If 26 people remember your appalling racist behaviour as a schoolboy and are willing to call you out for it 50 years later you cannot simply brush it off and say it doesn't matter.
"The child is the father of the man," as William Wordsworth once put it. And this father was a nasty bullying bigot.

From the new chief of Britain's MI6:
"Hundreds of thousands have died, with the toll mounting every day, because of Putin’s historical distortions and his compromised desire for respect. He is dragging out negotiations and shifting the cost of war onto his own population."

🇪🇺 The EU’s struggle isn’t just about Belgium blocking the use of €210 B frozen Russian assets for Ukraine, it’s about intense U.S pressure. According to Politico, Trump officials have been pushing European capitals to reject the plan, deepening divisions just days before a crucial EU summit.

Remember when, in the post-Referendum years, Remain had over 50% support in the polls, but the BBC ignored Remainers because the two main parties in Parliament were pro-Brexit. But now the BBC says it has to give massive coverage to Reform UK, because it has 30% in the polls.

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years”
