📚💙 I’ve just finished Cause for Alarm by Eric Ambler. An early example of the spy genre from the 30s, an engineer takes a job running an armaments business in Italy as the shadows of war wrap around the continent. With spies and fascists all around he has little choice but to respond.

Elon Musk, owner of X, tweeted that Home Office Minister Jess Phillips "deserves to be in prison" and labelled her a "rape genocide apologist" This is the type of radicalised content that socialises people towards violence against Ministers and MPs www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/starmer...

Any woman who has ever received online abuse has some understanding of what Jess Philips is now exposed to, but it is on an entirely different level. It is dangerous to her safety. Yes, it is diplomatically “delicate”. But if you do nothing it is an admission of your own impotence. A capitulation.

In tears at this. This poor lady probably chose to go to Switzerland to die earlier than her quality of life demanded to ensure her right to choose. The right to die is also the right to life.
