@TheOxfordMail Although worth noting thst whatever the headline says they are talking about Upstart Crow not being renewed, not Ludwig.

@drhingram @CharlotteCGill Sadly then it needs to be seen as less dangerous to people’s future employment prospects than is currently the case.

@CharlotteCGill And yet STFC and UKRI cut industrial placement CASE phds in STEM over the last few years :-(

@thinkdefence Although honestly a list of the Mayfair apartments,private schools, and Oxford colleges where the oligarchs children are housed is probably good enough…

@thinkdefence A credible ABM system

@thinkdefence Then hardening, backup, depth, and more people to run it all

@andrew_lilico Bit difficult to say, I think there has been a long term drift leftwards and we are seeing a reaction to that now. I don’t think the people who want less migration (for example) have moved, they just haven’t been represented by the politicians they voted for.

@andrew_lilico In that whenever they adapt it it’s always set in the present day rather than the 1890s?

Manchester sadly knows terrorism only too well.
A book of condolence has been set up to show empathy towards the Jewish community affected at the Central Library.
The Israel-hating trolls couldn’t stay away: these sick f*cks set up right outside.

People who arrange attacks on synagogues believe themselves to be the Good Guys. We need to think about whether we contributed, actively or through negligence, to them coming to believe that.

[Richard Plackett 🟠⛵️ @rplackett]

I don’t normally post much on here, but today I would like to send my deepest sympathies and support to my Jewish friends, colleagues, neighbours, and fellow countrymen after the horrific attack in Manchester.

@thinkdefence The extremes at both ends are probably not where we want to be. There’s a good argument in remaining up to date, but we do seem very good at buying very few amazingly shiny things.
