Brilliant thread on how societies create their own truths without them being true, and an object lesson in not being daft enough to think that them being objective fact or not makes much difference either way. Oh that either extreme could acknowledge what that means…

“the amount and proportion of voters backing the BNP in Barking and Dagenham in 2010 actually rose compared to where it had been in 2006, before McSweeney came to the borough.” So echoing them results in the hard right gaining support. Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it…

An important message of hope through adversity, and a reminder for those who shudder at hearing someone say Allahu Akbar that what pretty much everyone wants is peace and security, and that that shouldn’t really be too much to ask for.
On the streets of Free Damascus, I asked Syrians if they had a message to send to the people of Ukraine.
