Again: a suffragette threw an axe at Herbert Asquith
Replying to @harriepw
The Lady Chief Justice said proscription of Palestine Action “struck a fair balance” and that PA is not a peaceful civil disobedience group like the Suffragettes

Thanks to my haul from this year's Reading #1001Beers share I'd a choice for Beer 700. Opted for Nikšićko Tamno from "little Montenegro down on the Adriatic Sea!” - that country's only book beer. It's everything I want from a dark beer: creamy choc, bitter finish. Delicious.

Call me a hater but I think living in a world where both trillionaires and global poverty coexist is a sign humanity has failed as a species
Elon Musk has become the first trillionaire in history.

Musk as a trillionaire- anyone as a trillionaire- is a grotesque economic, moral and political problem. We cannot have individuals with that level of power, whatever they might have achieved.

This sums up exactly what is happening perfectly and what can you say in response.

Veteran news anchor Jon Snow has shared that he’s living with dementia, speaking publicly for the first time to raise awareness of a condition affecting around 1 million people across the UK. Jon and his wife, neurologist Dr Precious Lunga, are supporting Alzheimer’s Society @alzheimerssoc and shared the story of Jon’s diagnosis in @DailyMail as part of our Defeating Dementia campaign with the newspaper. dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/arti… We’ve partnered with Jon, in association with @Channel4, on a powerful new documentary airing on 20 June. Jon Snow: A Last Big Story looks at how he’s navigating life with dementia, and how, when we all come together, we can change the story. Thank you to Jon and Precious for their courage and openness to bring much-needed attention to dementia 💙 @jonsnowC4 Photo credit: Cynthia R Matonhodze

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 bbc.com/news/articles/cpqxrz…

This was exactly what I wanted. Had to laugh at the fact they can sell you a beer but can't open it - the most "are we in Norn Iron" licensing moment I've had in ages!
