BBC R4 yesterday: Evan Davies asked a Spanish historian how to "depoliticise" remembering the fascist Franco regime so it wasn't just leftwing people who cared about all the dead victims.
Like there's a magical version of memories of fascism that the rightwing won't suppress and BBC can support.

Israel just hit the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, Ain al Hilweh, with missiles.
It’s a dense camp with the presence of many Palestinian factions but also many civilians.

Filming at an abandoned uranium mine in Arizona. The mining waste is uncontained, open to the winds. Professor Kearfott, University of Michigan, telks me the Geiger counter readings I took here are similar to those remaining around Chernobyl.

To quote Jonathan Carroll, "Open any page of Chandler at random & you can teach a writing class from it."
"...back towards town along a three-lane highway washed clean by the rain, past low rolling hills of yellow-white sand terraced with pink moss. Seaward a few gulls wheeled and swooped over something in the surf and far out a white yacht looked as if it was hanging in the sky."

The only Legitimate Concerns about asylum seekers are concerns for their well being and safety. For a rich country like ours to incessantly whine about these people as if we are their victims is perhaps the single most pathetic spectacle in British politics over the past quarter century.
