Because I once read a thread from a freelancer about the financial reality of their work (specifically in conflict zones) and found it very helpful, I thought I'd share something similar based in the interests of transparency and to help any considering similar work. THREAD

completely agree with this -- i volunteered at a vaccine centre where spares were given to local docs, volunteers, carers, anyone else they could get in touch with quickly. yes finding people to take the surplus is not perfectly democratic, but surely it's better than waste?

The assault happened in 2005. In 2022, with an ongoing FCA probe into whether he was "fit and proper", Odey also attempted to influence the woman to downplay the incident to the regulator. To read more about the questions her story raises for the FCA:

A moment in #Lviv today. At the end of a long train platform, with few others around, two men said goodbye — the man on the right was taking the train to Kyiv, to join the army. The goodbye was fleeting, over almost before I realised what it was, but deeply moving to witness.
