In Belgium, future victims of rape are more likely to receive justice. A draft bill to reform the sexual crimes law places consent right and centre. Silence is not the same as consent and consent can be withdrawn at any time. The maximum sentence for rape will also be doubled.

In a fair society, a wealth tax on those with the broadest financial shoulders should not be controversial, it should be a given. In an unfair society, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The choice of which society we want to live in is ours. theguardian.com/commentisfree…

A grand statue of Belgium's genocidal king Leopold II stands behind the royal palace in Brussels, a stone's throw away from Matongé, with its large Congolese and African communities. At the very least, there should be a plaque detailing... instagram.com/p/CUGBLelraR3/…

@DiabolicalIdea I've seen this tried time and again. I think I can go back at least 20, if not 30 yrs. Perhaps it will catch on now that in dramatic fashion attention has been drawn to plastic pollution and its harms.

The man who thwarted the Egyptian revolution, Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, is mourned by the man who killed the revolution, President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi. Sisi eulogises Tantawi now but he happily trampled all over his supposed mentor when Mohamed Morsi sacked Tantawi. twitter.com/AlsisiOfficial…

There are far too many supremely motivated people with boundless ambition. I see a niche in the market. I am now available as a demotivational speaker. If you feel your aspirations are too high, I can bring you down to earth with a crash.

Haters accuse me of being woke. This is untrue because I get my best insights into the human condition when I'm asleep. When this happens I sometimes wake up, but battle to go back to sleep again. If I fail, I'm awake but not exactly woke - more like drowsy and bleary-eyed.

The end of the road for cars? Car-free Sundays are hint of what's possible when cars are banished from cities and people can reclaim the roads. The flyover we walked across is slated to be decommissioned as a road and transformed into a community space. instagram.com/p/CUA1IDysmrH/…
