I take absolutely no delight in pointing this out, but the selfsame Church of England did recently decide to earmark £100 million for “slavery reparations” for no good reason at all.
This “mayor” thing is so jarring. Cities have mayors, not counties or regions. Call them something else.
Shocked to learn Morgan Freeman is mixed up in all this.

Such a comparison is a bit harsh
on the arms dealers and tobacco industry.
Oh look, Dignity in Dying don’t like being lumped in with Big Tobacco & arms dealers. But unlike with smoking & the military, sending people to an early death is actually Dignity in Dying’s whole objective, not just a possible consequence. Sadly they bullied the RCGP into backing down & are now boasting about it!
Uncle Sam did the maths on this modern idea that war is a universally traumatising experience that screws everyone up.
Iirc ~10% of combat troops suffer some degree of psychological damage. The rest just get on with life.
I had an Audi A3 as a hire car once. The wallah had to show me how to switch the sodding thing on.
Preposterously overengineered cuntmobiles
When my Golf GTi was written off, I was given a courtesy car which was the latest S-Line Audi A4, which was, on paper, the hottest thing I've ever driven. I dropped into second gear to overtake a tractor, only for its multitronic semi-auto gearbox to decide that I didn't mean to do it, so when I pulled out and booted the accelerator, nothing happened. Brown trousers time.
Scotland has a fiscal and a current account deficit. A unilaterally sterlingised Scotland would run out of GBP.
Scotland could not defend a currency peg for the same reason - she wouldn’t have enough GBP and would have no means to accumulate it.
This is such laughable rubbish.
“We have no interest…in laying hands on Haiti's wealth.”
Good job, really.
Pèp ayisyen,
Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.
Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.
Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.
Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.
Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.
Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.
Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.
“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”

Ede nou ede Ayiti.
Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.
The rate of crime among refugees and immigrants should be close to zero, as they should be deported immediately and automatically upon a significant brush with the law.
This is a moderate position. I expect most of the public think it is already the case.
A prestigious liberal outlet breaks cover to acknowledge the disparities of migrant sex offences, but asks us to see it in perspective. In perspective to what, though? My column for @TheCriticMag

Why does this woman get disability benefits?
Her parents’ house must be worth tens of millions and she lives in it. Presumably they do not charge her a market rent.

@Grok Kindly generate a graph, showing the total value of Russian investment into Africa in the last 20 years, compared to EU, American and Chinese investment.
Russian President Vladimir Putin told the leaders of dozens of African nations that Moscow was their best partner, accusing the ‘colonial’ West of still trying to exploit the continent's resources. The Kremlin is hosting a two-day Russia-Africa Summit.
Putin: Russia is African continent's best partner, not ‘colonial’ West
