Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

These are apparently facial reconstructions of a 2,300-year-old Pazyryk Scythian male and female from the same kurgan in Berel, Kazakhstan and not - as I first thought - that couple I met at a Spiral Tribe soundsystem in 1992 who sold me E that turned out to be paracetamol.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

If a news organisation is making -200% margin after five years, it is not a commercial operation and should be assumed to have a different purpose.
The channel lost £33 million to communicate its content to a large audience

Fitzgerald was so real writing “They were careless people - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” So many messes they won’t be cleaning
It’s bad because of all the collateral damage (us) but also good because we have so little to enjoy in American politics

Going to keep saying it - the Farage effect is largely an illusion. Many, many more people loathe him than like him.

Well done Labour
Anyone who thought you represented real change now despises you.
Anyone who didn’t, still won’t.
People who weren’t that convinced but hoped for the best are out of patience.
You’ve managed to turn off everyone.
Quite the achievement!

Today's performative clampdown on migrants will gut our care homes of desperately needed staff.
We are *already* short of over 150k carers.
Banning foreign care workers will only exacerbate this - increasing suffering of society's most vulnerable members & pressures on the NHS.
It's madness.
