Great idea. Always been fascinated by these tunnels and shelters. Not only their wartime significance, but they were used to house some of the original Windrush arrivals.

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.
The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.
Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

Thoroughly enjoying @dominicnolan.bsky.social latest novel White City. He is a master at painting a picture of London's dark underbelly of the past, and building such depth in his characters. Any story with a retired ventriloquist living upstairs gets my vote.

The reception that Nigel Farage received today at the farmers protests in London, should be an indication that we should never become a Republic. The people whose industries he campaigned for and ruined, welcomed him like a hero in the streets of London.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

An inheritance tax charge helps farming to reclaim farming for farmers and for the benefit of the people of this country. Labour is, for once, on their side and even doing the right thing.

Western leaders cannot call what is occurring in Gaza a genocide because they are themselves all complicit. Just like a gang of thieves that can’t admit the wrongdoing of the others without incriminating themselves, they are obliged by their guilt to lie to their last breath.

BlueSky has already started censoring criticism of Israel.
Israel is literally committing genocide. To label criticism of that ‘intolerance’ is obviously absurd — and a mechanism of suppressing opposition to, and therefore emboldening, that genocide.
