Even the footballers of the English national team were heard singing "God Save the King". I'd anyway prefer Jerusalem if Israel give us permission...

Discussion program: 1 man from the immigrant critical PS party. 3 women, 1 of which from the "the more immigrants the better" Left Alliance and a female discussion leader. The single man was on a hiding to nothing with all the rest ganging up on him. Brave of him to take part or foolish?

A Porto politician said that there were 14,000 daily tourists in the city. When a rival politician said that the figure was too low - one reason was that the tourist tax represented more than 14,000 people - the first said that only 14,000 stay in Porto during the day, the rest only sleep there!

The company have announced that they propose to split the company in two, hiving off the car industry part (ca 29%) of the whole company. But the key question is *when?*. For that I had to go to the FT. They will propose it to the General Meeting in 2026 (!). It seems a long way off.

I once worked for SKF (the Swedish ball-bearing maker) so I was curious when their share price shot up by 10% yesterday (afternoon?). So I went to the business pages of today's Svenska Dagbladet and found nothing. It's a Gothenburg company so next I looked at Göteborgs Posten which had something.

A positive (?) headline in HBL (Swedish language located in Finland) "Half of Swedish-speaking Finns who move abroad return". The alternative of "Half of Swedish-speaking Finns who move abroad never return." isn't at all positive.

JM, the Madeiran newspaper, had a photo of the first three competitors of a 7,5km race at sea with the usual 1,2,3 steps. Slightly odd was that there was a man and a woman on each step, so perhaps a mixed double-kayak race? In fact a man's swimming race and a female race. 1 photo to save space?

Om det här är en avgift (samt arbete) man ska betala varje gång man besöker Storbritannien som EU medborgare, varför behöver Britter som besöker EU betala en avgift bara en gång i två (?) år oavsett hur många gånger de reser in under tiden?

Stänga alla HUS sjukhus utom ett men behålla alla högre chefer! Bonusbetalningar minst en million för varje chef.

Politico newsletter: '3E told Sam “all affected individuals were promptly notified to prevent the further spread of the phishing campaign” … and helpfully included the dodgy link in the email.' I wonder how many non-native English speakers spotted the sarcasm ("helpfully included")!
