On Porous Borders

[BBC] Twitter ‘misplaces’ Taliban official in Pakistan

[WTF] Well you shouldn’t have kidnapped him and taken him there using private jets with no flight plan, then, should you? Honestly, if you’re not going to take care of them… Have you checked down the back of the sofa? How about in Cuba, I hear a lot of them show up in Guantanamo?

On Unions

[BBC] New Driverless Tube Trains Unveiled

“Finn Brennan from Aslef, the train drivers’ union, said they would always oppose automated trains because the single-track, Victorian infrastructure was designed to be negotiated by drivers.”

[Doctor] Try a warm malt drink before you go to bed to help you sleep.
