Opinionated but try to admit when I'm wrong. I drink too much on Fridays and I am going grey, getting fat and I make an involuntary noise when I pick things up from the floor.
Ooh. I'd like to dive this.
Wow, “French marine archaeologists have discovered a massive undersea wall off the coast of Brittany, dating from around 5,000 BC”.

Huge undersea wall dating from 5000 BC found in France
The 120 metre wall was either a fish-trap or a dyke for protection against rising sea-levels, archeologists believe.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

A useful reminder that withdrawal from the ECHR is an epically stupid policy.
A wave from Brussels, my diplomatic home for nearly three years, where everyone keeps asking me why Britain would want to commit another act of self-harm by withdrawing from the ECHR. It's viewed so differently here.

This should be seen not as an immigration issue for the Home Office immigration department to address but as a much wider cross-government issue of lack of legal enforcement of minimum wage, company director responsibilities, trading standards and more.

The BBC headline with "migrants" is already terrible and plays into the far-right narrative. And the solution to asylum-seekers being exploited by criminals is to allow them to contribute by working legally rather than making them survive on a pittance.

Andrew Tate has been charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm. Nigel Farage described him as "an important voice for young men". That tells you all you need to know about Farage's moral compass.

Honestly, using reed / thatch as internal insulation could lead to serious climate / human progress. It's so easy to use. Also makes clay drywall boards climate neutral on paper.
