In this current harsh world, let's warm a few hearts remembering the events of 7-8 March 1991, when the 90,000 people of Brindisi woke up to find 25,000 Albanians roaming the streets of their town. For perspective, that's roughly equivalent to 25k people suddenly landing in Hastings [Thread] >> 1

When Sir Jim Ratcliffe Plays the Colonised As someone raised in a country shaped by British colonial rule, I know what domination looks like. Migration under UK law isnโ€™t it.

Speaking as an immigrant out of Monaco, Sir Jim Ratcliffe told us this week that Britain has been โ€œcolonisedโ€.

Except that Britain still writes its own laws, controls its own borders and governs its own migration system.

Almost as though he doesnโ€™t have the foggiest what heโ€™s talking about.

The woman they interviewed said that AI โ€œcould help you with a spreadsheetโ€.

Itโ€™s two hours later and Iโ€™m still trying to work out WTF she meant.

A spreadsheet is a tool. If you need help using the tool you shouldnโ€™t be in a job that requires the tool.

Never underestimate the power of the union. Or a comma.
