Sharrrron Davies being made a peer for her campaigning on women’s rights is like giving Harold Shipman an award for services to the elderly.

As you leave the interview room you see the other candidates are black women. Now imagine that most employers look something like the one you’ve applied to. Would you see the point of EDI in those circumstances or are you happy to trust that you’ll be considered on your merits alone?

White men, imagine you go for a job. The interview panel is three black women. The board of directors is all black women and has been, without exception, forever. You notice that all supervisors are black women and the only white man you see is cleaning. The company insists they appoint on merit /1

One more thing about Hitler (no, I'm not secretly Ken Livingstone), as someone of Farage's age, is that *yes* we talked about him a lot, but always as an evil villain. There wasn't any doubt about that. Always evil. The quintessence of evil for the 20th century.

This is the sign on the COSHH Store at my office.

Is it just coincidence that the COSHH classifications perfectly match my own classifications of People Harmful to my Health?

As someone just months younger than Nigel Farage, I can say that not only is it untrue that ‘all’ schoolboys were obsessed with Hitler, but *none* of my cohort were. None. Nada. Zilch.
So we've gone from "he never said anything Nazi" to "well he might have said something Nazi but not in a hurtful way" to "well okay he probably did say something Nazi in a hurtful way, but didn't we all?"

I visited Bergen-Belsen as a 10 year old child, an experience that still stays with me five decades later.

I can say with 110% certainty that I was never obsessed with Hitler.

The Blue Lamp is closing on 30th December after 75 years. Rising costs have made it impossible to keep going.

Aberdeen doesn't have an abundance of live music venues, and losing this one hurts. Once these places are gone, they're gone.

The Blue Lamp to Close After 75 Years
A huge blow to Aberdeen's music scene, that will see the city worse off.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements
