Presumably it’s to prevent residents from removing it and thereby disposing of the evidence of a crime.

turning a big dial taht says "Racism" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

It was on page 12 tbf, still bad whatever page it was obviously!

Telegraph showed 'lack of care' with headline: 'Quarter of UK sex crimes carried out by foreigners' The Telegraph found in breach of Editors’ Code with headline claiming a quarter of sex crimes in UK are carried out by “foreigners”.

Telegraph showed ‘lack of care’ with headline: ‘Quarter of UK sex crimes carried out by foreigners’, IPSO rules pressgazette.co.uk/the-wire/new...

Four months! Unfortunately that seems to be in line with the average length time for rulings to be issued, which is frustrating. It didn’t take me too much time to actually write the complaint itself and correspond with the publication/IPSO though.

Thank you! :) I’ve been pleasantly surprised by my interactions with IPSO so far, they do take straightforward factual inaccuracies/misrepresentations seriously. They’re not perfect of course.

IPSO finds The Telegraph to have breached clause 1 of the Editors’ Code in an article which impressively managed to present data sourced by Rob Bates’ Centre for Migration Control ‘think tank’ more misleadingly than the original CMC report did! @jdportes.bsky.social www.ipso.co.uk/rulings/0091...

Ok eliminated profession #15 representative 😝

The whole internet loves Michele Dougherty, the first female Astronomer Royal! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you the Astronomer Royal is racist

Misleading headline but it does confirm in the article that this is a suggestion by think tanks that is being considered by the government: ‘The future for Tempsford may well depend on the government-commissioned new towns taskforce, which is due to report in September.’

‘hmm, perhaps I am a bot!’

You should make a complaint to Impress, the press regulatory body that Bylines Times is a member of.

“I’m out of touch, but that doesn’t mean I’m out of touch”

Me: ‘No we don’t’

Isn’t this only superficially surprising because of the tendency we all have to neglect the base rate? There are a lot more Reform voters than there are Green voters so it makes sense that even educated voters would be more likely to vote Reform.

In practice a lot of CCTV cameras are unsecured and accessible by hackers, there are big privacy and safety concerns that need to be considered.

Perfectly cool and normal phrase that doesn’t raise any historical red flags /s

I fear you’ve lost this battle!

my friend the only ‘stablecoin’ you wanna get your hands on is this: hay. There is a lot of horses and they all gotta eat

‘skeets about appliances just need to express a popular opinion that goes unheeded by their manufacturers’

I think navigating British roads will be a lot more difficult because of the legacy of austerity. Barely-there road markings and missing road signs make navigation much more difficult for driverless cars.

Well, yes but I don’t think it’s wise to build policy around the idea governments are always sensible and virtuous and will make the right choices, when there are so many examples of tyrannical governments in history.

You can have a centralised database of the relevant information without mandating ID cards.

It is not compulsory to own a phone or carry it around with you, in many countries with ID schemes it is compulsory to carry your ID with you at all times.

French police identity checks on five non-white people ruled illegal Government to pay damages to men in unprecedented ruling. Gratuitous stop and frisk cited as prime cause of friction between police and poor suburbs

Except evidence from some countries with compulsory ID card policies is that it has been used by the police as a means of harassing people from ethnic minorities: www.theguardian.com/world/2015/j...

The after looks worse unfortunately :(
