So there you have it. My ex-publishers who last year stopped paying me for the seven books I'd written for them, have today gone back on their promise that some of the money that they owe me and their other authors would come through. I should have guessed.. www.thebookseller.com/news/unbound...

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

FYI. For most medical Doctors the Title Doctor is honorary because almost no medical Doctors have PhDs. They have MBChB - Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Chemistry.

Jill Biden has a PhD in education. Which is what makes her Dr Biden. Doctor of Philosophy not Medicine. It is unlikely that a Doctor of Education with a thesis entitled 'Student Retention at The Community College:Meeting Students Needs' will have any expertise diagnosing Prostate or any other cancer

For the last 2 decades I've worked in care. I've always had people in my teams from outwith the UK. To refer to them as 'strangers' is disgusting. We created community across different religions, languages, cultures. We celebrated all of them & it enriched the lives of the children we cared for.

I agree wholeheartedly with Dr Jonathan Lord. These ‘illegal abortion’ trials are modern day witch hunts, misogynistic and have no place in a civilised society www.linkedin.com/pulse/public...

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Child poverty has fallen in just 12 of the UK’s 650 constituencies in the last decade - all of them in Scotland. Across England, child poverty is rising. Excellent blog from @dannydorling.bsky.social for @lsepoliticsblog.bsky.social on what the govt can learn from Scotland: bit.ly/42IHQIi

In an effort to reach across political divides, a group of veterans has been holding regular gatherings to talk about it all over a beer. They call the events "Pints and Patriotism."

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Fascinating, terrible. Much like here in UK workers are priced out of accommodation for more profitable short term let's. Pretty well paid retail and hospitality workers allowed to live in their cars as long as they have jobs. Nomadland. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/r...

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.
