We need constantly to remind ourselves that there's nothing normal or inevitable about it. It would be a catastrophe from which we would not recover for many years, in which terrible things are done, to minorities, to vulnerable people, to the rest of the living planet. We cannot let it happen.

After nearly 1,500 years, the see of Canterbury has its first female archbishop.

Congratulations to Sarah Mullally! And good luck - she's going to need it!

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Our flag does not belong to one creed or to one race. It belongs to one people, the British people.

We will not let our flag be used to intimidate.

No surprise here. It’s grim but it’s no surprise. The political temperature has been at a dangerous level for a while now.

"Rather than prioritise investment in staff, the beating heart of the university, management has spent an average of over £40m a year on capital expenditure and splashes out £1.5m a year on external consultants." (UCU branch chair Joseph Choonara)

Wishing, threatening, or doing harm to people who are doling no harm to anyone except making them uncomfortable by their mere existence.

Attitudes like this are always with us, unfortunately. The difference today is that those holding them are being encouraged to express, even act on, these views.

Das internationale Handzeichen für häusliche Gewalt ist einfach auszuführen:

Die Handfläche offen mit ausgestreckten Fingern zeigen. Den Daumen in die Mitte der Handfläche legen. Die übrigen Finger über den Daumen schließen und eine Faust bilden. Dies kann auch hinter dem Rücken gezeigt werden.
Bildbeschreibung wie das Handzeichen bei hāuslicher Gewalt gemacht wird: Das Bild ist in zwei Teile aufgeteilt: Auf der linken Seites als erstes: Die Hand wird hoch und senkrecht gehalten, so dass das Gegenüber die Handfläche sehen kann. Der Daumen ist eingeknickt und liegt in der Handinnenfläche. Auf der rechten Seite als zweites: Die restlichen Finger der Hand liegen nun über den Daumen und schliessen diesen ein. Es entsteht eine Faust.
