Chicago resident: The gentlemen were on the inside of the bakery, just getting a cup of coffee. I saw them being taken by the ICE agents. Mario has been a customer for years. Wonderful people, not criminals at all. And he's ill, he needs his medication.

It’s not too late for the Bluesky admins to say - yeah, ok, a permanent ban was an overreaction. Times are tough. Let’s try again. They could do it right now.

This is just a novelty. While there are insects in some cuisines around the world it has never been a staple and wishing it so isn't going to change eating habits. For many the ick factor is just too much.

So, the plan is to cut English, the arts, and sociology - the degrees that actually study culture - while on another part of your platform claiming to “defend” British culture.

It’s performance nationalism with a reading age of seven.
