I'm not saying the solutions are easy, but they would be a helluva lot nearer if you started with "What is the actual proplem?" and then moved to "What actions will in fact remedy it?"
'Is that true?' is an important question for governments to answer for many reasons, but from a 'actually getting re-elected' perspective, 'will this fix the problem we need it to?' is, you know, mission critical.

And the opposite of the "time magnifying glass" is the "Zeitraffer" – the "time gatherer" (gathering in the sense of gathering fabric together).
My favourite word for “slow motion”from another language is the German Zeitlupe. It means “time magnifying glass”

Ok, putting on training wheels for this conversation.
The main reason historians don't really like the notion of a "fall" of the Roman Empire anymore is because the transition between the Western Roman Empire and its barbarian successor states was far more orderly than people imagine

Look, if you are trailing a budget and then immediately walking it back, before trailing an asylum bill and immediately walking it back, then you are just bad at politics and policy. There are no redeeming features here.

He was a Whopper, I was a McRib—back for a limited time, only at participating locations. He told me to "have it your way," I was content enough to say "I'm lovin' it." Could I really be his Burger Queen? He doesn't have a worm in his brain by the way. So the memes are wrong, the ones about the worm

We were not asylum seekers, but nearly 50 years on, my mum still wistfully talks of the jewellery she had to sell to pay for the plane tickets that got us here.
Aside from this policy being unconscionable, it does make me wonder how many asylum seekers will have any such belongings to confiscate.

The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

Byzantine coin (tetarteron nomisma) of Emperor John I Tzimiskes, found at the late 10th century AD settlement of Ciepłe, Poland #MedievalMonday
They are rare in northern Europe, indicating Ciepłe was a significant early medieval centre with elite connections to Byzantium.
