my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.
This is so disgusting.

[1/8] Pierre Breteau montre pourquoi le train reste structurellement + cher que l’avion. L’article compare coûts, fiscalité et infrastructures. Il explique que l’aérien bénéficie de prix artificiellement bas grâce à des exonérations fiscales qui faussent la concurrence. #geography #transport #train
Pourquoi le train est toujours plus cher que l’avion
Si voyager sur rails se révèle être structurellement plus cher que par les airs, c’est notamment parce que l’aérien bénéficie d’un coût artificiellement bas grâce à des exonérations fiscales.

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights.

The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system.

There are several recent papers which could fall under the heading ‘Economic History of the Scientific Revolution’ but this network analysis tracing how scientific ideas diffused amongst scholars in the period 1084-1793 is a real milestone, an ‘epidemiological’ model of how ideas spread like disease

Pre-modern universities promoted the spread of ideas.

This is why you should oppose post-modernism at universities btw

Hostility toward homosexuality remains common in many of the world’s largest countries—

This chart shows the share of people who say homosexuality cannot be justified across five of the world’s most populous countries.

Together, these countries are home to nearly half of the global population.
