The BBC on the policing reform has asked if this can stop the 'everyday crime epidemic'. However as @timnewburn.bsky.social notes in Criminology: A Very Short Introduction crime rates across the western world and the Anglo-western world in particular have been falling.

Will Reform supporters care that Jenrick, now sure to defect, was the minister responsible for the asylum-seekers-in-hotels policy they were getting hot and bothered about?

I still can't get my head around the US staging a military coup, but then I am also a person who takes trays out of the oven, forgets they are hot and then instantly burns my fingers, so I guess I'm easily surprised

Quarter of police forces missing basic policies on sexual offences, says Sarah Everard report Official report says forces in England and Wales yet to implement policies for investigation A quarter of police forces in England and Wales are yet to implement “basic policies for investigating sexual offences”, an official report says, with women still being failed despite promises of change after the murder of Sarah Everard four years ago. The report by Dame Elish Angiolini follows an inquiry set up after Everard was murdered by a serving police officer, Wayne Couzens, in March 2021. She was abducted off a London street while walking home. Continue reading...

Response to the government's asylum policy 'overhaul' The government's latest asylum plans mark another alarming escalation of the hostile environment. Policies that seek to criminalise, dehumanise and malign people seeking asylum will not fix the real issues facing this country.

So let me get this straight, Gary Neville is allowed to be hounded for his opinion and taken off air, but when the people actually preaching hate are taken off air it's left who are snowflakes?

Make it make sense

Expert rejects Met police claim that study backs bias-free live facial recognition use Academic says sample size was too small to claim new sensitivity guidelines have removed racial, gender or age bias

The Metropolitan Police’s claims that their use of live facial recognition is bias-free are not substantiated by the report they cite to support its use www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Racism doesn't happen in a vacuum, it is legitimised by those from the top down not the bottom up. Trying to understand the structural basis of racism is far more effective in trying to combat it.

🧵Racism at Anfield today is linked directly to the the rise of the racist right in the UK, the mainstreaming of their politics and recent anti-migrant protests. 3/3

#LIVBOU

🧵This again is a result of dogwhistle racism going unchallenged from the very top. Not just from the harden political right but also from those in government who claim to be "liberal". 2/3

#LIVBOU

🧵First game of the new season and we have already seen racist comments from the stands.

Firstly, solidarity with Antoine Semenyo. 1/3

The Premier League has banned rainbow laces and armbands for the upcoming season. This has nothing to do with unwelcome attention and everything to do with caving to pressure from homophobes, transphobes and the political right. I'm proud to wear rainbow laces on boots.

We have to oppose this!

*Stop far-right in Newcastle*

🗓️ Saturday 9th August
🕚11am
📍Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle, NE1 8AG

Join the protest with @northumbriaiww.bsky.social , @neanarchogroup.bsky.social, Newcastle PSC, NCL Student-Staff Solidarity Network and Red Storm Collective.

Why wear a mask? Harder for the cops to gather information + work out connections, prevents indentifiable photos circulating amongst far-rights communities online. Makes facial recognition technology less effective. Helps keep everyone safe. Even if you don't think being identifiable puts you at risk, creating a culture of protest anonymity minimises the isolation of individuals more likely to be targeted.

What is grey bloc? Grey bloc is a softer version of black bloc. Instead of wearing all black, protesters in grey bloc wear anonymous looking clothing such as rainwear, sportswear and a mask. It's a good idea to bring a change of hat and a jacket just in case you need to disappear.

Join the counter demonstration this Saturday 9th August from 11am.
Thank you to @CornwallResists whose graphic on grey bloc we have borrowed 🫶
