In 'Nuremberg: The Translator’s Tale' I reveal one of the most extraordinary and moving stories from the Nuremberg Trials.
A German Jew working inches from the men who sent his own family to Auschwitz...

@LBCNewsScot Clearly not thought through. It's not just about securing a UK visa but the implications on his Indian citizenship.
English
The Scottish Greens have refused to answer questions at their photo call on the vetting of Dr Q Manivannan, around their visa.
Party officials told journalists to request interviews through the ‘proper channels’ as the new MSP’s student visa will expire this parliamentary term.
English
FM says he will invite all party leaders except Reform in to St Andrews House for talks about post election priorities. On cost of living, he will deal with supermarket price cap and £2 bis fare in first 100 days. He says UK Govt must engage on the constitution.
English
@alxgrd20 @TheParty1sOver I believe he is trying to apply for a graduate visa currently and trying to fund it with donations
English
So is this Q Green guy only a part time MSP? He's on a student visa which I think means he can only work a max 20 hours per week?
English
@TheParty1sOver By all accounts he's a phd candidate and hoping to get a graduate visa on which he can work full time
English
How can this Q guy work as a full time MSP??
He can only work 20 hours per week and he is not allowed to employ staff??
English
@CraigHouston_ By all accounts he's trying to get a graduate student visa, believe hes a phd candidate, which allows him to undertake full time work. These last for 2-3 years so he'd half to really during term.
English
It will be interesting to see what happens when he turns up at Holyrood and is asked “what’s your National Insurance number?”
If you don’t have the right to work in UK how can you be a MSP?

@MarinaPurkiss @JeremyVineOn5 I don't know how to debate would suffice. No need for 'this'.
English
I found this whole exchange appalling to be honest…
I don’t know how to debate this
Genuinely
Rude, dismissive, and unable to acknowledge any role that the actions of the Israeli government plays in fanning antisemitism.

@SimonCalder Leonardo Tower Hill - some of the rooms are not connected to main building. You have to access them externally through a secluded but public court yard. Arrived to find a group of men taking drugs. Not safe for lone female travellers. Removed from our Firms hotel list for travel.
English
Hotel security.
When you check in, you must accept that you are sharing the property with a random selection of humanity.
But every hotel guest has the right to expect privacy and safety in their room.
Tell me of encounters you have had with poor security.

@07aerograd @SimonCalder Had similar positive experiences with Premier Inn
English
@SimonCalder Stayed solo in a Premier Inn. Receptionist wrote room no. on the card, folded it over and gave me a room on the 2nd floor, saying it was policy not to give solo women ground floor rooms. V satisfactory.

What WW2 book will you be reading this weekend?

@CivicNatalist At 53 I've read nearly 4000 over my lifetime and I hope to that number each and every day.
English
Having zillions of books is just glorified hoarding behavior. Nobody can read more than a couple thousand books lifetime, you're either trying to buy them for archiving or you're a hoarder and the line can get super fuzzy super fast.

How does your home library stack up? In 2023 YouGov surveyed 29,000 Americans to see how many books they have in their homes. The results were disappointing to say the least. - 0 books: 9% (no books AT ALL) - 1–10 books: 20% - 11–25 books: 14% - 26–50 books: 13% - 51–100 books: 12% - 101–200 books: 10% - 201–500 books: 7% - 501–1,000 books: 4% - More than 1,000 books: 3%

@beckstar2 @premierinn I use @premierinn Manchester airport quite regularly as a single female traveller & this has never happened to me- it is always written down on the key card envelope
English
Hugely, frighteningly disappointing to be at reception in the @premierinn Lincoln City Centre today and overhear the male check-in clerk LOUDLY ANNOUNCE a lone woman’s room number to her and all of us in reception. This is absolutely unacceptable, unsafe behaviour.
English
@linkedout_uk @beckstar2 @premierinn Regularly use Premier Inn, and no member of reception staff has ever verbally advised me of my room number. Always written on the accompanying card
English
@beckstar2 @premierinn Yep been travelling for 25 years and they always do it. Very annoying.
English
@h2_hannah @beckstar2 @premierinn Use Premier Inn regularly and they always write the number on the card that comes the key comes with. Never been verbally advised of room number
English
@beckstar2 @premierinn I have no idea why they don’t just write it on the card or on a printed slip and hand it over because I CAN READ.
Anyone who needs help can ask for this. This is not unique to PI but why I try to use the self check in for PI as it just prints a slip out.

Robert Helpmann as the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) is easily one of the most unsettling characters ever put in a kids film.

What absolutely-not-scary movie scene absolutely terrified you as a child?

@tig_james @RhonddaBryant @ClarksonsFarm1 It's a fan account, not his. It clearly states FAN ACCOUNT
English
@RhonddaBryant @ClarksonsFarm1 He doesn't care. If he did he wouldn't have done it in the first place. Even if he takes it down now it will only be because of pressure that will affect him no-one else.
It was a disgraceful thing to do.
English
Come on @ClarksonsFarm1 take it down. I’m all for freedom of speech but not inciting or glorifying violence. And two of my colleagues have been murdered in my time as an MP.
English
@CarolEvs28 @RhonddaBryant @t_cdedwards @ClarksonsFarm1 FFS It's a fan account not his. It clearly states FAN ACCOUNT
English
@RhonddaBryant @t_cdedwards @ClarksonsFarm1 Agree strongly Chris & so glad (and no surprise) that you didn’t retweet it, like so many others are doing

@scrumpyh3 @SwailesRuth @TravelodgeUK @premierinn Oh I always travel with one of these. First thing out my suitcase
English
Hotel rooms booked for 6 nights for work, normally I'd use @TravelodgeUK but after reading about them in the news this week, I'm going with @premierinn as I know they have a lone traveller policy. I'm sure I won't be the only one. #SafetyMatters
