Apparently this is Matthew Garrett's blog. It contains one article. Looking at his more common blog, https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/ ... it says he's moved to this one. Any particular reason he's no longer usin

You seem to have chosen one specific viewpoint, and are lauding those that you already agree with. Birmingham's Jewish community is under attack. That's not coming from nowhere, it's coming from people riled up about Gaza, fi

The local community near Aston Villa's grounds, Villa Park, is predominantly Muslim. Take a look at this map of data from the 2011 census. The dark green lumps in the north-west (>70% Muslim) and the green lumps surrounding them (45

As we don't live in the middle ages any more, it would be more than reasonable for the community to demand the riot police step in and arrest the provocators. It would not be OK to plan a "jew hunt" on WhatsApp and perpetua

The Dutch police were a lot more fair-handed in giving intelligence to the WMP than you've been here. They made clear that there were indiscriminate antisemitic attacks, and that WMP had made up claims that were not backed by what the

FYI: there is a growth of sectarian and antisemitic behaviour in the UK. Last year, a man named Jihad Al-Shamie attacked a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur and killed two congregants before he could be stopped. https://www.bbc.

It's nice that Samsung repair phones, I also don't know how long for, but you can't rely that they always will, and not all phone manufacturers are Samsung. You shouldn't have to rely on the whims of the manufacturer.

Employing someone doesn't let you pass off their achievements as your own. If Wales had anyone else, or had gone it alone, it's unlikely Wikipedia would be what it is today.

That is a nice start, a rendering of GIS wikidata. Perhaps ask Wikimedia Foundation for funding :) What I'd like to see is a more intimate marrying of OSM data and Wikipedia data. For example, if I go to zoom level 12 centred on London
