This is so wrong. You can mask it as thought provoking warning about the rise of fake news but it shamefully contributes to it. And we cannot keep parodying and making light of our core institutions, and then wonder why they fall apart in our hands. bbc.co.uk/news/technolog…

Eisenhower was commanding a battalion of tanks; Agatha Christie had just had The Mysterious Affair at Styles publiahed; Colonel Sanders had set up a ferry company on the Ohio river. Fun game!

This 2017 Foreign Policy piece on what a new US civil war might look like is a timely read. It might be more likely than you'd think... foreignpolicy.com/2017/10/10/wha…

"I seek a kind person who will educate my intelligent boy, aged 11." This was the personal ad my Viennese grandparents put in the Manchester Guardian in August 1938, looking for someone to take in my father. It saved his life. He was fostered by a wonderful Welsh couple.

The world we have lost. The C17th “Dutch House” stood on the corner of Bristol’s High Street & Broad St. Saved by the Lord Mayor from traffic engineers in 1900, it was badly damaged but not destroyed by bombs on 24 Nov 1940. It was needlessly demolished 3 days later.

#LionsRugby not at the races in the 2nd half but honestly, this has been the most disgraceful game of international rugby I can think of. Referee team totally compromised. World Rugby robust stance on dangerous tackles was all but suspended for 80 mins.

Have to admit I'm more shocked and disturbed by what happened in Israel than probably anything in my life. Far crueler and bestial than 9/11 or even Paris. A little window into genocide - and anyone who still thinks Hamas wouldn't kill every Jew in Israel is deluding themselves

All of us in the UK who are not Jewish - an immense, an overwhelming majority - have a responsibility in these troubled times to make our Jewish fellow-citizens feel valued & safe. A responsibility that clearly right now we are failing to meet. It shames the country.

Let us learn from the words of Robert Kennedy who calmed a nation: "Let us replace the violence and the stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love."
