“If the Christian world is to honour the meaning of Christmas, it must turn its gaze to Bethlehem — not the imagined one, but the real one, a town whose people today still cry out for justice, dignity and peace.”
A powerful reminder of what is at stake for Palestinians and other oppressed people.

Christmas is not a Western story – it is a Palestinian one
Christmas is a story of empire, injustice and the vulnerability of ordinary people caught in its path.

Good demonstration of why Google AI overview should not be trusted.
According to this, Chris Rea had fairly robust opinions on the "business implications" of Brexit.
But it's confusing singer Chris Rea with a completely different person.

I can’t believe there isn’t a huge volume of votes sitting there, waiting for the first party leader to pledge a second referendum. The Remain vote would obliterate the ridiculous and corrupt Leave position.

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

No Reform representative on the Laura Kuenssberg show for two weeks running - that's a record! It's almost as though we didn't want to talk about the 28 witnesses to my teenage racism and antisemic abuse.

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview.
He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997.
Farage would have been about 33 at time.

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.
