For some odd reason the @BBCNews is only reporting the violence in France and not how it was spread to Spain, Belgium and Italy. Hell, they stormed the Colosseum and yet the BBC just quietly ignore it.

Spaniards shopping at the Corte Inglés shopping mall at Barcelona's have been locked in the store. The shopping mall was forced to close its doors with customers inside to prevent looters from storming the building. Europe 2026…

What's actually going on in Ukraine is... a Russian invasion. Such a simple fix.

What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people. The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.

This is deeply disturbing. I lived in Paris in the 90s. This half arsed joke of "this is what the French do"... it wasn't what they did then. This is not the Paris I remember.

I dislike colleagues who think they are soldiering on by coming in ill. I've managed to avoid sickness for 7 weeks. Yesterday a sick colleague sneezed on me. Now I'm ill. (No effort to cover their mouth either) Just stay at home. Stop inflicting it on others.

Our work exposing religious charities which promote violence against women has a feature in the Mail on Sunday. Several of these charities continue to promote misogyny despite warnings from the Charity Commission. We need a fundamental rethink of religion in the charity sector.

I'm a Union rep in my place. If you ever want to really know how true it is that teachers are all terrible lefties, just check out union meeting attendance. They ain't lefties.

Tucker got called out to his face on the "NATO expansion" myth, in real time, and starting squirming. It is simultaneously satisfying and embarrassing to watch. Tucker might be the most repulsive figure in American public life.
