"Why police released details about Liverpool crash suspect so quickly"

The answer, as it often is in this country, is "because of racists".

Every time there is a high profile crime in this country, those on the right will get all foamy at the mouth about brown people. By doing this the Feds got ahead of the issue and squashed any potential false narratives. 🤷

IDGAF about football but he is infinitely better than all the goons who criticised him for talking about politics, as his politics clearly came from a compassionate and empathetic pov.

BBC News - How Lucy Connolly's racist tweet sparked a free speech row - BBC News

"Connolly's husband, Conservative town councillor Raymond Connolly, said she was "a good person and not a racist" and had "paid a very high price for making a mistake".

She is absolutely a racist, and doubled down on her racism in the immediate aftermath of the first post. Why is the BBC both sides-ing this 🤷

Addendum: this was so stressful. I had to run up and down several flights of Syria with a heavy bag, and as we pulled into Köln Hbf I could see my Brussels-bound strain pulling into a platform at the far end of the station.

I made it, but Christ it was knackering and stressful.

If I missed it it would mean a 2 hour wait for the next service.

Brussels is excellent, with many quality veggie/vegan options. Will definitely visit again when it isn't constantly raining.

Edit: Also, everyone I have spoken with seems to speak every language going and is very friendly.

"Bonjour, Hi!" Is the standard greeting.

"Reform UK said they would pay for their new policies by cutting net zero projects and scrapping hotels for asylum seekers."

So burn the world, increasing climate-driven migration, whilst simultaneously abandoning migrants. Pricks.

Farage commits to reinstating winter fuel payment

As was widely predicted, the UK Nazi party are trying to outflank labour on the left.

He's a fucking liar, so won't actually do any of this if/when he comes to power, but the red wall will vote for it.

Today I am travelling from Hamburg to Köln to Brussels.

My Köln transfer was 1 hour.
First the train departed 30 minutes late.
Now we have been rerouted to a different station in Köln, meaning that I need to transfer to get my transfer.

My 1 hour transfer window in Köln is once again getting severely curtailed. Clearly fate does not want me to explore Köln.

US supercarrier launches largest carrier strike in history

“The USS Harry S. Truman launched the largest carrier airstrike in the history of the world — 125,000 pounds — from a single aircraft carrier into Somalia.”

The air operation reportedly involved 16 F/A-18 Super Hornets targeting Islamic State leadership in a series of cave complexes, resulting in the deaths of more than a dozen militants"

Is 1 militant per ~10,000lb of explosive really an achievement?
