Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.

The near daily lexicographical treats from Susie Dent are a treat - the inventiveness, evolution and interactions of language, English and others, are endlessly fascinating. The social medium that predates and underlies all other social media.
The original ‘tosspot’, in the 16th century, was someone who ‘tossed back’ their ‘pot’ of beer and then immediately went back for another.

Can we add 'tossplonk' for wine drinkers (like me) - it already sounds provocatively insulting

I am not sure if anyone cares
what a 27 year old with autism
and special needs has to say,
but I want to help inspire others.
I lost both my parents when
I was 19. I was attacked
and bullied.
But it hasn’t broken me.

The most tragic and incomprehensible irony of my lifetime
Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained"
Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?
