Why couldn’t the @bbc just put up subtitles rather than translation by the ‘commentator’ very dull. Would rather listen to the French 🇫🇷

In 2023, 61 million people had to wait longer than two weeks for an appointment and almost 18 million had to wait more than four weeks

@Peston This is disgraceful I don’t think you’re being over sensitive. It’s cheap journalism

Boris Johnson today calls Starmer “Sir Keir Schnorrer” (see attached). “Schnorrer” is the Yiddish word for beggar and scrounger. It is pretty offensive. It was part of the lingua franca of my grandparents and of my childhood. I find it unsettling to see Johnson appropriating it to describe someone whose wife is Jewish - and especially when he says “if Schnorrer gets in, he will immediately begin the process of robbing this country of
its new-found independence
and make the UK the punk of the EU”. What do you think? Am I being over sensitive?

Anne Frank's father, Otto, visits the attic where they hid from the Germans in World War II. He stands alone as he is the only member of his family to have survived the Holocaust, 1960 .
This picture was taken in 1960 in the Netherlands, where the Frank Family hid from German troops. The Frank family were Jews during a time when Jews were sent away to be killed in concentration camps.
The Franks are one of the most well-known Jewish families during the war due to Anne Frank (Otto's daughter) writing a diary about her experiences in hiding.
Her diary has been republished and has sold more than 30 million copies and has been translated into 70 languages. In her diary, she talks about life in hiding, school, growing up and her fears about the German forces in the area.
At some point, the Franks were found. There are varying accounts as to how they were caught. Some say they were betrayed, and some say there were just found by German troops when they inspected the house they were hiding in.
The door leading to the attic was hidden behind a bookcase, but it is not known for sure how the Germans knew it was a false door that led to the secret hiding spot. They were in hiding for 761 days.
Anne and her sister Margot were sent to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. They died there in March 1945 due to Typhus fever as the camp had a massive outbreak problem of Typhus at the time.
They died two weeks before the camp was liberated. Anne was only 16, and Margot was 19. Their parents, Otto and Edith, were sent to Auschwitz Birkenau, the worst of the concentration camps.
Edith would die of starvation three weeks before the camp was liberated. Otto survived and lived until he died in 1980. Edith would be buried with him 18 years later. Their daughter's bodies were never found. Photographer: Arnold Newman
