This fine beast is the church at Vyšehrad. This is the The Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul.

Thai is another classic photo but a side of the Charles bridge you don’t often see. It is taken from the Andel side of the river looking down towards the bridge.

It’s a cold and sunny weekend here in Prague so I went for a long walk. Did you know you could surf on the Danube? No, neither did I. And the air temperature is about -8 so I wouldn’t like to guess at the water temperature!

Got to the airport for my early flight to Prague. I really don’t mind T3 - it’s generally a lot quieter than T5 at the best of times. At 5am? It’s dead 😂

But of course if you read the story you know this is just hysteria from the right. This is about a child with special education needs. These slavering cunts don’t believe this child has any right to be here. Ghouls, all of them.
But an immigration tribunal ruled it would be
"unduly harsh" for his 10-year-old son, known as 'C' in court documents, to return to Albania with his father owing to food sensitivities, sensory issues and difficulties communicating emotions.The court heard while the young boy had no formal diagnosis, education plans were in place to support his "emotional regulation, independence; reading and writing".

Now this is the story. See a difference immediately? ‘Paused’ v ‘halted’. Which one makes you feel angry about an Albanian not being booted out of the country by force because his child only likes British chicken nuggets? The halted one. www.thenational.scot/news/nationa...

Heard the one about the Albanian and the British chicken nuggets? Jesus, I wish this really was the start of a bad joke but no. Our oh so wonderful press is really writing up headlines about this.

I do find it absolutely mind blowing that a govt that is made up of the Labour Party would decide that the Trump approach to unleashing state cruelty on vulnerable people is a great idea. And then they really lean into it and turn it into a video nasty. This is Roman Empire stuff, human suffering

This is all a symptom of having a leader who is bad at politics and is a bad politician. He doesn’t know what he wants to offer to the public and he doesn’t know how to offer it. This is unfortunately why we have a nationalist, populist party polling well.

Which really does tell you all you need to know about the pronatalist (anti-abortion) mobs doesn’t it? The only time it matters if women die in childbirth along with their babies is when they are white. I think there is a word for this.

In this case it is Armagnac, sweet vermouth, angostura bitters and a little maraschino cherry juice - or a sweet Manhattan but swap the liquor. Rather lovely.

Two cocktails. A classic bone dry martini (cloudy because the gin came out of the freezer and the ice was getting a bit wet) and a Manhattan Island.

The comments on this are deeply depressing. FAFO is really great if you are a smug white middleclass person. What it reveals you to be is a heartless cunt with zero empathy, so that most dangerous of all things; a liberal.

This is a very fine piece of art. Since the remodelling of Tate Britain in 2000 it really has become an excellent display space. This is by Denzil Forrester and is called ‘Three Wicked Men’
A spectacular painting in Tate Britain by the artist Denzil Forrester called Three Wicked Men and was painted in the early 1980’sA text description of a painting hanging in Tate Britain.

Denzil Forrester born 1956

Born Grenada, lives Truro (Cornwall)

Three Wicked Men 1982
Oil paint on canvas

Three Wicked Men narrates the story of Winston Rose, a childhood friend of Denzil Forrester who died under contentious circumstances while in police custody in 1981. 

The stiff, uniformed figures of the two policemen flank Rose, seeming to drain the colour from their surroundings. Occasional flashes of bright activity interrupt from the street. Forrester belongs to a generation of Black British artists who use figurative painting to depict racial and social injustice.

Working from the outset of the Thatcher government in the early 1980s, his dynamic and crowded scenes are inspired by his time spent sketching in London reggae and dub clubs.

I absolutely take that argument. And you can add to that the construction of internment camps and the provisioning of additional for profit prison capacity by his oligarch friends. I also don’t disagree that we are moving to an era where the president has the ability to decide who is a citizen

Do have a read of this thread. I don’t agree with the idea that this is linked to enabling genocide in the US but aside from that I don’t disagree with the risks highlighted. My personal fear is that this enables the Executive to reintroduce state murder as entertainment.

Netanyahu has made the world outside of Israel incredibly dangerous for the Jewish Diaspora. He doesn’t care. The only thing this man cares about is protected his position, his skin and his family. Remind you of anyone?

cleansing on a mass scale. Israel is not simply a client state. It is to all intents and purposes the true 51st state. Its economy is tightly integrated and highly reliant on the US for sustenance. The settler efforts are deeply reliant on the US. Netanyahu has made Israel a rogue state. A pariah.
