Es gibt halt ernsthaft Leute, die Brötchen mit Schwarzbrot nicht kennen und ich frage mich bei solchen Sachen immer: Sind wir wirklich ein Volk? Teilen wir wirklich die gleichen Werte?

Of course, there are still people making quality umbrellas. Among them are Fox Umbrellas, Swaine London (formerly Swaine Adeney Brigg), James Smith & Sons, Mario Talarico, Francesco Maglia, and Parasolerie Heurtault.

Just to repeat, Katie Lam is advocating for ethnic cleansing and Robert Peston just nods it along

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 3d

So Peston failed to ask

"No British government has ever revoked permanent status retrospectively. has it"

"Has ANY government done this since Idi Amin?"

"So you want to deport most nurses who aren't citizens, simply because they don't earn enough money. Do you think that is fair play?"

Warum Maga sich im UK schon jetzt deutlich machtvoller einmischt als im Rest Europas. Und warum Grossbritannien gegen diese Art der 'foreign interference' sehr viel schlechter gewappnet ist als andere Länder in Europa.

Some things I saw recently that I think are cool:

— New outerwear at Husbands Paris and Auter
— New knits at Buck Mason and HE Sports
— Patek 2552 and Ed White Speedy at Wind Vintage; Patek 3448 at Sothebys; Vacheron 4072 at Menta Watches
— Italian donkeys carrying baby lambs in a special jacket

Four photos. The top two show a brown single-breasted overcoat from Husbands Paris made from a nubby tweed. The bottom two show a technical parka and brown double-breasted overcoat from Auter

Four photos. The first shows a faded blue indigo sweatshirt from Buck Mason. The second shows a cream Aran from Buck Mason. The bottom two show a cream ribbed crewneck sweater and brown shawl collar cardigan, both from HE Sports.

Four photos. The first two show a gold Patek 2552 watch and Ed White Speedmaster chronograph at Wind Vintage. The third shows a white gold Patek 344 perpetual calendar with a moonphase complication at Sothebys, and the fourt shows a yellow gold Vacheron 4072 dress chronograph at Menta Watches.

A bunch of donkeys wearing a jacket across their back. The jacket has a bunch of pockets, in which there are small little lambs.

Immer, wenn Willian Pacho für Paris ein Tor macht, dann erinnern wir uns an einen Sommer als Gladbach den großen Rückzieher machte. Es war nicht der erste und blieb nicht der letzte, der nicht kommen durfte, weil dem Verein das Sparen wichtiger wurde als der Erfolg. Eintracht Frankfurt lacht hart!

Berichte: Gladbach lässt Pacho-Transfer platzen – Independiente erwägt rechtliche Schritte

Der Wechsel von William Pacho von Independiente del Valle zu Borussia Mönchengladbach galt als so gut wie sicher. Nun ist er offenbar doch noch geplatzt. [...]
