‘But I need to take something back for family,’ he says, ‘souvenir, something they like. You can give me some money?’ I tell him I really have to go, and I only have a little cash. I reach for my wallet and give him 60. Not enough. He sees I have more. I end up giving him £100. 8— David Aaronovitch (@DAaronovitch) February 7, 2020

As an editor who has worked on several British newspapers, I have been caught in an elaborate street scam causing me to publish articles by a man calling himself 'David Aaronovitch' for the past 30 years— Rosewood Shoehorn (@apiarism) February 7, 2020

good to see that aaronovitch has learned his lesson from his support of the iraq war and is now much more careful about not being easily hoodwinked by the thinnest veneer of obvious bullshit

i think one of her recent pieces was along the lines of: phew, thank god Corbyn isn't PM during this time of national crisis and .. blah blah.. I don't think it is controversial to say Corbyn has a good record of putting people before GDP.

Hello @SKinnock we know celebrating your Dad’s birthday is a lovely thing to do, however this is not essential travel. We all have our part to play in this, we urge you to comply with @GOVUK restrictions, they are in place to keep us all safe.

Can’t find the daily mail thread but St BoJo was infected but the perfidious EU
The Mail on Sunday has *2 double page splashes* deflecting blame for the coronavirus onto foreigners and stirring up xenophobia.Target 1: the EU.Target 2: China.The reality is, Boris Johnson bungled this crisis very, very badly.
