don’t want a question answered, don’t ask it.

Among your many problems is susceptibility to logical fallacies, including the Argument From Authority, as here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumen... You simply cannot comprehend that someone’s credentials might be irrelevant to what you would say to them on a substantive issue.

I was made redundant from a car dealership that used a third-party website to manage loan car bookings. Access wasn't revoked… to keep myself busy during redundancy, I'd regularly login using a former colleague's credentials and delete bookings at my leisure by way of payback.
