I think we've solved the definition of "English". You're English if you can do a terrorist action and it doesn't count.

“The Greens are more extreme than mainstream Palestinian opinion - they’re saying violence is now legitimate.” The Green Party's ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion calls for “the eradication of the Israeli state”, says Jonathan Freedland. “And they’re happy to see that achieved by violence”.

False premise. Most Londoners I know are still in love with the city. It's been enlivening finding a fresh London around UCL, a mere stone's throw from the legal London of my past.

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

Very much enjoying the Swindon Advertiser's live blog this evening, with its plucky, on-the-ground reports from the street where a local man has been charged with assisting Russian intelligence.

7:38 pm 09/09/26
What have his neighbours said?
Our reporter is at the scene of one his addresses in Liden where residents have reacted with shock.
One person told the Adver: "It's surprising."
Another said: "Don't know nothing about that, dunno what to say really."
A third added: "It's unexpected, usually you get police around here for drugs, which is why I keep myself to myself'

8:16 pm 09/09/26
One neighbour, a couple doors down from where police were seen, slammed his front door in our reporter's face and repeatedly shouted through an open window to "go report something somewhere else"

Grateful to my pal @thedigester.bsky.social for bringing me this gift from China. It’s a book of Bob Dylan’s lyrics translated into Mandarin and served in a crisp-bag. At least, that’s what we think is in there - I haven’t opened it!

Told the story before, but a relative used to work with Dorries. Said relative migrated to the US and years later came back to discover that Nadine was an MP & minister. She was absolutely flabbergasted. "She used to come looking for me to go to lunch with," She said, "and I'd hide in a cupboard"

Sympathies. I remember my undergraduate dissertation supervisor telling me he'd spent 2 days combing through books he'd read when visiting a library because he'd forgotten to made a note of where he'd found a quote.

This is an inappropriate, credulous & politically biased BBC headline. The claims about savings will be sharply contested. News reports should not imclude what reads as an ediorial endorsememt in the headline www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I reread the book recently. It's really quite different from the film and very English. No big set pieces in space: the adrenaline is provided by card games in Pall Mall and a car crash on the A20 on the way to Kent.

There's a practical problem getting the child onto the computer network too (which most white collar jobs require). Also there's nothing useful you can get a 15yo to do. That low level admin has disappeared.

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

How many AI models does it take to change a lightbulb? That's a great question, which shows that you care about illumination! You don't just want to see - you want to be seen. Unfortunately no such thing as a lightbulb has ever existed or will ever exist.
