#UAE & #Egypt leaders met in #Cairo ahead of the #G7_Summit in #France Though framed as “fraternal visit,” the encounter carried clear political weight, almost certainly addressing #Yemen, #Sudan, #Somalia,& #RedSea corridor. Read my latest argument👇hintsa9.wordpress.com/2026/0…

Sharia law doesn’t affect Reform MPs living in the UAE . It doesn’t affect non Muslims living in the UK .

I enjoyed Ulysses immensely, but there's something wrong about claiming a novel that most would not take the effort to read the "greatest novel of the century". The people who spend years chasing down all its intricate allusions must be very bored. The joke's on them.

No messing! @barrygardiner cuts to the chase on Thames Water. Shareholders should not receive any compensation: and Government has the power to do it. Sign our petition if you agree Thames Water should be taken into public ownership. vist.ly/57y8v

Court documents showed that half of all books published by the big five sell fewer than 12 copies. If Publishers "want to sell books" they'd pick authors who could at least get their friends or family to buy a copy. Publishers have more important things to do than "sell books".

A shocking number of people graduate with English degrees having never seriously read Dickens, Chaucer, or Shakespeare. Yet they can explain three different forms of oppression in The Handmaid’s Tale.

The Narnia books get unfairly dismissed as children’s books, when in fact Lewis was paying homage to the medieval and Renaissance literature he taught and loved. The walled garden in The Magician’s Nephew is cribbed from the thirteenth-century poem The Romance of the Rose. The Lady of the Green Kirtle draws inspiration from the evil enchantresses in Spenser’s Faerie Queene; the green of her kirtle alludes to Thomas the Rhymer and Sir Gawain & the Green Knight. The whole series rings with echoes of Dante. Lewis was able to write a great work of literature because he had a mind utterly steeped in the classics.

Supporting fellow authors is something that I will never stop doing. I might not be able to read 100's of books but every year I vow to read multiple indie books. Supporting authors matters, their stories matter also. Here's what I read last year. Reviews below

THIS IS HAPPENING HERE @TRobinsonNewEra "Holland calls them lover boys. The UK calls them grooming gangs. India calls it love jihad. We're in the United States of America; This is happening here. Do not kid yourselves"

The UK government ALLOWED organised Muslim gangs to groom, rape, torture & traffic vulnerable white working-class girls while dismissing the victims & calling them “white trash.” Police were also involved & even drove these girls to their abusers locations. They participated & covered it up. There has still been no real consequences or justice. Many of these girls have taken their own life & others live with crippling trauma & PTSD. What you allow will continue.

How does the UAE allegedly profit from Sudan’s gold? This report follows the trail from Sudan to Kenya and beyond, detailing allegations of gold smuggling networks, sanctioned RSF-linked figures, and documents that reportedly allowed key individuals to move freely around the world Watch the shocking report!!

#Sudan called for an end to what it described as #UAE  support for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) during a session of the United Nations Human Rights Council arguing that halting external backing for the paramilitary group is essential to ending the war . en.sudannow.net/sudan-calls-…

I'm not listening to writer advice from someone who just used the word "chunked."

Elite university students are now incapable of reading a book. Instead of fixing this, universities are simply reducing reading requirements to shorter and shorter excerpts. This is no mere literacy crisis. It is a civilizational one. To fight back, we started an online book club to study the great texts of Western Civilization — if the schools and universities won't teach the great books, we must form reading groups to study them ourselves. Every month, we read a new great work. We've covered texts like Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Inferno, The Count of Monte Cristo, Don Quixote. We're now reading Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. We must study the ideas upon which the West was built if we are to preserve it. It takes effort to read these texts, and even more to read them well. Thats what we're doing, slowly, in dialogue with each other. If you'd like to be part of this, please join our reading group and consider a paid subscription. It makes a HUGE difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this project. We are entirely funded by our members. You'll get: - Live book club discussions (biweekly) - Access to our incredible community chat - Essays to guide you through the Great Books - All past recordings, essays, and podcasts - Ability to vote on what we read next athenaeumbooks.com/welcome Welcome!

Tengo tantos libros pendientes que he decidido no comprar más… jamás. En absoluto. Ni uno. Lo juro.🤥
