Once again for those at the back ...
Refugees are not illegal immigrants. Fleeing war, oppression, starvation or the impact of climate change is not illegal. It is a universal human right. It's only AFTER a case has been officially investigated that a judgement can be made on its merits. Not before.

On R4 Today a former head of Counter Terrorism Policing repeated the Govt’s recent suggestions that proscribing Palestine Action was probably based in part on intelligence that couldn’t be made public. Also that in future such info could be shared eg with the Intelligence & Security Committee.

"The fossil fuel industry continues to pocket massive profits and subsidies.

Meanwhile, everyday people bear the costs of climate catastrophe – from rising insurance premiums to lost livelihoods.

Those who shoulder the blame must foot the bill." @antonioguterres

Health Experts Speak Out After RFK Jr. Eliminates $500 Million In mRNA Vaccine Contracts He is a danger to us all.

This man is a danger to us all.

Reeves ‘vastly underestimated’ scale of private school parents’ VAT rebellion Treasury was not expecting so many to pay fees in advance to avoid levy, documents show

Treasury underestimated how many wealthy people would spend £££ hundreds of thousands to save a few bob in tax bit.ly/4ljeCr2 they paid £515m in advance - some could afford to pay five years in advance. Don’t try to tax us we’re too rich and too clever!

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem

t took six months for a Trump official to be politely forced by a journalist to admit live on air what everyone - including every economist - knows to be true (but which Trump keeps lying about): tariffs are paid in the US by US importers.

What an indictment of our media.

Presumably it’s a revision but currently this is a paragragh not a headline and the very next one is - ‘Prof Adam Finn……. University of Bristol, says "it's a bit of both" but ditching mRNA technology is "stupid" and potentially a "catastrophic error".’

'For fact sake: Why is Trump so bad with numbers?' – by Emily Maitlis | The News Agents Emily Maitlis explores the sacking of Erika McEntarfer, the former head of the US Bureau of Labour Statistics, and what this tells us about Donald Trump, his hate of unflattering statistics and where ...

"A sacking of this kind is unprecedented, and screams deep personal insecurity," writes Emily Maitlis.

Donald Trump sacked the US Bureau of Labour Statistics because he didn't like the numbers. Can any data his administration shares ever be trusted?

But ‘the score’ and ‘status’ seem to be inseparably connected to money. One way or another.
🤷‍♂️

Musk supporters will advise the world that Musk is not motivated by pecuniary matters.
There seems to be some sort of disconnect here.

It seems to me that many of those who still have some faith in the ‘Main Stream Media’ believe they are failing in their task to properly educate ‘the masses’ whilst those who proclaim no faith in MSM, don’t trust it at all, do ‘their own research’ and still get it all totally upside down.

Nail. Head. Hit.

Expecting him to know anything about Clacton is a leap beyond faith though, isn’t it?

Donald Trump displaying the sort of mathrobatics that will forever cement his legacy in history as a man who was thicker than his own border wall

And, whisper it: Hamas is not the Palestinian people.

I doubt they believe it. They just seek to gain popularity and power by pandering to popular beliefs and stoking fear of ‘others’.
It’s the 1930s all over again.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Who indeed would have even imagined this!

Ok. Thank you. But you must appreciate that claims such as these really need some degree of verification? And that other analyses offer different data!

Ah. So it’s your own data? Culled mainly from Social Media reports?

Do you have a link to your stats please?

Ah but is she dripping in jewelry? With a sign saying “I’m wearing really expensive stuff so well worth being mugged’.

They don’t know anyone who’s been involved in an ICE vehicle fire so they can safely ignore those facts.
They won’t know anyone involved in an EV fire either but they are truly EV sceptics and therefore desperate to find problems.
At which point *relative* risk is totally unimportant.

What type of car is most likely to catch fire?

The number of cars likely to catch fire per 100,000 sales by type (Statistics for 2021):

BEV ICE Hybrid
25 1529 3474

This rather supports my final point, doesn’t it?
