Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence. It took time. #GenocidePreventionDay

Salma al-Shehab was sentenced to 34 years in prison in Saudi Arabia because of tweets and retweets on human rights issues - including women's right to drive cars. This was the weekend of the Saudi Cup in racing, Newcastle United at Wembley and boxing in Riyadh. Saudiwashing.

I don’t know if this is the greatest horse race of all time, but it strikes me as the most memorable & heartbreaking. The Grand National. Colour TV was new. A great chaser in Crisp jumping the Liverpool fences brilliantly; the arrival of a champion in Red Rum. 50 years ago today!

Ben and I recorded the new album last summer in a little studio on the banks of the river Avon. Here we are on a break on a sunny June day. Not long now, album out next week! 💥

Being a patriot isn’t fawning over a man who inherits a throne Nor celebrating a sovereignty of which you can’t articulate the benefits It’s wanting a properly funded NHS that will care for you & your fellow Brits numerous times throughout your lives But maybe that’s just me…

It's the completely unconscious nature of this cliched bigotry that is so fascinating. The idiot has no idea what he's doing either in general (the sheer laziness of the stereotypes) or in particular (Biden is teetotal).

The theatre ghost at London's Lyceum theatre has been granted a knighthood. The spectre, whose clothes and attitudes have never changed, said he was "delighted" to be recognised even though he has no idea what year it is. He has been given a K in recognition of doing fuck all.

This is a hard watch but an amazing portrayal by Steve Coogan. Savile was a relentless abuser and we havent even got to the Jim'll Fix it days. Still beggars belief that he escaped justice #TheReckoning

Israel only shoots at military targets, but they KNOW they keep those targets in populated areas - so the question is: Why are military targets more important than human life?? Why retaliate like this? Just more murder more bodies more hate. My heart bleeds for all the innocent

Great piece by Ciarán Murphy in today's The Irish Times Discussed the Casement Park redevelopment and the use of public money. Can it be used by the wider public and not just the GAA?
