I do find odd that we all apparently enjoy the right to enter a hotel uninvited, go to the guest floors, knock on the doors of complete strangers on the grounds that they are not white - and yet not commit any offence.

The nation has not, in fact, been gripped by "Bayeux fever" and the tapestry has always been available for British people to see in, er, Bayeux, which isn't very far to travel.

Rather odd request, and a very long story, but do I have any followers in Badajoz 🇪🇸 who could lend me a bike Saturday morning to cycle to Elvas 🇵🇹, buy some Interrail reservations, and then return to Badajoz before a 14:00 train? #LongestTrainEU #CrossBorderRail

Yes, of course, polling shows that a majority of UK voters want effective action to stop asylum seekers arriving from France. But the column conflates two very different things. In contrast, views on Gaza and net zero - portrayed in the piece as fringe – *are* quite mainstream.

According to a column in the Times, gangs of masked vigilantes blocking roads have demands which "represent a consensus view across the country". This is very patently utter bollocks. Daniel Thomas, the organiser, is a far-right racist thug. His views are not in any way mainstream.
