<link>https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/may/06/absolute-determination-may-vows-to-deliver-brexit-without-customs-union</link>
<description><p>PM promises new relationship with EU outside single market but continues to grapple with pro-leave MPs who oppose hybrid ‘customs partnership’</p><p>Theresa May has insisted she has the “determination to deliver Brexit” as she comes under pressure from both wings of the Tory party to change course. </p><p>Eurosceptics have urged the prime minister to drop the proposal for a hybrid “customs partnership” which they fear would tie the UK too closely to Brussels. But pro-EU Tories are pushing for May to keep the UK in the single market, claiming she would have cross-party support for such a move.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/may/06/absolute-determination-may-vows-to-deliver-brexit-without-customs-union">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>From Qatar’s blockade, a bold, unexpected new vision is emerging</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/06/qatar-blockade-unexpected-new-vision-isolation</link>
<description><p>Enforced isolation has given the emirate confidence to pursue a political and cultural reboot</p><p>For most of the past year the city-state of Qatar, the wealthiest peninsula on the planet, has been exploring the law of unintended consequences. The trigger for that came last June, when Qatar’s closest neighbours, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE, escalated a simmering disquiet about the Gulf state’s role in the region to implement <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/05/saudi-arabia-and-bahrain-break-diplomatic-ties-with-qatar-over-terrorism" title="">a full land and air blockade.</a></p><p>Overnight, planes and cargo ships heading for Qatar were diverted, all diplomatic links were cut and Qatar’s sole land border, with Saudi Arabia, was closed. Even camels were not spared the politics – 12,000 Qatari animals were forcibly repatriated.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/06/qatar-blockade-unexpected-new-vision-isolation">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Chloë Sevigny: ‘I hope my family aren’t going to read this’</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/may/06/chloe-sevigny-tv-roles-metoo-trump-lean-on-pete</link>
<description><p>More than 20 years ago, the actor was anointed ‘the coolest girl in the world’. As her new film opens, she talks about A-list movie stars hogging the best TV roles and why she chose not to add her voice to #MeToo</p><p>Chloë Sevigny walks into the bar of a&nbsp;hotel in downtown New York like a discreet but still conquering hero: leather jacket, red lipstick, round John Lennon-style sunglasses and a laugh that draws the eyes of the room. She recently moved back to Manhattan from a far-flung neighbourhood of Brooklyn, where she had gone in search of a quieter life. For decades, the actor enjoyed the buzz of being a well-known figure, until suddenly, in her early 40s, she didn’t. “But it didn’t work out,” she says, drily. Brooklyn was too quiet, too far; not Sevigny’s style at all and now she is back – greeting people she knows every few paces – a somewhat reluctant queen of the scene.</p><p>It is more than 20 years since Sevigny was anointed <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1994/11/07/chloes-scene" title="">“the coolest girl in the world” by Jay McInerney in his <em>New Yorker</em> profile</a>, a piece that now reads like the slightly doddery engagement of a middle-aged man with youth culture, and for whose purposes any modish 19-year-old woman may have served. Sevigny has never been “cool” in the traditional sense, being neither detached nor aloof.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/may/06/chloe-sevigny-tv-roles-metoo-trump-lean-on-pete">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Lily Allen: ‘If people came together, maybe we could stop our fascist regime’</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/may/06/we-need-to-fight-back-against-forces-lily-allen</link>
<description>The pop provocateur is back with her fourth album. Here she discusses recent bumps in the road and answers questions from our readers, and famous fans including David Lammy and Jeremy Corbyn<p>Though <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/lilyallen">Lily Allen</a> – singer, songwriter, pop star, provocateur – is never far from the headlines (one tweet, one photo, one rumour away), the news that buzzes around her is not always of her own making. The most recent Lily hoo-ha is a yarn about her supposedly having had aeroplane sex with <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/liam-gallagher">Liam Gallagher</a>.</p><p>“I mean, I haven’t said one thing [to suggest that]. I literally have never said anything,” she points out. “Nine years ago, they first tried to print this story, and I didn’t say anything then. And now Nicole Appleton, bless her, she’s reacted to it [<a href="https://twitter.com/Nicole_Appleton/status/985484322164629504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&amp;ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.celebsnow.co.uk%2Fcelebrity-news%2Fnicole-appleton-lily-allen-liam-gallagher-731993&amp;tfw_creator=celebsnow&amp;tfw_site=celebsnow">Appleton tweeted</a>: One day our paths will cross @lilyallen!]. So that’s made it seem real. Now my Twitter feed is: ‘Oh, stupid attention seeker, she just wants another minute in the limelight.’ But I literally haven’t said anything. I haven’t even liked a tweet. Nothing.”</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/may/06/we-need-to-fight-back-against-forces-lily-allen">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>State of play: David Hare and James Graham talk drama and politics</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2018/may/06/david-hare-james-graham-drama-politics-labour-party</link>
<description>The veteran playwright and the prolific young star, both masters of political theatre, reflect on the state of the nation – and contemporary culture – in the internet age<p>David Hare and James Graham are close neighbours in London’s West End. Hare’s <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2018/apr/12/the-moderate-soprano-review-david-hares-glyndebourne-play-hits-the-high-notes"><em>The Moderate Soprano</em></a> is on at the Duke of York’s theatre, St Martin’s Lane, and Graham’s <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2017/nov/19/quiz-minerva-chichester-review-james-graham-who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire"><em>Quiz</em></a> is just a few doors along at the Noël Coward. Graham is, in his mid-30s, a theatrical dynamo, while Hare, at 70, could now qualify as a grand old man of theatre, continuing on his own extraordinary marathon. Each of them has written more about British politics – and in particular the Labour party – than any other playwright alive.</p><p>Hare’s <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2015/feb/12/the-absence-of-war-review-david-hare-labour-political-warning"><em>The Absence of War</em></a> (1993) was about an opposition leader, based on Neil Kinnock. In the ensuing decades, he has been an interpreter of political and private lives, writing contentiously about everything from education (<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2014/jun/22/skylight-bill-nighy-carey-mulligan-wyndhams-review-hare-revival-thatcherite-play-for-today"><em>Skylight</em></a>, 1995) and the railways (<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2003/nov/19/theatre"><em>The Permanent Way</em></a>, 2003) to the West Bank (<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2002/jul/19/theatre.artsfeatures"><em>Via Dolorosa</em></a>, 1998) and the Iraq war (<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2004/sep/11/theatre.politicaltheatre"><em>Stuff Happens</em></a>, 2004). His new play, <em>I’m Not Running</em>, opening at the National Theatre, London, in the autumn, will return to the subject of Labour. James Graham’s <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2012/oct/09/this-house-review-cottesloe"><em>This House</em></a> (2012), set in the whips’ office, was a virtuoso piece about the hung parliament battles of the 70s. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2015/may/10/the-vote-review-james-graham-donmar-warehouse-all-star-general-election"><em>The Vote</em></a><em>,</em> at the Donmar, was broadcast live on television during the 2015 election, and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2017/oct/03/labour-of-love-review-james-graham-comedy-political-party-noel-coward-theatre"><em>Labour of Love</em></a> (2017) at the Noël Coward, a look at the party over 25 years – for which he has just won an Olivier for “best new comedy” – sealed his reputation.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2018/may/06/david-hare-james-graham-drama-politics-labour-party">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Is it weird to say sorry to my ex three years on? | Dear Mariella</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/is-is-weird-to-write-to-say-sorry-to-my-ex-three-years-on</link>
<description><p>Do it! Says Mariella. Keep it simple, keep it brief, write it from the heart</p><p><strong><em>The dilemma </em></strong>Three years ago, I split up with my girlfriend of seven years. I felt very unhappy and put it down to the relationship. She was devastated and wanted to resolve things. But by that stage I’d made my mind up. I’ve lived a quiet, celibate life since, which has given me time to reflect. It struck me that I’d been very selfish – after an initial romantic period where I pulled all manner of stunts to impress her, my effort as a boyfriend tapered down to the bare minimum. Secondly, I realised they had been the best days of my life. We went on amazing adventures which we probably wouldn’t have done otherwise, and had very different skills sets, which complemented each other. After we split up, I made little effort to maintain our friendship, maybe because I felt guilty. Now I’m ashamed of how I treated her and can’t forgive myself. I want to write and apologise, but it sounds weird and inappropriate. It’s hard to write without it sounding like a rapprochement, which it isn’t.

<title>Charlie Hebdo survivor: ‘I was of the dead. But I was not dead’ | Philippe Lançon</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/06/charlie-hebdo-attack-survivor-philippe-lancon</link>
<description><p>On 7 January 2015, terrorists burst into the offices of the satirical magazine, killing 12 people. In an extract from his new book, published to huge acclaim in France, here is one survivor’s astonishing story</p><p>When you’re not expecting it, how long does it take to understand that death is coming? It’s not just imagination that is bypassed by reality, it’s your very senses. I heard dry little noises, nothing like the reverberating detonations in movies, mere firecrackers, echo-less squibs. For a moment, I thought it might have been kids messing about.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/06/charlie-hebdo-attack-survivor-philippe-lancon">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>All by myself: the joys of being single</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/all-by-myself-the-joys-of-being-single-christina-patterson</link>
<description><p>Christina Patterson used to be ashamed about being single, but after hearing others’ stories, that feeling has gone</p><p>For most of my adult life, I have been ashamed of being single. At weddings, I have felt my smile crack. I once walked out of a friend’s book launch when he gave a speech about finding the love of his life. I felt sick with envy, physically sick. But when I got home, what I felt most of all was shame. I didn’t understand why my friends had managed to succeed in an area where I had so spectacularly failed.</p><p>When I was a child, I thought it was easy. You fell in love, you got married in a lovely church, in a lovely dress, and then you had children. Probably three, but possibly just two. I had my parents’ example. They met on a hill in Heidelberg in Germany when my father was 21 and my mother was 18. It was, they always said, love at first sight. My father had just finished reading classics at Cambridge. My mother was just about to go and read languages at Lund University in Sweden. For the rest of their three-week German course, they wandered through the cobbled streets of the old town, quoted Goethe and talked about Kleist.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/all-by-myself-the-joys-of-being-single-christina-patterson">Continue reading...</a></description>

<description><p>The Conservative party mopped up stray voters from the right, not the left</p><p>In an election first, the general secretary of Ukip drew on the bubonic plague to explain the near-total collapse in its vote in last week’s local elections. “Think of the Black Death,” Paul Oakley said. “It causes disruption and then it goes dormant.

<title>Those who deplored the persecution of Roman Polanski enabled the likes of Weinstein | Barbara Ellen</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/06/those-who-deplored-persecution-of-roman-polanski-enabled-weinstein</link>
<description><p>But why has it taken so long for the film director to be expelled from the Academy?</p><p>Is <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/romanpolanski" title="">Roman Polanski</a> finally going to receive the blackballing from the arts community that he has long deserved? The film director has been expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (home of the Oscars), “in accordance with the organisation’s standards of conduct”. Bill Cosby, recently found guilty of aggravated indecent assault, has also been expelled, while <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/lostinshowbiz/2017/oct/19/academy-stand-harvey-weinstein-trust-judgment-hollywood-sexual-harassment" title="">Harvey Weinstein was ejected in 2017</a>.</p><p>Polanski’s expulsion, which he’s appealing against, comes as a welcome surprise. I, for one, have come to think of him as “the A-list Savile who got away”. Since fleeing from the US in 1978, while awaiting sentence for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old actress, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/sep/18/samantha-geimer-roman-polanski-unlawful-sex-email" title="">Samantha Geimer</a>, Polanski has lived and worked freely around Europe. There may have been incidents here and there – a couple of months’ jail time after a failed extradition request from the US; a public protest outside <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/31/roman-polanski-topless-protesters-disrupt-paris-retrospective" title="">his career retrospective in Paris</a> – but Polanski continued to be feted and rewarded, winning a best director Oscar in 2003.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/06/those-who-deplored-persecution-of-roman-polanski-enabled-weinstein">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Will Kim Kardashian West’s power sway Trump for the good?</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/06/kim-kardashian-west-donald-trump-drugs</link>
<description><p>A reality star urging the president to free a grandma from jail? Absurd, yes, but so is 20 years behind bars with no parole</p><p>I have a borderline obsession with the TV drama <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/mar/05/the-good-fight-new-season-war-on-trump" title=""><em>The Good Fight</em></a>, the sequel to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/may/09/the-good-wife-finale-review-brilliant-flawed-complex" title=""><em>The Good Wife</em></a> and perhaps even the better show, which blends politics, law and excellent power suits with audacious plots ripped straight from the headlines – one recent episode involved the existence, or not, of the infamous “<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/16/five-things-james-comey-interview" title="">pee tape</a>”. Its most recent season has grappled with the absurdity of the Trump era and the toll that is taking on its lead character Diane Lockhart’s grasp of reality.</p><p>In a real-world story that seems destined to test Diane even further, Kim Kardashian West has been lobbying President Trump for the release of great-grandmother Alice Marie Johnson, 62, who has been in prison since 1996 for a non-violent drug offence. Kardashian West has teamed up with that custodian of justice, fairness and transparency, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/mar/27/white-house-kushner-family-real-estate-loans" title="">Jared Kushner</a>, to bring the case to the attention of the president, who would need to grant clemency for Johnson to be released. Given that one of Trump’s proposals for tackling the US’s opioid epidemic has been to put forward the idea of the death penalty for drug traffickers, and given that he has congratulated the president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, for his <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/may/24/trump-duterte-us-philippines-drugs-crackdown" title="">“unbelievable job on the drug problem”</a>, or bloody, death-ridden, human-rights-abusing crackdown, it remains to be seen where the chips will fall in this particular domestic drugs case.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/06/kim-kardashian-west-donald-trump-drugs">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Even when the likes of Macron foul up, multilingual politicians get it right | Agnès Poirier</title>

<description>Speaking a foreign language is prone to pitfalls, but it’s a skill we should all have<p>The French president, Emmanuel Macron, never ceases to surprise his audience, especially when he speaks in English. While some of his compatriots were shocked that he should address the US Congress in its native tongue, it pleased a large number of French people who appreciated how he engaged directly in <em>version originale</em>.</p><p>A few days later, however, when President Macron <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/02/lost-in-translation-macron-thanks-australian-pms-delicious-wife" title="">thanked the Australian prime minister’s wife, Lucy Turnbull</a>, for being “delicious” – conjuring up images of cannibalism and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/oct/13/an-old-friend-for-dinner-why-were-not-scared-of-hannibal-lecter-any-more" title="">Hannibal Lecter</a> – some commentators suddenly thought of Macron as creepy. It was hours before somebody thought to tell the Australians that the word <em>“délicieuse”</em> actually means delightful.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/06/even-when-the-likes-of-macron-foul-up-multilingual-politicians-get-it-right">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Sir Alex Ferguson: true to Clydeside and certainly no average pensioner</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/05/sir-alex-ferguson-arsene-wenger-retirement-lecture-circuit</link>
<description>Ferguson ended his era as Manchester United manager in 2013 but frequent trips to the United States and demands of the lecture circuit kept him in high spirits<p>The news about Sir Alex Ferguson will have come as a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/05/sir-alex-ferguson-emergency-surgery-brain-haemorrhage" title="">shock</a> to anyone who saw him on the pitch at Old Trafford last Sunday, presenting Arsène Wenger with an award in recognition of his 22 years as Arsenal manager.</p><p>Though 76, the former Manchester United manager looked in good health and high spirits, as he has done throughout his retirement since standing down five years ago. Ferguson retired from football management in 2013 though in practice he has been far busier than the average pensioner, putting his name to books on leadership, frequently visiting the United States where he has been lucratively in demand as a lecturer and motivational speaker, indulging his love of horse racing and, not least, attending United games.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/05/sir-alex-ferguson-arsene-wenger-retirement-lecture-circuit">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Carlo Ancelotti would be a capital pick by Arsenal to succeed Wenger</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/may/06/carlo-ancelotti-arsenal-manager</link>
<description>The Arsenal job needs someone with the kind of bone-deep composure that is born to only a few men and surely it makes sense to go for the candidate with the superior credentials?<p>Apparently, Arsène Wenger does not want too much fuss. Wenger has not even held a press conference before what Ivan Gazidis, Arsenal’s chief executive, promised a couple of weeks ago would be a “send-off the world will take notice of”. Somehow, I wonder whether Gazidis was getting a little carried away. Arsenal have not even decided yet if they want a statue of Wenger when, frankly, one should have been announced on the day the abdication was announced. They will give away <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/may/04/arsene-wenger-final-curtain-home-arsenal-burnley" title="">60,000 “Merci Arsène” T-shirts</a> but nobody should&nbsp;expect a helicopter to whizz Wenger away, à la Kevin Keegan at Newcastle in 1984, or the crowd to genuflect in his direction. Wenger, sad as it is, just doesn’t inspire that kind of worship. Not any more,&nbsp;anyway.</p><p>If that sounds a little downbeat on the day he says <em>adieu</em> to the Emirates, perhaps it is a legacy of being there <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/apr/22/arsenal-west-ham-united-premier-league-match-report" title="">for the game against West Ham</a>, two days after the news that Wenger was being cut free, and the unshakeable feeling on that occasion that it was not going to be an easy separation. Arsenal’s supporters did not have the energy for a love-in and, overall, it was a rather sad business. It was blandness the crowd feared the most, not saying goodbye. Anyone&nbsp;expecting to see petals thrown at Wenger’s feet was badly&nbsp;mistaken.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/may/06/carlo-ancelotti-arsenal-manager">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>March of Les Herbiers’ petit poucet enters Coupe de France folklore</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/06/les-herbiers-coupe-de-france-final-psg</link>
<description>Vendée minnows to take on mighty Paris Saint-Germain but the French Cup final is rich in fairytales<p>Singularity has always been ingrained in the Coupe de France and this season is no exception. The centenary final, to be held on Tuesday, pits Paris Saint-Germain against Les Herbiers, who hail from a small town in western France of 16,000 people and have an average attendance of 1,400.</p><p>In financial terms, too, there is no contest: PSG’s budget is 275 times that of Les Herbiers (around £1.7m), who turned professional only three years ago and play in the third tier of French football, where they sit just above the relegation zone. Their squad, mostly made up of free transfers and a few loanees (with three players having briefly experienced Ligue 1), has cost nothing to assemble and the average monthly wage is £2,200.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/06/les-herbiers-coupe-de-france-final-psg">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, an Egyptian hero for the 21st century</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/06/liverpools-mohamed-salah-an-egyptian-hero-for-the-21st-century</link>
<description><p>In Nagrig, the footballer’s birthplace, his generosity and rise to fame are inspiring a generation of new sports stars</p><p>The village where <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/03/mo-salah-egypt-pride-arabs-champions-league-final">Mohamed Salah</a> grew up is a cluster of red-brick houses threaded together by dusty unpaved streets and surrounded by a shimmering sea of green fields. In its centre, Ahmed al-Masery sits in an empty coffee shop watching highlights on a tiny, wall-hung TV of his old friend playing for Liverpool against Roma. “I used to play football games on PlayStation with him back in the day,” says the 35-year-old, gesturing at the screen.</p><p>Back then, Salah would pick Liverpool to play video games with his friend. Now the player is the Merseyside club’s favourite adopted son, a striker whose goals have inspired his team into the Champions League final later this month. Fans are devoted to their “Egyptian king” – one song includes the line “if he scores another few, I’ll be Muslim too”.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/06/liverpools-mohamed-salah-an-egyptian-hero-for-the-21st-century">Continue reading...</a></description>

<description>Writer and photographer Thomas Laird’s 10-year project records crumbling Buddhist murals before they are lost<p>They are some of the greatest treasures of Tibetan Buddhist culture: ancient murals showing the life of the Buddha and the secrets of meditation. Many are hidden in remote monasteries or temples whose walls are crumbling, but a remarkable project has recorded the paintings before they disappear for ever.</p><p>The American photographer and writer <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/nov/10/tibet-secret-tantric-murals-lukhang-temple" title="">Thomas Laird</a> spent a decade living among yak herders, farmers and monks while travelling across the Tibetan plateau in search of masterpieces that few have been able to see, let alone photograph.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/06/photographs-ancient-tibetan-murals-revealed">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Kanye West’s infantile views on slavery have worrying echoes of the alt-right | David Olusoga</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/06/kanye-west-infantile-views-on-slavery-unholy-alliance-with-alt-right</link>
<description><p>Claiming that slaves didn’t do enough to escape their condition is asinine babbling</p><p>It has not been a good week for the “Kanye West is a genius” theory. It may well be the case that <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/may/02/kanye-west-slavery-comments-backlash-duvernay-william-spike-lee-choice" title="">the rap artist is being judged more harshly</a> than a similarly ill-informed&nbsp;white musician would be, and there’s no doubting his creative&nbsp;talents, but in a single sentence of breathtaking ignorance he has surely placed himself permanently out the running for the&nbsp;position of genius.</p><p>“When you hear about slavery for 400 years… for 400 years? That sounds like a choice,” he told the entertainment news website TMZ. “You was there for 400 years and it’s&nbsp;all of y’all? It’s like we’re mentally&nbsp;imprisoned.”</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/06/kanye-west-infantile-views-on-slavery-unholy-alliance-with-alt-right">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Good time girl: memories of a super groupie</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/global/2018/may/06/good-time-girl-memories-of-a-super-groupie</link>
<description><p>Pamela Des Barres had the giants of rock’n’roll in the palm of her hand, as her candid memoir reveals</p><p>Barely 30 seconds in and Pamela Des Barres has not so much name-dropped as chucked her diary on the table. I compliment the author of <em>I’m With the Band</em> – one of the all-time classic rock’n’roll memoirs – on her ornate necklace, and she says it used to belong to <em>Psycho</em> actor Janet Leigh. When I ask if she still has the jewellery gifted to her by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, she replies, bereft: “No, it was stolen, by a kleptomaniac married to one of the Beach Boys.”</p><p>Then, as we scan the menu in the rapidly busying Friday night dining room of an in-crowd Hollywood hotel, I idly enquire as to her dietary habits. “I haven’t eaten red meat for 45 years. I went with Don Johnson, one of my dudes,” she says of the then-future star of <em>Miami Vice</em>, “to the first vegetarian restaurant in LA. And I saw on the back of the menu how we get the red meat. And I was so appalled that I stopped that day.”</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/global/2018/may/06/good-time-girl-memories-of-a-super-groupie">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Chance discoveries are music to DJ Julie Adenuga’s ears | Rebecca Nicholson</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/06/chance-discoveries-music-dj-julie-adenuga</link>
<description><p>Playlists generated by algorithms are pervasive. So a personal recommendation is a thrill</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/sep/01/apple-beats-1-dj-julie-adenuga-interview">Julie Adenuga</a> hosts the afternoon show on Beats 1, the Apple radio station that manages to combine excellent broadcasting, star names and exclusive interviews with an almost impenetrable approach to actually making it easy to listen to. Still, Adenuga’s show is one of the best of a good bunch and she recently explained that a new approach to finding music was what kept it fresh. “I made a point of not looking for new music any more,” she told the BBC. “I made a point of allowing it to find me.”</p><p>The problem was that in being sent truckloads of new stuff every day, she lost her “natural connection to the music”. I’m sure that’s partly down to it being work, but she described a feeling that is increasingly familiar to me as a music fan. I have always found nostalgia, particularly when it comes to music, to be wearying, a sort of narcissistic one-upmanship about one’s own past and tastes. But I do miss the necessity of finding new songs and albums to love without algorithmic assistance.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/06/chance-discoveries-music-dj-julie-adenuga">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Benjamin Zephaniah: ‘I don’t want to grow old alone’</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/benjamin-zephaniah-i-dont-want-to-grow-old-alone</link>
<description><p>The author and poet, 60, on why the best kung fu move is to run, how he’s going to try online dating and why it’s best not to touch his chocolate</p><p>There was a time when I&nbsp;thought I wouldn’t live to see 30, but now I’ve doubled that. It feels strange to turn 60. I don’t feel old at all. I play football with 25-year-olds and I can outrun all of them.</p><p>I went down a bad road a&nbsp;couple of times, but when you make mistakes it’s not about regretting them, it’s about saying, ‘How can I&nbsp;learn from that?’ The worst mistakes are the ones you just keep making, it doesn’t matter how big or how small.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/benjamin-zephaniah-i-dont-want-to-grow-old-alone">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>From the archive: ‘Festivals are not comfortable or suitable’</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/from-the-archive-festivals-1973-glastonbury-not-comfortable-or-suitable</link>
<description><p>It’s 1973 and the Observer takes a fairly dim view of the burgeoning festival scene</p><p>Music festivals: an excuse for 30-year-olds to take MDMA in a tent for three days? Or the last bastions of liberty, equality and fraternity in our cynical capitalist world? Perhaps a sprinkling of both with a disproportionate helping of singed topless men wearing flower crowns.</p><p>In July 1973, the pop music festival was a rather different affair. There were only three in the UK, entry was £5 and it was not unheard of for security to be made up of leather-clad Hells Angels.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/from-the-archive-festivals-1973-glastonbury-not-comfortable-or-suitable">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Ditching the satnav: the lost secrets of natural navigation</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/ditching-the-satnav-the-lost-secrets-of-natural-navigation</link>
<description><p>Nature is full of clues to help you find your way – if you know where to look. Stuart Heritage lets go of the GPS to learn the art of natural navigation from pioneer Tristan Gooley</p><p>Tristan Gooley has got me lost in the middle of London – which, I’ll admit, isn’t a terribly huge achievement. I’m routinely lost in the middle of London. My journeys tend to consist of a hard stare at a map app, 50 paces in the wrong direction and then a kind of abject sustained fumble until I arrive at wherever I’m supposed to be 10 minutes after I’m supposed to be there. And that’s me with Google Maps. Without Google Maps, I’m 80% sure I would have given up and moved into a ditch some years ago.</p><p>However, this time is different. Gooley, often known as <a href="https://www.naturalnavigator.com/tristan-gooley">the Natural Navigator</a>, has got me lost on purpose. He’s covered my eyes and led me by the arm through the backstreets of central London, taking time to spin me around every now and again for maximum disorientation. And now, right in the middle of nowhere, he’s asked me to take him to one specific Oxford Street branch of Wasabi.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/ditching-the-satnav-the-lost-secrets-of-natural-navigation">Continue reading...</a></description>

<link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/a-quick-note-to-say-thank-you-to-my-sister-who-gave-me-courage</link>
<description><p>Sharon Griggins, 64, a library foundation fundraiser, is grateful to her elder sister Cynthia for challenging the status quo</p><p>I’m the youngest of four sisters – and Cynthia is one up from me. She is four years older than I am. We grew up in a blue-collar family a few miles into the countryside outside Chicago.</p><p>The thing that really stands out about Cynthia is that she has always dared to be different. She was always questioning the status quo; challenging the way things were around us. And seeing her do that gave me the courage to question things, and also to explore my own world. She’s always had that ability to look at life from a totally different and unexpected perspective, to turn events on their head and reveal a different side to them – and her example encouraged me to do that in my life, too.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/a-quick-note-to-say-thank-you-to-my-sister-who-gave-me-courage">Continue reading...</a></description>

<description><p>Brexit, online delivery services and bans on plastic threaten Britain’s national dish</p><p>Anyone wanting to understand the economic problems facing Britain in the early 21st century need only consider its national dish.</p><p>Chippies are confronting a long list of issues that threaten to send the price of their product rocketing as the holiday season approaches. Brexit, the popularity of online delivery services, freakish weather and concerns about the pollution caused by plastic are all putting pressure on the nation’s 10,500 fish and chip shops.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/fish-and-chip-shops-economy-brexit-digital-disruption-national-dish">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Nigel Slater’s grilled mackerel and soup with fresh crab recipes</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/nigel-slater-grilled-mackerel-and-soup-with-fresh-crab-recipes</link>
<description><p>When the sun suddenly arrives, we want sharp, bright flavours</p><p>Spring is upon us and the garden fizzes with acid greens. The deep bowls of golden soups – pumpkin, mushroom, bean and barley – have given way to clear broths of miso and spring vegetables. Immediately, I want bright, clean tastes that go hand in hand with the season.</p><p>On the table this week: a salad of small, pale-green lettuce leaves that were so tight I could barely part them and white-tipped radishes dressed with a citrus vinaigrette; chalk-white goat’s cheese crumbled into a bowl of vivid green peas; asparagus with a lemon zest and butter sauce. A soup was made with the leaves of young rocket, their peppery bitterness muted slightly with potatoes and the sweetness of white crabmeat. A batch of mackerel fillets sizzled under the grill.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/nigel-slater-grilled-mackerel-and-soup-with-fresh-crab-recipes">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Fatbergs are the true time capsules of all we’d like to forget | Eva Wiseman</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/fatbergs-are-the-true-time-capsules-of-all-wed-like-to-forget</link>
<description><p>They are every sin we’ve ever committed, shoved into a small hole and covered with hot grease. We get the celebrities we deserve and we have truly earned the fatberg</p><p>When we weren’t concentrating, Britain’s <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2018/feb/04/fatberg-museum-london-display-pickling-age-waste">fatbergs</a> became international celebrities. And that’s on us, that’s something we’re going to have to deal with – we created our own Kardashian clan, and a special house for them in the sewer under KFC Aldgate East. We Frankensteined this thing, this beast, out of sanitary towels and chip fat, and then some condoms, and then the guilt that came with the condom night, that oily shame, and then some small plastic pens, of the sort you get in betting shops. Every sin we’ve ever committed, shoved into a small hole and covered with hot grease. The fatberg is the portrait Britain hides in its attic, a true representation of everything we really are, all the things that come out of us. And while we went on working, flirting, dousing ourselves in duty free Chanel and glitter gel to look pretty for the builders, down there, in our private parts beneath the pavement, the bits we wanted to hide were growing.</p><p>I lived in Whitechapel in east London for 10 years, above the notorious <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/sep/12/total-monster-concrete-fatberg-blocks-london-sewage-system">“Whitechapel monster”, a fatberg the weight of 11 double-decker buses</a>. It makes sense that after years of blockages across the world, it was this one, under a site so associated with nightmarish murders and Victorian ruin, that pushed its way into our imaginations and on to the A-list. And while I am certain I never flushed moisturising toilet wipes down the loo, there is surely a part of me and my awfulness compressed in that pumice-like mass, a beast that inspires as many metaphors as it does reflexive gags. I am fatberg.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/fatbergs-are-the-true-time-capsules-of-all-wed-like-to-forget">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>In Belfast fear is growing that the hated barriers will go up again</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/global/2018/may/06/no-one-wants-border-ireland-belfast-barriers-stay-up</link>
<description><p>The row over Brexit and the border threatens to stop the slow removal of the peace walls that divide Protestant and Catholic</p><p>Pointing down the hill at an opening in the metal fence that runs through north Belfast’s Alexandra Park, Ciarán Shannon, 58, recalls venturing to the bottom end of the park when he was about 12. “I was chased out by loyalist kids. From then until 2011, I hadn’t set foot in the other side of the park. There are an awful lot of stories like&nbsp;that.”</p><p>The three-metre fence, one of scores of so-called “peace walls” that still divide loyalist and nationalist communities in Northern Ireland, was erected in 1994. Yet thanks to work by cross-community workers such as Shannon, and after a lengthy consultation exercise, the gate was added in 2011.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/global/2018/may/06/no-one-wants-border-ireland-belfast-barriers-stay-up">Continue reading...</a></description>

<description><p>Trauma system director rejects US president’s suggestion that guns are a solution to stabbings<br></p><p>The suggestion by Donald Trump that guns are part of the solution to knife crime in London is ridiculous, a trauma surgeon in the capital has said. The US president told the National Rifle Association convention in Dallas on Friday that a “once very prestigious hospital” in London was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/may/04/trump-nra-london-hospital-knives">like a “warzone”</a>.<br></p><p>He appeared to be referring to reported comments by Martin Griffiths, a lead trauma surgeon at the Royal London hospital in Whitechapel, who likened the spate of stabbing victims coming through the doors <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5581331/London-surgeon-says-regularly-treating-children-school-uniform-gun-knife-wounds.html">to scenes in a military hospital</a>.<br></p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/may/05/trump-knife-comments-ridiculous-says-london-surgeon">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>English Heritage plans to restore ‘great lost garden’ of Alexander Pope</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/06/english-heritage-dispute-alexander-pope-marble-hill</link>
<description><p>Project to recreate London estate accused of subverting history by opponents, who say elaborate grounds may never have existed</p><p>The restoration, even at huge cost, of what English Heritage calls one of “the great lost gardens of London” sounds a worthwhile, even noble, project. But what if that “lost garden” is a myth, a pipe dream never really built? English Heritage plans to transform the estate of Marble Hill, a grand house by the Thames, by reintroducing elaborate gardens it says were inspired by Alexander Pope, the satirist and poet, and 18th-century royal garden designer Charles Bridgeman.</p><p>The original designs featured a ninepin bowling alley, an ice-house seat and a flower garden, surrounded by twisting paths and groves of trees and English Heritage plans to recreate all this, alongside a “vibrant” cafe and children’s play area.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/06/english-heritage-dispute-alexander-pope-marble-hill">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>No laughing matter: how can The Simpsons solve its problem with Apu?</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/may/06/no-laughing-matter-can-simpsons-solve-apu-problem</link>
<description><p>It is now the longest-running scripted US TV show. But celebrations are tainted by a race row over its Indian storekeeper…</p><p>Twenty-nine seasons in and 636 episodes since it first aired, <em>The Simpsons</em> last week officially became <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/apr/19/the-simpsons-birthday-30-years-fox-history" title="">the longest-running scripted show in American primetime television history</a>. But celebrations have been overshadowed. Once considered to be the high-water mark for biting satire, <em>The Simpsons</em> is the subject of <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/apr/10/simpsons-apu-stereotype-racism-south-asian-fans" title="">a furore over racist stereotyping</a> that is dividing cast and crew. The row can be summed up in one question: is it time to retire Apu Nahasapeemapetilon?</p><p>Born in episode eight of the first series, Apu was written simply as “clerk” on the script, with the single line: “35 cents, please.” In his forthcoming book, <em>Springfield Confidential</em>, <a href="https://twitter.com/mikereisswriter" title="">writer and former leading executive producer Mike Reiss</a> reveals: “Because Hindu convenience store clerks were a movie cliche even back then, I inserted this stage direction under his line: ‘THE CLERK IS NOT INDIAN.’”</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/may/06/no-laughing-matter-can-simpsons-solve-apu-problem">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>No I’m not grateful for colonialism, and here’s why</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/no-im-not-grateful-for-colonialism-and-heres-why</link>
<description><p>To begin with the British Empire is credited for ending the transatlantic slave trade – which it started</p><p>In Bristol, a student throws a party that promises to be a mix of “Indian glamour” and “colonial chic”, to – as the original invite (before it is changed) says – be a “luxurious yet debauch [sic] throwback to the glory days of the early 20th century, where Britain and India lived side by side”. Hey! Let’s party! Colonial style! Except only the chic bits of the colonies? None of that oppressed and occupied peoples bit! The thing that stays with me is how clueless this student is about the British Empire and its relationship with a country it occupied.</p><p>The student is not alone in his ignorance. As a country, we are woefully uneducated about the realities of the British Empire. A survey in 2016 found that 44% of people were proud of Britain’s colonialism. The same survey asked whether the British Empire was a good thing or a bad thing: 43% said it was good. Good for who? The British? Sure. The people it enslaved? Hmmm, suddenly not so sure. I find it troubling that the British Empire is credited with ending the transatlantic slave trade, something it started. In terms of Britain and India, the focus of this party, let’s not forget one was responsible for the partitioning of the other, which resulted in the forced moving of 10 million people and the killing of 1 million people. Famines, caused by the Empire, resulted in up to 29 million deaths in India. So, at what point did Britain and India live side by side?</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/06/no-im-not-grateful-for-colonialism-and-heres-why">Continue reading...</a></description>

<description><p>Screenwriter of Suffragette laments never challenging ‘corrupting and seductive’ world of the former film producer</p><p>Screenwriter Abi Morgan has said that Harvey Weinstein was a deceptive man to work with because he showed great interest in “female feminist work” during a meeting with her.

<title>WhatsApp founder sends Facebook users a coded message by quitting | John Naughton</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/06/whatsapp-founder-sends-facebook-users-coded-message</link>
<description><p>Jan Koum’s exit reportedly followed clashes over Facebook’s attempts to weaken encryption of the messaging service</p><p>Early in 2009, two former Yahoo employees, Brian Acton and Jan Koum, sat down to try and create a smartphone messaging app. They had a few simple design principles. One was that it should be easy to use: no complicated log-in and authentication procedures; instead, each user would be identified by his or her mobile number. And second, the app should have an honest business model – no more pretending it’s free while covertly monetising users’ data: instead, users would pay $1 a year after a certain period. Searching for a name for their service, they came up with WhatsApp, a play on “What’s Up?”</p><p>Koum was born in Ukraine during the Soviet era and emigrated to the US with his mother and grandmother when he was 16. So his childhood had a background of tapped telephones, thought control and state surveillance. In the US, they lived on welfare in Mountain View, a town in Silicon Valley. Acton, in contrast, grew up in Florida and went to Stanford, where he graduated with a degree in computer science. The two men became friends when they worked briefly at the consultancy firm Ernst &amp; Young. They were then recruited by Yahoo, where they spent 10&nbsp;years, after which they departed with substantial personal savings, took a year out and then turned their attention to what became&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/shortcuts/2012/dec/04/whatsapp-new-text-messaging" title="">WhatsApp</a>.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/06/whatsapp-founder-sends-facebook-users-coded-message">Continue reading...</a></description>

<title>Madagascar's vanilla wars: prized spice drives death and deforestation</title>
<link>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/mar/31/madagascars-vanilla-wars-prized-spice-drives-death-and-deforestation</link>
