As every journalist knows, it’s always the right move to offer your sources advice on how to blackmail their co-conspirators re charges of sexual predation and child trafficking

From the insertion of IUDs to pregnancy to birth, there has always been an implicit expectation that women should suffer and experience pain, and a minimisation of that pain. The far-right's ideal of a mother is one who dies in labour.

It's a story that encapsulates everything I love about France, everything I love about football, and everything I love about the banlieue (where I live!). And in these horrible times, to work on a piece that is nothing but pure joy is a real privilege.
