My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

This is simply the EU enforcing its existing border controls by means of a new system, not a "threat to throw out second home owners". Again Brexiters believe that the UK should have border controls as regards the EU, but not the other way around.

Entirely unsurprising that the Holiday Villa 'Ndrangheta have found politcal allies at last in the shape of Reform UK.

Reform really do hypocrisy very well.

Absolutely outrageous that a flagship BBC political programme's presenter won't interview a political leader. A public service disservice.

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · 9h

Laura Kuenssberg has interviewed all the Party Leaders with more than 10% in the polls.

Except Zack Polanski.

She cancelled his interview and now refuses to do it.

They are scared of Zack, they are scared of you.

Just in case you don’t know what Christian Nationalism is and how deeply scary it is.

Jenny @jenjams.bsky.social · Aug 17

Christian Nationalism

Change the Constitution
• Restrict political office to practicing Christians
• Voting by household: head of household (i.e., a man) casts vote for everyone
• Repeal 19th Amendment to again allow states to deny the right to vote on the basis of sex (i.e., women)

Look at these stats for female prisons in the UK (2013). They show it’s not unusual for ~50% of staff to be men..

Given controversy about possibility of trans women in female spaces, why is it never mentioned there are so many men in female prisons?

Political journalists didn’t set out to become clients of power – they just slipped into it. Half-truths, soft questions and silence bought with access. Read this analysis on how deference has turned to complicity ⤵️

How deference becomes client journalism in plain sight

We have come through a period of often shameful journalism, bending the knee to Downing Street. Can our journalism recover?

Christian Nationalism Is The Antithesis Of Jesus’s Teachings.” A Conversation

I sat down with April Ajoy, someone who grew up in the Christian nationalism movement, and is now doing everything she can to help people understand the movement, understand how it goes against everything Jesus taught, and understand the real threat it is to America. Fascinating conversation.

This is their christian nationalism belief. Women belong at home in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant. They will 100% purge women from the military, and FORCE their Christianity version down our throats,ALL IN P2025 , that thing has detailed all kinds of things-especially penalizing single mothers

When it comes to regional development it’s the UK, not Poland, that needs to catch up

Great this is being noticed but the framing in these stories that centre on Farage's own words rather than the issue itself tells you all you need to know about the appalling coverage of the far right and the role the mainstream media play in enabling its rise and mainstreaming
