For me, it's the bathetic "God help us" that makes it. God, up in heaven, listening to the billions of desperate prayers of a burning war-torn world, hears "The National Trust has put vegan tampons in the men's toilets" and thinks "Now THIS is a crisis that demands divine intervention"

Volgens D66-leider Rob Jetten moeten we met extreemrechtse partijen blijven praten. Maar experts zeggen dat zulke gesprekken extreemrechtse standpunten juist normaliseren. De vraag is: herkennen we fascisme nog wel? www.oneworld.nl/mensenrechte...

A record 1,611 people — including 11 children — died while homeless in 2024.

Both Labour and the Conservatives have failed to fix Britain’s housing crisis.

A home is not a privilege.
A home is a human right.

Het is voor een ontwikkelde rechtsstaat een onmisbare randvoorwaarde

Fouten in beslissingen achterhalen, aan instanties en rechters uitleggen en zorgen voor herstel. Het is een vak.
