Random pub quiz question, to which I don’t know the answer.

How many transport hubs are named after religious figures?

I only ask because I’m now sitting in the lounge at John Paul II airport in Krakow. Next stop: Frankfurt.

Plenty of railway stations.

St. Paul's, Angel, and Whitechapel.

It’s almost as if Christianity is an important part of our cultural history or something

What excellent work by Hope not Hate.

Do you think Jenrick & Co really don't know the extremist political / violent neo-fascist / organised crime criminal nexus they are playing in the shallows of?

This guy (Matt Twomey) is an associate of Paul Golding, who is attached to Tommy Robinson and came up via the BNP and Britain First, amassing a criminal record along the way. eg Golding and Robinson:

Golding, of Hodder Bank, Stockport, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth, address and nationality.

Test boats are crashing due to software bugs, a key autonomy contract with L3Harris got paused, and the Navy even fired the admiral running the program.

The way war is being fought is changing in front of our eyes and the USA is behind the curve. I have one son in Berlin and one in NY. Both of them say that they and their friends are being targeted with big money to join the defence industry due to their technical skills. The Germans are working very close with Ukraine and their technology is being tested on a daily basis. Being shot by another solider is disappearing instead soldiers face a constant fight with robots. This is robot wars in gruesome reality.
