If you want to create a docile, obedient nation, first attack the arts so you deskill children of critical thinking. Once you’ve done that the people can be moulded as their rulers please. Beware this barbarism. It’s a path to demagoguery and authoritarianism

Conor Gearty · Unwelcome Remnant: Erasing the Human Rights Act The Supreme Court is quietly editing the Human Rights Act out of existence. In cases where human rights cannot be...

It's difficult to read this piece without asking yourself whether you need to be foreign to see England for what it is. It's difficult, too, to read it because doing so is to be reminded, again, how much we will miss Conor Gearty. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

This is how propaganda works. They slapped an image on this from Los Angeles in 1992 during Rodney King riots.

AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

An autoethnographic critique of a past report of inpatient psychiatric treatment for gender diverse children Contrary to ongoing representations of efficacy, “therapy” that aimed to change or suppress a gender diverse child served to delay self-acceptance for two decades and caused long term harm 

An incredible article casting serious doubt on claims made by transphobes, about conversion therapy for trans kids. The 1987 publication upon which their claims are based, is thoroughly discredited, it cannot justify the claims it makes.

Chapeau: @fiercemum.bsky.social

TW: Conversion therapy

The subtext in a racist's mind (the majority of DM readers) is "yes, and you'll be one of them"

⤵️ most of them don’t even know any about the religion they weaponise.

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

ewww, I don't want to know!!!

(I DO want to know, and when I find out I'll mourn my ignorance)

How far and low will Starmer and the Labour Government go.

The Elderly, the young, wheelchair users, blind.

Is there no one they won't arrest in the name of supporting genocide.

Shame on Starmer, the Labour Government and those who support this abomination of a law.

Shame on the police.

I think this says more about William Sitwell's proclivity for uniforms if he's so convinced there's something inherently sexual in them.

They're smart, but a bit drab, but if that's William's thing then we don't judge him for it!

At least 41 dead today! Most in #GazaCity

This is utterly disgusting - just look at the power imbalance here.

"Masculine Christianity"

I think the word he was reaching for was "Thugs". Not that I doubt for one moment his love of Jesus! 🙄

I think he's starting to believe his own profile pic!

And today, right now, those fairy lights are about all it'll be able to power! 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️

FFS utterly abysmal reporting

ex-spammer - spamming fan-wiki sites hawking their 'business development seminars'

GC has always been a grift.

She and her husband ought to be arrested, tried, and likely imprisoned. Her peerage is a very secondary issue in comparison.

The SNP suffered a 4-year investigation and multiple arrests over £666k in party donations. £121m of public money stolen here, and not an arrest or a murder tent in sight.

We need to talk about Nigel Farage.

The rapist President posting on it’s Truth Social thing ‘I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can't believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT’

Remember when the scum was pretending it had nothing to do with the Project 2025 Christian Nationalist plans to turn America into a theocracy?

'The people who make our lives more difficult arrive in private jets, not dinghies.' - spot on.

Michelle Mone 'must lose peerage' in wake of PPE Medpro scandal SNP MP Pete Wishart said the disgraced Tory peer "cannot continue to have access to unfettered expenses at great cost to the public".

Labour must act now to remove Michelle Mone from the House of Lords. 👇

Chief Constable of GMP, a Christian-activist called Stephen Watson, had instructed his officers to not deal with any reports of online crimes motivated by hatred of trans people. No other minority group was singled out.
This, will paint an entirely new complexion on this case and we are confident

When I first read "Riyadh Comedy Festival" I honestly thought it was a joke. I checked and double-checked.

Imagine how loved that teddy was to some other child, it's a kindness to share that, I'd have been overjoyed.

Rachel Reeves addresses the Labour Friends of Israel reception. "I will always be a friend of Israel. I will be here for you this year, the next year and the one after that.

And people wonder why I left Labour after half a century.

How much in contributions do you get either directly or indirectly, Rachel?

and beer batter, which can be nice for fish and chips. Maybe not the chips, though here in Scotland there's probably a chippy somewhere doing them. We can get battered pizza after all, just just have to ask!
