I know what's going on. The hijabs are disguises to enable these 'young men of fighting age' to enter women's toilets. It's the only explanation.

the story about the ULEZ bomber, a white bloke in his 60s, still isn’t on the front page of the BBC News when it feels like quite a big story about online radicalisation & violence

In case people are not fully across the Fairford story: What appears to have happened is that five men from London went to a small country village in the middle of the night to siphon fuel for resale. In small country villages, people notice things, especially at 1am. A farmer called the police.

Name a film with a female director: Vagabond (Sans Toit Ni Loi)(1985). An untypically bleak for Varda. Desolate, and challenging, if you have any compassion. One of the best films of the 80s. letterboxd.com/film/vagabond/

There is NO evidence that asylum seekers pose a particular risk to women. There is NO data showing they are any more dangerous than any other man. And no, memes and random highly manipulated graphs on social media don't count! Every time a claim surfaces suggesting otherwise, it is debunked🤷‍♀️

It is incredibly important that political violence does not succeed. The far-right mob that shut down Portsmouth wanted this outcome. If the state wishes to avoid more of these actions, it needs to make sure this RNLI branch reopens *immediately*, or as close to that as humanly possible.

We live in a poll-driven political age, but it's important for all politicians to remember that they can lead/influence public opinion through leadership and communication.

I'm probably a dinosaur, but I wish students were allowed more time just to be students: to study, to read, to think, to talk to each other, to have big ideas - maybe even to have fun now & then. I'm not convinced turning unis into training centres is going to fix bigger problems in the jobs market

I think we're at the point where we can incredibly comfortably say that your attitude towards Reform, Restore, MAGA, the AfD etc is how you'd have responded to fascism in the 1930s

One reason England does so well is our second generation immigrants outperform their peers which is not true in most OECD countries. We are also very good at integration. And it's v sad that this is never acknowledge in debates on immigration.

That the government's response to a large-scale fascist mobilisation is to say stuff like "the right to protest is fundamental" and "we already *are* stopping the boats" is in itself the story of how we got here.

Buying digital games and movies is a direct descendant of buying music online, which people could download, burn, own. I would actually love it if these sleazy companies were forced to stop saying “buy” and had to clearly state their terms in plain English and in a highly visible typeface.
