A white poppy is a symbol of peace that, when worn, commemorates all victims of war, including both soldiers and civilians. It is also a call to action, encouraging the pursuit of peaceful resolutions to conflict rather than war. I fail to see the problem either way.

White poppies were first produced in 1933 by the Co-operative Women's Guild, made up largely of women who had lost loved ones in World War One. They were worried by the growing militarisation of Remembrance events and what they saw as a detachment between the red poppy and the need to work for peace

Ireland had the opportunity to be an egalitarian republic where the most vulnerable were always protected, and instead we got a partitioned country built for landlords and the corrupt, veiled behind a thin layer of bowls of shamrock and Aran sweaters so tourists don't notice the rot.

I HAVE BEEN BANGING ON ABOUT THE NEED FOR A METHODOLOGY FOR MOON ARCHAEOLOGY TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN FOR 15 FUCKING YEARS, AND EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS A FUCKING CRACKPOT.
"The moon has been placed on a list of threatened heritage sites, owing to fears of potential looting and destruction caused by planned commercial trips"
Moon added to list of threatened cultural sites for first time
Potential looting and commercial trips pose risk to artefacts left by lunar landings, says World Monuments Fund

Nothing says 'the continued relevance of monarchy' quite like a billionaire, English, unelected king, dressed up as a Scottish laird, turning up at a food bank in a helicopter
The optics of King Charles visiting a foodbank wearing his best Scottish landed gentry outfit are absolutely atrocious.

First step towards National Care Service - but not until 2028
The head of the charity King's Fund says the plan for recommendations by 2028 is "far too long to wait for people who need social care".
