35 years ago today, 500,000 protesters gathered in East Berlin's Alexanderplatz calling for reforms, democracy & freedom to travel.
By that time, former East Germany had become unable to stem the tide of popular discontent.
Only days later, the Berlin Wall fell.
This is ridiculous, they are already sky high! Compare that to Germany. Let's keep dragging our kids into fucking massive debts, just so that they can study. 🤬

Blur drummer says UK law on assisted dying is ‘psychopathic’ theguardian.com/society/2024…
I hope this bill gets through and I personally think it's a bullshit argument saying people may feel pressured into assisted suicide. It already works well in other countries & if I'd get so poorly with no option of getting better, I hope I'll have this possibility to end my life

Tim Farron, "The unpleasantness about this debate is only matched by the lack of proper information" #BBCQT
"85% of refugees settle in the country next to where they come from"
"The French take 3x more refugees than we do"
"The Germans take 4x more refugees than we do"
"If you put us back in the European Union, we are 19th in the league table when it comes to the number of refugees we take per capita"
"Do we need deterrents? Yes. The best deterrents is competence. If we assess people when they arrive - and they are not illegal immigrants - they are people seeking asylum.. From Sudan.. Afghanistan.. Iran.. Syria.. 90%+ turn out to be genuine refugees"
"If we have a competent government, and we haven't had one, let's see about this one.. And you assess them quickly.. And return the ones that are not refugees"
"That is your deterrent"
"Rwanda was a waste of money.. If they spent that money on case workers we could have processed these people, returned the ones that weren't refugees in a humane way, and let th eones who are genuine refugees, become British, pay their taxes, be part of our country, and we should be proud to admit them"
Very well said @timfarron 👏
