Perhaps, but are the authors always so solicitous? Even his job was obscured. As a former Train conductor myself - I admire his courage and devotion and think it should be recognized.

Why has LNER been so tardy in releasing his name and job?

It was. Spanberger who volunteered the distinction. Journalists just reported her words.

Zohran has more courage...

Earlier this year, I met a Croatian journalist who was in the US doing a piece on America’s politics and I asked her what surprised her. And she said, β€œWhat you all call the far left is just being normal.”

Its a neologism to describe a flight of Dodos!

So support for Zohran by Corbyn, who's hounded by spurious A-S slurs, is now being marshaled to redouble the witch-hunt against Zohran. And timely as the Forward often is, the current issue has a primer on how to say "witchcraft" in Yiddish. We await follow -up with "ducking stool," or "the stake."

The Forward headline "Why Jeremy Corbyn’s support for Zohran Mamdani is fueling antisemitism fears."
Because the "fears" are free floating, like witchcraft allegations, untethered, as they say, from reality. But there a many people, from Cuomo to Trump to Netanyahu, who will stoke those fires.

Times journalists urged to make 'basic' checks after two 'humiliating' hoaxes A newsroom boss at The Times has described two fake interviews it ran as "humiliating" and said "basic" questions were not asked.

Murdoch's UK "newspaper of record" blown up, again!

But you'd think they could afford a more convincing robot. Dead eyes, dead tone.. he should at least try to sound like he believes his own crap!

If the Democratic Party had any sense - he'd be fired. Or switched off as malfunctioning robot!

"The future of the party is going to fall relative to the members of the house". Dead right. When did they implant the DLC chip?

It was a half-armed apology, and he should not have done it. But you can see why!

To make it less personal, why not abolish ALL peerages and the House of Lords?

No bidet in the White House... smelly unhygenic buggers. Just as well the President would think it's a footbath.

Certainly more convincing evidence than that condemned Caribbean sailors to summary execution.

Shock horror! He called the server "Brother" even though he was clearly not related. Why is the New York Post, aka the Cuomo Chronicle, missing the scoop!

As I remember it also offers lessons on how the FBI will relentlessly persecute innocents rather than catch the guilty!
