I was born in Leicester but have lived abroad for many years. I'm a university teacher, here to talk about sport, books, TV series, walking, food, politics, AI and anything else that interests me. I'm opinionated but open to other views.

Plain rice and little else: life for 120,000 refugees inside Mauritania’s vast camp on Mali’s border
Over a quarter of a million refugees live in Mbera and nearby villages, and more than half are under 18. But aid cuts mean providing essentials has become even harder

This sums it all up pretty well:
What we saw yesterday wasn't about the "protecting our children" at all.
Thousands of Irish children are allegedly sexually assaulted every single year on our island.
But by white guys!!
Usually family/ friends of family.
No riots for them ofcourse... 🤔

Idi Amin deported 80,000 Asians from Uganda in 1972. So although the Conservatives want to propose the first mass deportation of legal migrants since Idi Amin - especially with the retrospective changes in ILR - Lam is proposing to deport 20 times as many people as Idi Amin.

The Epstein files contain the name of a prominent former PM who brutally beat & sexually assaulted an 18 year old.
Trump, Bondi, Patel & Johnson don’t want the world to know his name.
That’s why Johnson will have the House adjourned today for the 78th day out of the last 90.

There were boos and empty seats as Leicester City threw away a lead for the second home game in a row – games which have summed up the wider situation at the club both on and off the pitch.
