Oh please go and see The Secret Agent. It’s a terrific film and so accurate on life in Brazil then. The clothes. The smoking indoors. All of it.

πŸ“’It's paperback publication day for 'Anywhere But Here'. Now half the piece, half the weight and just as good, if not better (it's been updated!).

Lyse Doucet: "Remarkable"
Caroline Lucas: "Beautifully-written, bold, brave"
The Guardian: "Excellent"

I feel a bit sorry for him. He lied the first time he said it and now he has to double down on it. Oh wait no, I don’t feel sorry for him. It’s hilarious.

London. Western media doing such a poor job of explaining what’s going on. We need you.

I think I could write a training course on how to give feedback to people you are coaching.
1. Acknowledge what they do correctly
2. Don’t make fun of what they do wrong
3. Don’t praise and then say β€œbut”.
Praise. Pause. β€œI want to work on …”
Oh wait. That’s it.

I’m trying to train myself not to notice but if you end up in court I will contribute to your legal fees.

Home Secretary halts visas from nations 'exploiting British generosity' after launching asylum crackdown | LBC The Government has immediately halted all study visas from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan, and work visas for Afghan.

What about the tax exiles in Dubai, who now seek to exploit British generosity to emigrants who left the UK to avoid paying tax yet want to use our defence infrastructure?

In my day we did this properly; fights with neighbouring schools were the result of long-cherished multi-generational grudges.

Well… I just hope we’re not going to send planes to Dubai to assist the fuckers who moved to Dubai to avoid paying the taxes that pay for things like repatriation flights.

Seriously?? Britain is to actively support a nation guilty of genocide & put the lives of our forces in harms way? Shit, no way #Starmer. Time for some serious protest.

Unsurprisingly, the hotel hit in Dubai receives more Western media attention than the girls' school destroyed by Israel in Minab, Iran.

Because, remember, it's a tragedy only if white and rich people are hurt.

I’m reading Ed Husain’s The House of Islam. Basically we’ve learned nothing, for decades.

NEW. This is an elementary girls school in the city of Hormozgan in Iran.

In the last hour, it was hit by a US/Israeli missile attack.

So far, 24 young girls are confirmed dead [SOURCE: Al Jazeera].

The US has just committed a war crime.

Ok. Point accepted. I apologise for too quickly assuming you were one of those blaming schools for failing at things they are doing quite well at IME.
