So this is where the New Labour experiment ends - arresting hundreds of silent protesters - many of them elderly and disabled - as terrorists.

The great myth of empire collapse | Aeon Essays Societal downfalls loom large in history and popular culture but, for the 99 per cent, collapse often had its upsides

take heart in this fab essay and forthcoming book: archaeologists find that when empires fall, the powerful fare badly but the commoners fare better!

people want to cooperate and thrive. what happens next is still up to us.

Ex-police officers jailed over 'gratuitous cruelty' to mentally ill woman The actions of Timothy John Trautsch and Nathan Black were recorded on body-worn camera after they were called to Emu Plains following reports of a welfare check.

May I present to you New South Wales Police.

This story explains why so often the people who most need the police donโ€™t call them, because the police make things worse.

Bastards.

This occupation, like the rest of Israel's occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, will be illegal. It's not a matter of argument, international law is crystal clear on this point.
