Got my first immigration law accreditation 15 years ago, at the same time as doing a Master's in Migration Studies.

And, well, what's happening now feels much worse than then.

Even worse than what Hoare or Morrison did to prevent us Jews getting safety here in the 1930s + 40s?

Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Today I have accidentally introduced my 4-year-old to Crazy Frog.

I am the worst enemy of my own sanity.

Lunch out today with this guy. A bit oily and with a strange/ disturbing aftertaste. But beggars can't be choosers

"experts say don't panic yet" is definitely reassuring 😳
A recent study found that people with chronic insomnia who took prescribed melatonin for more than a year had a higher chance of heart failure.

But the study has drawn mixed reactions from sleep medicine experts and cardiologists.
New study links melatonin and heart failure, but experts say don’t panic yet
Experts say new research findings suggesting that long-term use of melatonin could be associated with increased risk of heart failure need further investigation.

It's really important to note that not only was Watson a racist and misogynist but his contribution to the double helix was listening to a Rosalind Franklin lecture and getting mad because Francis Crick wouldn't invite him to his sex parties.
Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

Mind-blowing British #housing stats:
- There are c2.5m landlords
- with average age 58
- with average non-rental income of £24k
- 85% of buy to let mortgages are interest only

Follows @davidjmadden.bsky.social's US analysis about home owning/ prices underwriting rentiers for pension/ care
Reading v slowly + trying to get my head around this today, especially relevant to commentary on the Renters' Rights Act
