@simonmontefiore @akoz33 Deeply chilling and frightening.

I had never read this famous interview with KHOMEINI by Oriana Fallaci. It is both chilling and hilarious. Do read it. Here is an extract: KHOMEINI: The women who contributed to the revolution were, and are, women with the Islamic dress, not elegant women all made up like you, who go around all uncovered, dragging behind them a tail of men. The coquettes who put on makeup and go into the street showing off their necks, their hair, their shapes, did not fight against the Shah. They never did anything good, not those. They do not know how to be useful, neither socially, nor politically, nor professionally. And this is so because, by uncovering themselves, they distract men, and upset them. Then they distract and upset even other FALLACI: That's not true, Imam. In any case, I am not only talking about piece of clothing, but what it represents. That is, the condition of segregation into which women have been cast once again, after the revolution. The fact that they can't study at university with men, or work with men, for example, or go to the beach or to a swimming pool with men. They have to take a dip apart, in their chadors. By the way, how do you swim in a chador? KHOMEINI: This is none of your business. Our customs are none of your business. If you do not like Islamic dress you are not obliged to wear it. Because Islamic dress is for good and proper young women. nytimes.com/1979/10/07/arc…

@nubient Sad news. He was a legend. Brilliant tunes.

RIP J Saul Kane - a very talented and influential producer

@harrym_vids Awful news Harry. Dim and destructive

That’s the end of family farms in the UK. Very sad news and will be devastating to many of our most loved rural areas. #Budget2024

@mrmarkmillar Loved The Shadow. Quite brilliant comics. Chaykin is under rated. American Flagg is the best.

@matwatsoncars Hello Mat, a rather large turning circle for you.

This is a big deal! carwow has acquired Autovia which includes brands Auto Express, evo, Carbuyer and Driving Electric. I'm super excited and looking forward to working with their fantastic content teams. The move makes us the UK's largest online car destination. 🚀

@WinCollC Well done Wilf. X

Great effort from Wilf at Recita last night.

@TideBusiness Now half my payees' details have disappeared. crap and admin heavy

🚀As we go into 2024, our CEO reflects on our achievements & shares what’s coming: “I’m extremely proud and grateful for what we’ve achieved, particularly in the face of strong macroeconomic headwinds, and anticipate another year of exciting developments." bit.ly/48eACgr

@TideBusiness And also not including business accounts on the central banking register so they come up as unknown when customers try to pay, so that it creates an issue where customers think it's a fraud account.

@TideBusiness You really need to sort out your banking platform. It just fails all the time. Unreliable and wastes precious time. Customer support is unreliable too

@dominicyoung Good article! Enjoyed that.

Publishers have a guilty secret. A huge proportion of subscribers are "zombies" - hardly ever visiting the sites they pay for. Trying to hold on to them is holding publishers back from innovating even as their subscription models pass their peak. @dominic_young/why-news-publishers-need-not-fear-the-walking-dead-b328fb9763e2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@dominic_young…

Real pity.

@SteveFowler You might need to downgrade your dog to a smaller model.

Dad: I know you like driving the Taycan Cross Turismo, but can I have the Defender back, please?

Or have closed loops on your phone system that tell me how busy you are or prioritising other people. In prior years BA just answered the phone and helped. Help please.

@British_Airways what’s your customer email? I need to change a flight and the website won’t allow me to do it as it’s code share with Qatar. Thanks!

A hearty congratulations to @theweekjuniorus and @abarbalich’s team on their 💯issue. What a fabulous run! Well done team. Super cover too.

@sjrconsulting1 @British_Airways I was on the same flight. Felt sorry for the poor pilots and staff carrying the can for under resourcing and poor preparation. Now stuck in baggage hall ‘awaiting bags’ and fear it’s going to be a long wait…

@British_Airways even our pilot has told us the service is a disgrace. Delayed out of Geneva tonight by over an hour. No food to buy, now waiting for jetty for over an hour. The crew have been forced to work extra hours. Everyone on #Ba733 been asked to complain to #seandoyle

@rshotton Soteriou Banerji. Robert Soteriou is v nice and competent.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good accountant for a small business? Or a way of working out who is suitable?

Come On!!!!!!!!
