Zia Yusuf says Reform will outbid Trump by proposing largest ever expulsion people with permanent status [over 250k] since 1970s dictator Idi Amin threw 80k Asians out of Uganda + deport over a million other more recent legal migrants too. Despite rhetoric of control, its a recipe for chaos+cruelty

I salute you - it interesting how in some areas (not using supermarkets for 30 years except when away and no alternative helps) BDS has been straightforward but tech has been the area I’ve needed to learn from scratch and catch up

Israeli occupation forces are carrying out home demolitions near the so-called “yellow line” in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, eastern Gaza City. They also appeared to have struck and bombed a home in the southeast of the city.

Thanks everyone

Proton came out best when I looked into what I need
Tuta & GreenNet also looks really promising.

Anyway, thats me migrated from a privacy-washer, BDS-lister to Proton. Easy to switch. Really easy.

Thanks for all advice and links.

Now for storage… but Proton also look good.

Hi Alison, hope you're well. I've used Proton, which is quite good I think. Other options are here: www.ethicalconsumer.org/technology/s...

Tutanota is based in Germany and relatively secure

Protonmail is working good for me so far. It's storage space for emails on the free version is lower than Gmail though so maybe something to consider. Based in Switzerland. If there's any glaring flaws happy for more tech-savvy people to mention them

I use Protonmail and am quite happy with it

Just found this link, offers why for and why not.

Brilliant, thanks Jillian

Brilliant - thanks 🙏🏾

Thanks - really helpful

Thanks - good to hear this

Thanks - yes that’s on my list.

Isn’t it wonderful 🥰

I’m spending a bit of my Lent discipline this year detaching from gmail (I shifted search engines a while back)

Any good suggestions for alternatives with servers outside US; good privacy and not on the BDS tech list?

No, Nigel Farage is certainly not the Messiah but he is a very naughty boy AN oft-asked question in recent months has been: will Reform kill off the Conservatives? It’s a legitimate point of debate.

"Looking at Farage’s line-up, they seemed less like an existential threat than the greasy leftovers on someone else’s dinner plate." My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column on the Toryification of Reform and hopeful signs that its popularity may have peaked.

Bridget Phillipson is asked if the govt will allow the US to use British military bases to attack Iran. She says the govt won't comment.

She's telling us we have no right to know if they're planning to go to war in our name (until it happens).

Dontcha' love democracy.

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.

It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

While on paper a ceasefire has been in place in Gaza since October 10, 2025, the reality on the ground is anything but peace. The killing of Gazans never stopped; the intensity merely reduced, perhaps just temporarily, writes Robert Swift ✍️
