Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

apparently you can't say he flirted with Hitler Youth when he was a schoolboy and reportedly sung Nazi songs, so what about when Nigel Farage was 53 years old and addressed a far-right rally at the invitation of a Nazi minister's granddaughter?
