@MrMichaelSpicer When I was 7 teacher asked me to spell my surname. I couldn't. He ridiculed me. I asked him to spell my surname. He couldn't so sent me to the Head teacher. Head asked why I'd been sent to her, I said, "Because the teacher can't spell my surname."

FRANCE 1945 WHEN SHAME WAS TAKEN OUT ON WOMEN After the war ended, France did not only celebrate liberation. In towns and cities across the country, around 20,000 women were publicly humiliated. Their heads were shaved, they were paraded through streets, spat on, beaten, and marked for life. Many were accused of “horizontal collaboration,” not for fighting, not for betraying the nation, but for relationships, conversations, dancing, or simply surviving under occupation. Some had German lovers. Some were translators. Some were accused with no proof at all.

@angus_young61 And Beverley Road baths, & Endsleigh college, etc. The rest of your write up about him was really nice to read though, his sense of humour, nice photos of his tilework and driveway gate at his Hornsea house.

@gurevitchesque Think I said the same thing - subcontractor not main builder.

New weekend long read on the Hull company owned by Robert Maxwell and its Soviet Union trading links at the fag end of the Cold War. Local journalism but not as you know it. Link to follow.

@SF_England I have several offers and haven't yet decided, still awaiting a couple of related application results. Hence why I asked, is there any specific dates I should be aware of? If you could let me know that'd be much appreciated.

"We will begin again and restore education in Gaza." In eastern Rafah, anti-Hamas teachers are building Gaza's first schools for peace and tolerance. WATCH:

On the first International Day of Peaceful Coexistence, we must ask: coexistence for whom? This blog by @nooranila reminds us that peace without safety, dignity and justice is an illusion. #HandsOffOurSpaces Read more: oxfam.org/en/blogs/peace…

Education unlocks human rights. Learning to understand and respect our dignity and rights and those of others lightens up our life and builds our community. In times of conflict and rapid change, that understanding matters. It’s why human rights education deserves our fullest support. What does human rights education look like where you are?

A thread, 2 vids + photos In 2007-8 I attended counselling to help cope with 3 traumatic life events, including bereavement. With support from local services to find housing in Glasgow, I sold my home in Yorkshire and was shown several flats for my budget.

@NaamodUK In a healthy, true & fair democracy policy & practice can be criticised, esp to achieve progress. That criticism was absent from Adolf Hitlers administration. Never again was the cry of survivors, so emotively comprehensible it is etched into human rights consciousness everywhere
