unfolded. Started with the othering and the dehumanising
Emma Dabiri, "Suella Braverman's use of the word hurricane is intentional.. It presents people as a threat, making it easy to commit acts of barbarism against those people.. It's sinister, it's shocking, that that language is used by our Home Secretary"

Very good thread by Charlotte. To be frank, the LTNs haven’t bothered me that much. Nor has the 20mph speed limits. In fact I’d love to be able to actually do 20! And the punters accept these issues and understand. So what’s the problem?
LTNs, cabbies and more - a thread 🧵 I took a black cab today (no tube unfortunately) and got chatting to the driver. He’s a man in his 20s from South London, and eventually the convo turns to LTNs and cycling…

The Hunting Trophies Bill, if passed will prevent British hunters bringing home game souvenirs.
Critics say the Bill could cut funding used for conservation efforts but campaigners for the ban say the money from hunters rarely reaches local communities anyway

According to Russian military doctrine, warfare should be split into phases. These are:
Ph 1: Declare huge goals and under resource them
Ph 2: Offer up your logistic tail to the enemy for destruction
Ph 3: Ensure your own morale is rock bottom by not picking up your dead
