Tsundoku: the act of acquiring books and letting them pile up without reading them (picture by sketchplanations.com)

Angeln is a peninsula in Germany.

It is thought that a group of Germans called ‘The Angles’ left that area to settle in Great Britain.

People started calling the place they settled ‘Angle-land.’

This morphed into ‘England.’

We now speak ‘English.’

The world has become surprisingly less grumpy But our analysis of polling data shows an uneven recovery in how people feel

Levels of anger, sadness and stress have been creeping up year after year according to polls. That is now changing, but unevenly so. Our charts explain how

Scotland generates huge amounts of cheap, clean electricity from renewables. That isn't reflected in our bills though, because the UK's energy system is rigged in favour of the corporations who control it, not the people who need it.

Hi Chris, thanks for your comment. I don't like the tone of it, suggesting that I have to "wake up and educate myself" when, first of all, I'm a supporter of the Green Party, and secondly this doesn't prevent me to point out something - rarely - positive from the present government. Best

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

In the painting Untitled (2019), we see a group of people lost at sea, wearing red life jackets and waving their arms, swimming to survive. There is no boat, safety net, or someone trying to save them: they are alone, struggling not to drown metaphorically and literally. The movement of their arms and the pools of vivid watercolor give a sense of loss, danger, and anxiety.

A quote by the artist: "I am from many places. I live with that duality and multiplicity in my mind, and in my soul, and in my body."

How does your cultural identity shape your creative expression?

Immigration shift from mostly EU to mostly non EU from 2020 (source: ONS - Sky News)

Small-boat migration is 4.8% of total immigration (source: Home Office - Sky News)

It's pretty baffling to me that some political individuals and parties are blaming the current government for "unleashed" (im)migration when they created the principles and consequences of "the problem" themselves. Extraordinary!

Da sardo di radici ed europeo di spirito che vive in Scozia, assisto giorno dopo giorno all'inesorabile sfacelo di questo governo labourista su cui molti avevano riposto le loro speranze. I Green guidati da Polanski e il nuovo partito di Corbin e Sultana sono aria fresca e speranza per il futuro.

Mattarella: “Il mondo ha bisogno dell’Europa, area di pace ma alcuni la considerano nemico. Perché?”

La disinformazione nell'era dei social media: dal consenso al tribalismo - Valigia Blu La difesa della “verità” appare stantia. Forse stiamo guardando dalla parte sbagliata? Il vero nodo non sono le bugie, ma la performatività con cui social e TV riscrivono la realtà. I media non si lim...
