A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Call off the King’s visit to the US for the 250th anniversary of America's independence With the current political chaos in the US and Trump’s failure to adhere to international norms, and given his apparent obsession with the Monarchy, calling off this visit would send a powerful messag...

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

You are probably right. But I’m sticking to it being an Mi5 code or similar, triggering all Reform followers to instantly combust on reading it. (Admittedly there may be very few who read it as it was in the Guardian!)

It could do with but the real benefit was that people could chat. Zoom is always more stilted. And having the paper versions made it a lot easier than just looking on screen.

Thank you so much. It was so useful to have it broken down into digestible chunks.

An advertisement in the Guardian newspaper saying:


Public notice to heirs
Reference No. EN250899-L: On 18.06.2025, the following person whose last place of residence was in Zurich passed away:
Gerda Angela Muhrer, born on 23.04.1944, from Germany, daughter of Ernst Muhrer and of Hildegard nΓ©e Kriebel.
The public notice to heirs has been ordered by means of the decision dated from 7 October 2025.
Firstly, any descendants of the testatrix are summoned to report for succession. Secondly, the relatives of the parental kinship, meaning the descendants of the parents, are summoned to report for succession. Thirdly, the relatives of the grandparental kinship, meaning the descendants of the grandparents, are summoned to report for succession.
The summoned persons are herewith requested to notify the Single sitting Judge Court in Inheritance Matters l"Ein-zelgericht Erbschaftssachen"] (see address below) within one year as of the publication. In doing so, they have to submit appropriate documents which confirm their quali-ty as heirs; otherwise, they will be left out of consideration concerning the succession. Submissions to the court have to be made in German, in French, in Italian or in English.

Today in things traincrew shouldn't have to do: Tell passengers not to throw bread rolls at each other across the aisle. One group took up a disproportionate amount of my time this evening. I wonder how they would feel if I turned up at their workplace and made things difficult for them.

Spending my day being paid to think about beer. A great way to spend the day…. But surely I should be drinking the stuff by now (purely in the name of research of course)

New film explores how Caribbean workers helped win second world war Commissioned by the Imperial War Museum, Cornwallis Cloth ends β€˜archival silence’ around invaluable West Indian contribution to war effort

Sweet Patootee are one of my favourite clients (and I’m lucky I have many!) but they have created this wonderful film about a really neglected part of the WWII story and how it impacted the Caribbean and therefore UK.
