At what point do you say "enough is enough?" When do you stand up to a brutal regime with a history of silencing dissent with imprisonment, torture and death?
An extraordinary film by a very brave man.

In case anyone was wondering what the Trump administration is up to. It's almost a daily catalogue of new lows. I wonder if there was a point in pre war Germany where people thought, maybe the Nazi party aren't all they're cracked up to be.

Brian Kilmeadeβs βjust kill themβ comment about homeless people is vile, but the fact that his co-hosts didnβt even blink is equally chilling. Itβs a reminder of Karl Popperβs Paradox of Tolerance: if we tolerate the intolerant, we risk letting their toxic views erode the very foundation of society

I just want to take a moment to put @kneppwilding.bsky.social on everyone's radar, in case it isn't already. A genuinely ground breaking rewilding project taking place in West Sussex. Isabella Tree's book about how Knepp came to fruition is an astonishing read.

These 2 stories currently sitting side by side on the BBC website. Am I the only one who can see a dissonance here?

It feels like increasingly dangerous precedents are being set in the world, as US joins the war in Iran.
What happened to the rule of international law? Opposition voices? Talk of moderation and diplomacy?
This is a new low amongst a plethora of new lows.

As a longstanding Liverpool fan I'm embarrassed to be honest. I actually feel quite sad about it. The man is a club legend. He should be shown some respect. π

The sentient caring amongst us are missing a trick with regards to positive change - ethical banking. Most banks don't care about investing your money in weapons, fracking or other questionable practices. Some, however, do. Change to a bank that does care.
