In reality, the Suffragettes set fire to postboxes, bombed various buildings and vandalised golf courses.
""Palestine Action overly promotes unlawful violence that amounts to terrorism… It is not like the Suffragettes," [Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr] said. "
Demonstrating that the Chief Justice doesn't know the history of the Suffragettes. This is of course precisely why these histories get sanitised.

I was reminded of this superb piece by @pluralistic when i was doing the groceries this morning and a flustered shop attendant had to deal with three malfunctioning self-checkout machines, while three weary customers were exchanging glances. Including the mum with small child whose machine glitched after every item, and who clearly did not need that level of friction in her life right now.
Ignorance is bliss sometimes. We did the monthly bird count at the park yesterday. I expect most people would think "ooh, lots of green". But looking in actuality the Himalayan Balsam and Giant Hogweed (both invasive flora) were rampant.
They're so difficult to remove that I wonder if the British biosphere will ever recover from their introduction. But once you see #nature this way, you can't unsee it.
At least we had good 🦆 numbers though.

Resistance is not futile.
You can rebrand a phone.
You can paint it gold.
You can rewrite the marketing.
But when you put it next to an HTC U24 Pro in a CT scanner, the disguise falls apart pretty fast.
