Which is quite extraordinary because digital cameras were petty thin on the ground then, and phones with cameras were like hen's teeth! So where did the cats come from?

I am sure there will be many opinions about the visual representation of the massacre, and I did at some points think that the equally compelling audio would have impressed as a radio broadcast, but it's certainly terribly informative and horrific. #Channel4News

I often mention the colours of things in an image, like black cat lying on a tan leather sofa with red blanket in the background, but I often wonder if that is useful for people who have never been able to see.

Japan does, (for tourists at least). When I visited they had a charming and very efficient paper based system - you got a cloakroom ticket stapled into your passport which was torn out when you left! The border staff kept the stubs.

Much of the commentary on Bluesky seems to come from white liberal minded people, which is fine, but it's missing something very obvious.

Oooh, that sounds nice. Lidl also do (in Greek weeks) cubed cheese with herbs in oil, in a jar. Very handy for jazzing up a green salad!
