Horrible news from York but glad to see the Universities taking a zero tolerance approach. This, alongside the flag explosion in parts of York is disturbing.

Just watched episode 8, season 2 of Andor and wow. I actually felt ill with anxiety, expecting what was coming. Feels a very apt thing to watch at the minute.

After the high winds this weekend, the awful parade of St George's cross flags on the route into Uni is now 50% missing, 25% scraps of flags, a few St George's crosses. The Yorkshire flags they also put up have weathered the storm in one piece.
