This is so crap. I took the Vienna to Paris sleeper on my way back from Prague and it was absolutely wonderful. Boooo to the French govt and SNCF.
It's now official: Due to the French government withdrawing support & SNCF unsupportive, the Paris-Vienna & Paris-Berlin Nightjet sleeper trains will be discontinued from mid-December. presse-oebb.at/news-oebb-be...
The Brussels-Vienna Nightjet will continue, 3 times per week.

Well yes. England in particular remains in thrall to the wholly artificial "class system" and its an absolute menace.
I do think that a lot, particularly as I relisten to my two audiobooks on Anglo Saxon history... So many of the people who lord it over of us are basically in place because their distant ancestors were better bullies than those around them. It doesn't seem much of a qualification.

Every time I come across this photo it completely stops me in my tracks. Crude oil supertanker Esso Hibernia under construction at Swan Hunter shipyard, Wallsend, during 1970. The scale and spectacle of this thing is incomprehensible. (📸 Harriet Berney)
Love the choice of headline photo here @theguardian.com

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

Migrants can't answer back.

They have no voice.

So they make the perfect scapegoat for the pent-up rage of the angry, self-loathing far right who can unite around this issue.

In addition it gives the media something to write about in the long summer recess.

That is what is really going on here.
