Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Turns out you can be the richest man in the world *and* so cravenly hungry for adulation that, when all else fails, you’ll beg for it from the very worst of your fellow humans. Musk’s interest in the U.K. is directly proportionate to the volume of our far right Twitter. The ultimate simp symbiosis.

My latest Guardian piece.
Until I moved to Wales, I never knew how badly it was treated.
Working at a journo it became clear that not only is Wales treated like less of a country than Scotland, but that it has come to just accept this poor treatment.

The most infuriating thing isn’t that Wales is treated as a non-country – it’s that we accept it | Will Hayward

In 1967 a much poorer Wales built over 20,000 new homes - including 10.5k council homes.
Last year we built 4,710 homes and 70 of those were council houses.

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”
