How many FRSs interfere with overseas politics, finance right-wing groups, dismantle US scientific infrastructure, perform Nazi salutes on camera, and use the largest social media platform on earth to promote disinformation on vaccines, COVID, climate change...etc?

Naughty boy? Outright disgrace.

A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences. They’ve hacked phones, listened to ...

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

You are confusing evil and mental illness.
Mental illness may excuse or explain a behaviour that is irrational or appears evil.

Evil just is... And they plainly are...

Now THAT is a public information film I can relate to!

Should combine it with the perils of tying flags to high-voltage lamp posts!

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

Interesting to see that 6 thousand shy of 1 million have signed this.

Dutch TV absolutely skewers MAGA’s attack on free speech & Disneys response.

Trump has made the U.S. a global joke.

This is brilliant comic relief πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

Similar to the rash of flags that have appeared. Makes it very simple to drive round a neighbourhood and cross off the streets you won't be buying a house in!

Labour have had my vote at every election since I turned 18. 40 years a Labour supporter. No longer. When they stop the dog whistle populism, Pandering to the far right wing and punching down on the people they owe their office to I'll reconsider.
So very demoralising after the last 14 years.

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.
