Have I told you about the first time I let my daughter walk alone to piano practice? She had to cross a (big-ish) street, so I told her I would walk behind her and observe. At the zebra walk my daughter, like a boss, puts out her palm to signal the oncoming driver to stop. And BjΓΆrk stops her car.

Every freaking day something disgusting comes out. Every day. All we do is point it out, complain about it in podcasts and social media posts and then wait until tomorrow. Rinse and repeat until weβre in full on fascism. We need to build a massive movement against cosplaying journalism. Now.

Off to Mancland today for a visa biometrics appointment for wife and daughter. For those of you wondering why migrants don't use 'safe and legal routes", it is costing Β£7,777 (plus language test costs) just to keep them in the country for another two and a half years.
