Over 500,000 people marched in France last weekend. The vast majority were unmasked and white. They were protesting against the cost of living and poor public services. Don't fall for the rightwing spin.

El historial de versiones del documento. 214 revisiones. Cuatro horas y media de escritura repartidas en tres días, con sus borrados, sus frases a medias y sus pausas.
El profesor lo miró y me dijo que el sistema de detección es muy fiable.
Le pregunté qué margen de error tiene. No lo sabía.
Le pregunté quién había validado ese 97 %. Tampoco.
No denuncié a nadie. Presenté la revisión de la calificación por escrito y adjunté el historial.
Se la corrigieron a la semana siguiente.

I’m still shocked by the Arday frenzy this summer. Right across the spectrum — from the Times, Unherd, Telegraph, Mail to the Guardian, Novara, Private Eye… based on tenuous assumptions. Left right politics does not explain it. Something deeper, more atavistic and barbaric

He said in the long run.
I asked him what fucking year.
