“Smaller Irish towns have banners everywhere saying Ireland is only for the Irish. The racism is no longer subtle,” says literary critic Jean-Pierre Ndahiro.

After the death of Yves Sakila, many say racism in Ireland is being ignored.

New figures show Reform raked in £9m in 3 months, with Farage still in the hotseat for his £5m "gift" from billionaire Chris Harborne.

£4m came from billionaire Ben Delo, who was convicted for facilitating money laundering in the US, but pardoned by Trump.

It's 124 years since the birth of Harry Beck, the man who gifted London (and the world) with one of the most iconic maps of all time. Have you visited his Blue Plaque in Leytonstone?

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww

South West Water fined £1.853m for supplying contaminated drinking water.

SWW is a serial offender, loses 107m litres of water daily to leaky pipes, dumped sewage in rivers for 407,006 hours.

Still trades. No exec fined, charged. People fleeced.

The bulb in the overhead projector has blown.

The Banda copier is out of ink.

The big TV is playing up.

The Coomber has gone off to be repaired.

And now it's time for us to go too.

Thank you for your company. It's meant more than you'll ever know.
God bless you all.

In this thread, I'm going to reflect a little on the impact that the pandemic has had on children, educators & schools.

I apologise at the outset if this is sensitive, particularly for those who have experienced loss, hardship or suffering.

On Thursday I had the privilege to visit the museum at Grini, just outside Oslo. Grini was the first prison camp built by the Germans in Norway, and housed over 20,000 prisoners (make and female) between 41-45. I'm currently writing about the very first inmates. 1/3

Counter terror police stopped and interrogated an independent cafe owner, in order to intimidate him before offering him financial benefits to spy on Palestine Action.

Instead of taking the offer, he went public to expose the state. https://t.co/VW5M75luYm

This massacre of medics would be branded terrorism if in Israel by Hezbollah so what is it by Israel in Lebanon?

The mass killing of emergency workers in Lebanon and, before that, Gaza is surely another war crime.
