Immigration makes Britain brilliant.

On this day May 5th 1981, Bobby Sands passed away after 66 days on hunger strike. “I may die, but the Republic of 1916 will never die. Onward to the Republic and liberation of our people.” — Bobby Sands

Mick Jagger reveals how Robert Smith ended up on The Rolling Stones' new album: "I turned up one day to do my vocals in London and there's this bloke standing there with his back to me with his long gown on, and when he turned around he was covered in lipstick. "I've never met him before and I said, 'You are Robert Smith of The Cure.' And he said, he said, 'Yeah, we've never met.' And then I said, 'Well, while you're here then you'd better go and do something.' That's how collaborations work sometimes. Go out and sing the backing vocal."

Victoria Derbyshire spend 8 minutes taking apart Nigel Farage's £5,000,000 gift "As you'd expect we asked Reform UK for an interview tonight. One Reform UK press officer asked: with who and to discuss what" "We said we'd like to talk about the local elections, the detention centres in Green areas, and £5m gift from Christopher Harborne" "We didn't receive another reply"

Umberto Eco, qui possédait 50 000 livres, disait ceci à propos des bibliothèques personnelles : "Il est insensé de penser qu'il faut lire tous les livres qu'on achète, tout comme il est insensé de critiquer ceux qui achètent plus de livres qu'ils ne pourront jamais en lire. Ce serait comme dire qu'il faut utiliser tous les couverts ou les lunettes, les tournevis ou les forets que vous avez achetés avant d'en acheter de nouveaux. Il y a des choses dans la vie pour lesquelles nous avons besoin de toujours avoir suffisamment de provisions, même si nous n'en utilisons qu'une petite partie. Si, par exemple, nous considérons les livres comme des médicaments, nous comprenons qu'il est bon d'en avoir plusieurs à la maison plutôt que quelques-uns : quand on veut se sentir mieux, alors on va au « placard à pharmacie » et on choisit un livre. un livre aléatoire, mais le bon livre pour le moment. C'est pourquoi vous devriez toujours avoir un choix nutritionnel ! Ceux qui n'achètent qu'un seul livre, ne lisent que celui-là et s'en débarrassent ensuite. Ils appliquent simplement la mentalité de consommateur aux livres, c'est-à-dire qu'ils les considèrent comme un produit de consommation, un bien. Ceux qui aiment les livres savent qu'un livre est tout sauf une marchandise."
