Ian Hislop, "Three British aid workers have been killed, whereas 30,000 Palestinians have been killed.. It's grim but true. If you kill people who aren't Palestinians, then it suddenly becomes unacceptable"

Clive Myrie, "How has Netanyahu explained the deadly strike?"

Paul Merton, "These things happen in war"

Ian Hislop, "Biden has now said enough is enough and Israel have got to change the way they pursue the war"

Clive Myrie, "Biden said in a statement he was outraged and heartbroken"

Ian Hislop, "He's so furious, he just signed a new arms shipment" #HIGNFY

@buttononthetop @whedonesque Yep.

@OwenJones84 Can’t think what else other than a serious health condition it could have been, when we know someone is having major abdominal surgery and won’t be able to work for months.

@OurShallowState Can’t help but wonder about the psychology at work that to allows millions of people to vote for such a person.

On Sep 13, 1944, a princess from India lay dead at Dachau concentration camp. She had been tortured by the Nazis and then shot in the head. Her name was Noor Inayat Khan.

The Germans knew her only as Nora Baker, a British spy who had gone into occupied France using the code name Madeline. She carried her transmitter from safe house to safe house with the Gestapo trailing her, providing communications for her Resistance unit.

Wireless operators in France had a life expectancy of six weeks. Noor was actively transmitting for over three times as long.

While she was in France, every other wireless operator in her network was slowly picked off until she was the last radio link between London and Paris. It was "the most dangerous and important post in France."

She was offered a way back to Britain and refused.

In fact, in her transmissions to London, she once said that she was having the time of her life, and thanked them for giving her the opportunity to do this.

She was captured by the Gestapo, but never gave up; she made three attempts at escape. One involved asking to take a bath, insisting on being allowed to close the door to preserve her modesty, and then clambering onto the roof of the Gestapo HQ in Paris.

Her last word before being shot was, "Liberté!"

We thought the horrors that befell these two girls couldn’t happen again - wouldn’t be allowed to. Today, thousands of people deny the Holocaust and the Israeli state is carrying out a genocide of its own while the world watches and the “West” facilitates.

Anne Frank photographed with her sister Margot at the beach in Zandvoort, Netherlands, in 1940.

Margot was the elder sister of Anne, and according to Anne’s diary, she also had kept a diary of her own, but no trace of it has ever been found.

She died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

@_RosyD Wow.

[Katrina @KatalystComms]

@_RosyD And how is it pronounced??

[Katrina @KatalystComms]

@Exeter_Hour Nothing. Just a touch more unnecessary hysteria. The newswires pulled the photo cos their editorial standards don’t allow for manipulated photos and KP issued a brief explanation/apology from Kate. Another day, another non-story.

@MandyPearse Lovely. The magnolias blooming herald my favourite time of year. They’re so magnificent and seem so hopeful somehow.

[Katrina @KatalystComms]

@whedonesque A good one. But better than Band Candy? 🧐

@_RosyD The Royal Oak at Meavy is lovely D, plus Calstock is super for wandering by the river / a walk up to Cotehele / browsing local galleries and has nice pubs. (Emma Trend lives there too).

@MaphiaTv @sanaravishing Agreed. The anxiety, impulsiveness / lack of filter, drive to blurt stuff out & keep talking at times (grafties case in point), his response to stress, the constant jiggling of his foot when sitting talking. I hope someone tells him cos it’s so much easier to know.
