  1. I couldn’t find a single article about this on the BBC instead they had a “Easy On Me: Is Adele’s comeback single a hit or a miss?”.

  2. It has already been a year time goes fast, let’s hope his death will lead to a change for the better.

    Rest in peace Samuel Paty

  3. A man who was betrayed by his school and his students, killed by a radical for a media campaign started by the father of a lying schoolgirl. What an injust nightmare.

    Even a year later the memory of his murder remains in the collective memory.

  4. Samuel Paty’s death was a disgrace to the free, Western, Democratic world (NOT to France specifically).

    But honestly, the bigger crime is that even after it happened, the European governments have basically taken 0 precautions against repeats and have (essentially) allowed for a permanent fear of “insulting” Islam to fester.

    Never forget that in the UK just this year a teacher was fired for showing Muhammad cartoons in class as part of a discussion on free speech and religious freedom. Then he was unfired after a massive public backlash only to turn down the job because he had credible and immediate threats to his life.
