Growing up I naively thought a hurl was just for playing hurling.
Fast forward to 2026 and it's used to stop Sudanese migrants from beheading your neighbour.
"Para enseñar a Israel cómo "hacer la paz", Pippa Bacca, la izquierdista italiana, decidió en 2004 viajar a dedo desde Turquía hasta Israel.
Incluso aprendió árabe básico para demostrar que el islam no es violento.
Una vez en Turquía, fue violada en grupo y asesinada.
Tenía 33 años".

I’ve spoken a lot about the abuse of WFH since leaving government.
We have to be honest about the problem. As it is, civil servants are only required to spend 60% of their time in the office. A significant number are not meeting that (very modest) directive. Government departments are deserted on Fridays.
There is a simple solution: those who refuse to come in should lose the London Location Allowance (around £5,000) added to officials’ salaries - the entire purpose of which is to compensate for the costs of in-person, London-based commuting and working. If they’re not incurring those costs why should they get the extra cash?
If some of the money saved was spent on performance bonuses for those who are coming in and delivering results the policy could even win the support of civil servants
This @TrevorPTweets interview with @ZackPolanski needs to be shared and viewed as widely as possible.
I've never before seen an interviewer give a proper focus to Polanski's dissembling and refuse to let him get away with his usual evasions.
It's a masterclass in the importance of serious scrutiny, which is now so lacking in broadcast journalism (with the exception of @TrevorPTweets)

Was at the WH Correspondents dinner last night, a rare DC trip for me without a subpoena. On the positive side—was exciting, no one was killed, and ended early. I noted a new litmus for status among the gov’t elite—whether you were whisked away by secret service, or left to fend.
A mystery moneyman's donations could carry Nigel Farage to power. He lives in Thailand and is “intensely private”. I’ve spent months investigating who he is, what he wants and his crypto fortune. Here, for the first time, is the story of Chris Harborne https://t.co/CLCwSuTdRH
