The BBC are calling it a "political row" - but it is no such thing. This is an affair about Reform's and Farage's finances that is investigated by various bodies including the police. Almost like they're calling it a "political row" only to be able to present it in the way they're doing it.

"Fiona Cottrell's son, George Cottrell, has been at the centre of a political row in recent weeks."

Too much information...

The so-called "pee curve" shows a spike in water usage during the halftime break of football matches—and has even caused pipes to burst in the past. The "hydration break" offers only limited relief.

Hyperbolic reporting

Hegseth is interfering in European politics in which he has no business. That is inappropriate behaviour for a supposed ally. Hegseth mentioning "invasions" of beaches on D-day should really make us question on which side he stands and whether he is someone who is supporting a free society.

Progress at risk

Over the past 25 years notable improvements have been made in child well-being in the OECD/EU group of countries. There has been a steady decline in child mortality, an overall reduction in adolescent suicide and an increase in school completion rates. But in recent years, trends in basic areas of children’s well-being have shown warning signs of reversal.

Today’s children are growing up in a complex world marked by epidemics, conflict and extreme climate events. They grapple with rapid digital advancements and face threats brought by demographic shifts. The COVID-19 pandemic and related school closures caused significant learning losses. New risks to children’s health continue to emerge: Urban air pollution, synthetics and microplastics in environment can cause significant harm if left unchecked. Toxic materials are present in the toys children play with, the clothes they wear and the homes they live in. And while these issues disproportionately affect poor countries, the world’s wealthiest countries are not immune.

They are all behaving like they were acting in a certain play by Ionesco…

Rhinoceros - a play by Eugene Ionesco: Over the course of three acts, the inhabitants of a small, provincial French town turn into rhinoceroses; ultimately the only human who does not succumb to this mass metamorphosis is the central character, Bérenger.

I thought I'd translate this into contemporary German c1932, when the party was in opposition.

Quote from Katie Lam, Conservative MP, on a worn parchment background in the gothic font Fraktur, translated into German.

"Es gibt auch viele Menschen in diesem Lande, die legal eingereist sind, doch deren Einreise niemals hätte zugelassen werden dürfen. Es ist nicht die Schuld derjenigen, die hier hergekommen sind, doch sie hätten es einfach nicht dürfen.

Auch sie werden nach Hause gehen müssen. Zurück bleiben wird eine Gruppe von Menschen, die größtenteils, wenn auch nicht vollständig kulturell kohärent ist.“

There is also a headline, not part of the original quote or article, that reads: “Erklärung von Katie Lam über Das Problem der Einwanderer"
