I hope you'll take a moment for these beautiful parting words from the incomparable Jane Goodall.

Such a cute story! 😍
An unexpected guest – the beautiful peahen who chose us
A huge white bird landed at my feet – too big for a duck, not quite a goose. Then I saw the crest. Could this be... a white peahen?

One of these days a senior politician will actually say something positive about the 10 million people living and working in the UK who happen to have been born abroad, but that day is not today

Immigration, deprivation and time spent online having ‘profound impact on society’, Rayner says – UK politics live
Deputy PM urges government to acknowledge people ‘real concerns’ and flagged deprivation where worst riots erupted last summer
An attempt by three former MPs to force the UK government to hold an inquiry into the impact of Russian disinformation on the Brexit vote and other recent elections has failed at the European court of human rights.
The Strasbourg court ruled on Tuesday that countries had a “wide margin” in determining how to tackle attempts at electoral interference, and ruled against a case brought by Ben Bradshaw, Caroline Lucas and Alyn Smith. Continue reading...

It's maddening to me how much Covid is at the root of so many of today's crises and we just...don't talk about it?
Take the spike in children needing SEND provision. Did anything huge and traumatic happen recently that might have affected thousands of kids? No? Must be parents making it up

Having spent the weekend in Frinton, visiting both Walton and Clacton … “the Mar-a-Lago of Eastern England” … this did make me chuckle this morning. So many good lines, names, and quotes! 😂
Seems that all Farage’s trips to US had an actual purpose.
Clacton to all intents and purposes is - in the words of one local "about to become the 51st state" of America.
Incredible story

![Gill Plimmer's article "How a glass of recycled sewage helps on water shortages" reminded me of the mind-boggling proposal from the American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson (Special Reports, March 21). He declared: "Every cup [of water] that passes through a single person and eventually rejoins the world's water supply holds enough molecules to mix 1,500 of them into every other cup of water in the world. No way around it: some of the water you just drank passed through the kidneys of Socrates, Genghis Khan, and Joan of Arc."

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
