Terrific @philippesands.bsky.social on R4 on aftermath of far right taking over Chile using military to organise putsch 1973. It is granular detail of individuals fighting for justice that is important and fascinating. It is why Trump and Putin and Bandenoch-Farage hate ECHR, international law

Nicholas Sarkozy conviction for massive corruption upheld by France's top court. Unlike Britain France avoids sending pensioners to prison for non-violent crimes so he'll serve 1 year sentence tagged. Compare UK justice failure to deal with Covid or Russian corruption of Tories

Britain has set a new wind generation record.
"At 7:30pm on 11 November wind turbines...provided enough clean electricity to power more than 22 million homes"
"Wind was delivering 43.6% of all power on the system which means three quarters of Britain’s homes were effectively running on wind alone"

Really? Telegraph editors, journalists given up old traditions of rigorous news reporting especially foreign to promote anti European, anti-immigrant, pro Trump Farage-Brexit Tory Weltanschauung. GBNews and DTel presenters/columnists interchangeable
GB News investor and Spectator owner Paul Marshall is in the running to buy the Telegraph now that the RedBird takeover plan has collapsed, the Guardian reports.
Hard to see this being anything other than a disaster for public discourse in Britain if that goes ahead.
