“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.” — @mortenkabell

Once this trial is over, Gisele Pelicot should receive every honour in France and the International Women’s award. What she says about shame shouldn’t need saying but she’s used her darkest hours and a global spotlight to do so. She’s extraordinary. bbc.com/news/articles/…
