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.

The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs.

The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.
Very good, Oscar!

So to be clear we have actually reached the point where NATO states are deploying tripwire forces to deter *another NATO state* from invading *another NATO state.*
I struggle to communicate the strategic and just regular insanity of this moment.
There will be Arthur, Gildas, and all the other characters before long. I was on a villa excavation where Beckingham Palace was used as the comparison- there's a head in hands moment! I really like Alex Langlads - I'm sure it will be what ever it needs to be for the press and an expert excavation!
