Regular as a well wound clock, Yaxley-Lennon uses his Irish passport to come to London, gain publicity, claim victimhood, milk racist marks on his latest gofundme legal costs then fuck off back to luxury villas abroad to snort charlie until his annual 'can't wear a poppy' Armistice Day visit.

As a fashion historian, I will die on this hill: the point of having blue hair and nose rings (or spiky nails or stripper heels or tattoos or an all-black wardrobe) is not to look pretty or cool.

If you'd asked me which celebrity would posthumously unveil a list of people she wanted fired into the sun, I would not have guessed Jane Goodall

Do you know any libraries or groups in Edinburgh or Scotland that might like a copy of “Honour is in Contentment: Life Before Oil in Ras Al-Khaimah (UAE) and Some Neighbouring Regions” by my late parents - in Arabic translation?

It really is striking how much they want us to see images of their own brutality. The pretense of being anything but a exercise in violence has all but disappeared.

Worth always keeping in mind that the Guardian has a commercial partnership with OpenAI, so nothing it writes about AI can be trusted

Cable Street battle, Jewish London East End #OnThisDay 4 Oct 1936 with banner explicitly adapting antifascist slogan of defence of Madrid "NO PASARÁN." They shall not pass. Remember Olympia refers to 1934 British Union of Fascists meeting where they set on antifascist protesters
