The Iranian regime so fears women that it murdered Mahsa Amini for wearing her hijab in a way they did not approve of. May she rest in peace. Since then, the regime has killed 35 protesters. #IranProtests2022 rfi.fr/en/internation…

Ghost town At work, we took an alternative tour of Charleroi to explore the city's industrial decline and urban decay. We visited an abandoned steelworks, community centre and unused tramline and underground system. instagram.com/p/Ci4kYYyLi-l/…

Trickle down economics only works if the rich are altruistic. There is a reason why most of them are rich - and it isn’t their altruism that springs to mind twitter.com/diabolicalidea…

Today is World Alzheimer's Day. It got me thinking about how it would feel to become a professional writer who can no longer write, a book lover who can no longer read, or to have your awareness of the past that shaped you gradually wiped away. Unthinkable.

The one-sided, uncritically pro-royalist narrative and endless royal coverage that has dominated Britain's mainstream media since Queen Elizabeth's death has been more akin to propaganda than independent journalism. Let's hope the media rediscovers its role as the fourth estate.

Personally, I don't think any human is worthy enough to queue 24 hours to see. This mass hysteria is not very healthy. That being said, the queue is a sight to behold and the fact that A-list celebrities also have to line up like everyone else is admirable. #QueenElizabeth
