So if it's a trade choice between:
a) chlorinated chicken, plastic cheese, nasty chocolate and
b) European food, beer & wine...
...I confess, I have a strong preference for the latter.

I remember where I was when I watched the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth and how I sat stunned at the end. One of the best pieces of tragicomic writing ever, in any form; worth another look today of all days.

🧵Why in the fog of an unfolding riot media outlets shouldn’t be afraid to pause before publishing :

🧵In the midst or immediate aftermath of what may appear spontaneous riots it’s difficult to conclude who or what is to ‘blame’. It’s rarely one person or single entity. More likely, it’s a combination of events, provocations, motivations, retaliations, misinformation, poor 2/

I've often said that those who have politicised antisemitism in the UK have made me & other Jewish people less safe.
It means genuine cases of Antisemitism get lost amongst the finger pointing.
A similar principle here explained by Aaron from the grim events in Amsterdam:
Aaron Winter@aaronzwinter

If we must play at what the right have taken to calling the 'offence archaeology' game, how about Boris Johnson? But let's not, eh? How can it possibly help our country to forge a necessary relationship with the President-elect (who, in any case, seems to have forgiven Johnson)?

@theAliceRoberts @wmarybeard Both of you are amazing women who definitely do not need to get any work done. I always watch and enjoy your tv programmes, carry on doing what you do!

One misunderstanding westerners have on deportations is:

That’s why we can’t just “send them back” to France, either. #r4today

thinking about the lady I interviewed at a south carolina trump rally who said she was worried about all the “dangerous” people crossing the border. I said “you’re pretty far from the border” and she said “yeah, but I’m going on vacation soon.” I asked where.
she said mexico.
