"Over the long term, it is more than plausible that within a few decades at the latest,certain NATO members will become majority non-European." I wonder what exactly they mean by that ..... ? Racist fascists.

@barristersecret.bsky.social sets out clearly what the real reasons are for the backlog and explains why restricting jury trials are not the solution

Super show @mattgreencomedy.com Really enjoyed it - good luck for the rest of the run!

Just bought my tickets for leicester square.
Note that the link you gave for live nation had limited choice of tickets at the theatre, while if you go on the theatre website you can choose your seats properly.
Looking forward to it!

err.. Moor Park?

Thank you! I should have shouted out to you two earlier in the week - it actually opened Tuesday and we've had some great audience reactions!

and while I'm trying to get some of my favourite thinkers and podcasters to come see, it how about @pimlicat.bsky.social and @sturdyalex.bsky.social - might you be interested in this commentary on truth, memory and how to move a country on from difficult times?

and perhaps @dorianlynskey.bsky.social may enjoy it too - probably an interesting addition to the Fascism episode @originstorypodcast.bsky.social

may be interesting for @iandunt.bsky.social , @marcachile.cl , @scribblerrob.bsky.social

Ok last post on here about Villa at South London Theatre. This Chilean play by Guillermo Calderón is about truth, memory and how do we memorialise difficult truths from a country's past.

4. Huge kudos to the Chilean playwright, Guillermo Calderón and to the translator, wjg22.bsky.social for creating such an engaging piece of theatre

3. Also, London is a city of over 150,000 people of Latin American heritage. And there is almost no theatre that speaks to the Latin American experience. @southlondontheatre.bsky.social is proud to be presenting a work that plays a small part in remedying this

2. As such, it has relevance for any country, as we've all experienced periods where morals have gone missing. And keeping the truth alive of those times helps you move forward as a society

Why should you come?

1. It's a really well-written and interesting play which asks questions about how to keep the memory present and truthful of a difficult time in a country's past.

Enroute Theatre presenting some new writing on May 4 at 7pm

I've got a short piece of writing being performed at a new writing night at the Golden Goose Theatre 7pm on Sunday. www.goldengoosetheatre.co.uk/whatson/sett... Come along - this glorious weather will have faded by then www.instagram.com/enroutetheat...

thanks for the heads up! This is what you should be able to do for all books when you buy the hardback - pay an extra quid and get to read it on your kindle as well.

Not in the Marais, but Patricia and I had a superb meal over by Bourse a couple of months back - accents-restaurant.com/menu/
It's about 2km from the Marais, though

what, like how can we help them achieve this goal?

Sounds fantastic - I'll be there!

Also (unrelated), I'm speaking at SaaSiest London on Feb 4. SaaSiest is a great event and community dedicated to C-suite execs building and running SaaS companies throughout Europe. Proud to be speaking on the CFO stage at their inaugural London event.
