Carole Cadwalladr has been trying to reveal Russian interference in British democracy since the Brexit referendum. The BBC has shut Carole Cadwalladr down since 2016. RT if you think the BBC should promptly give Carole Cadwalladr an hour long prime time interview on BBC One.

1. He’s Irish. 2. Even if he was English, not everyone is a royalist. 3. Patriotism is not defined on whether you sing a national anthem. 4. The Daily Mail, supporters of Hitler & Mussolini in the 1930s, really ought to sit this one out. 5. Only results will judge Carlsey

The Rwanda policy was NOT designed to save lives. It was designed to punish. It was designed to dodge our responsibilities. It was a gimmick to appease bigots. It was a moral, legal and practical minefield. It cost £Bns. It was and always would be a profoundly shaming failure.

Twitter now flashing a thing up saying "revisit your bookmarks". Look, I put things in my bookmarks so they can lie dreaming through long ages until the stars come right? I have no intention of disturbing a sleeping evil before it's time.

Italian 'sì', Spanish 'sí' and many more Romance words for "yes" come from Latin 'sīc' (so, thus). French 'oui' doesn't. It comes from Old French 'oïl', from 'o il', literally "yes, it (is/does/has etc.)". 'O' stemmed from Latin 'hoc' (this), which in Occitan became 'òc' (yes):

Can someone remind me which law requires all new models of cars to be ugly, too high, and fitted with cheese graters at the front?
