Or maybe diagnosis is at last catching up with the crises so many have been enduring, which have for so long been minimised, dismissed or ignored.

Last week I checked in on a friend, someone who I thought would be one of the very last immigrants (who have any other options) to leave Germany, only to find that they and their family are already in the process of leaving. Their explicit reason: the rise of fascism. Very, very disturbing times.

In light of the news about boat interceptions in the channel, I reshare my dispatch from Dunkirk for The Lead, where I heard how fraught and dangerous the situation on the beaches in Northern France already is.

I didn't realise it was possible to feel heartbroken over a place, but I genuinely miss Athens like the city is a person. I only have to hear a bit of traditional Greek music at a gyros stall and I'm a broken woman

Today is the 4th anniversary of the worst ever tragedy in the Channel.
At least 27 men, women & children drowned in the freezing water, & 4 more have never been found.
Since then, neither we nor the French have done a thing to offer people in this situation with real solutions.

So many of the refugees that I met Calais and Dunkirk in September were women fleeing the war in Amhara, Ethiopia. It is, in the West, a totally forgotten war, which I regret to say I was totally ignorant of before I met them. bbc.com/news/article...

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

The BBC just caving on this and making no attempt to defend itself feels quite scary. Where do we go from here?
