We’re here because the MSM - that with circulation in the 00,000s - simply reports this. A functioning ecosystem would see it reported and simultaneously derided and condemned for its divisiveness, its racism, its threat to the nation state and offence against decency. But hey, clicks

If we looked at Guardian coverage over the last few years, that paper has also both-sidesed divisive issues, indeed been divisive on some issues and pitch-rolled for “all this”.

Glad it went well :)

It’s weird - you’re posting photos (including that wicked breakfast - looked wonderful) but they simply don’t appear anymore… a BlueSky thing I guess :)

Sad :( I follow you, yet your pictures (which bring a smile each morning) have stopped showing up in my feed… social media is weird :)

Beautiful picture :)

I hope yesterday went well :)

Seems like it’s been ladybird day in the UK, like flying ant day… absolutely loads of yellow ladybirds here this afternoon

Put another way, I’m sorry but some other group (pick one) needs to be subject to the obscene approach to policy making to which we are subjected.

I desperately want to see this framing applied to …. Oooooh, i don’t know, how about Viagra and similar meds? Panel should discount, reported life improvements, focus on downsides only. Should also prefer to hear from women who aren’t in favour of men being treated for ED. Streeting can rush ban.

I really wish even one judge or authority would hear a case by these 'gender critical' scum and respond, "If you don't like the rules at Hampstead Pond, go to a different pond."

In the UK, Glasman is MAGA-aligned.

It means Making Another Gilded Age

Yes. Journalists are like sheep. They have to be together, so wrong together is just fine… much better that than right but alone… all the moral fibre of something lacking any moral fibre

Larry and Paul generally have something appropriate for every failure in our institutions

My question about context could have been clearer :( If he’s putting God next to the EHRC in this context then, given the misuse that religious text is put to in debating our rights to exist, that’s beyond dodgy

Very good :)

Yes. It really is much more loaded with meaning and possibilities :) (IMO)

That is pretty :) Great light :)

Throughout history, each iteration of fascism came with its own particularities. Political theorist R. Griffin posits that the one thing they have in common is palingenetic ultranationalism. (Picture : Mussolini giving a speech) Palingenetic ("born again in ancient greek) ultranationalism is a far right narrative that frames the nation as decadent, as having lost its way, as being betrayed by dark elites. To save it, it needs to be destroyed, then reborn. (Picture: Trump giving a speech in front of a MAGA flag) with that goal in mind, an authoritarian power with divisive rhetoric channelsbthe population's anger towards a scapegoat demonized outgroup: migrants, religion, sexual and gender minorities... (picture : three masked ICE agents are handling someone.) Fascism is like a chameleon : it constantly adapts to eras and cultures. It is vital to learn to identify it and call it out. (Picture: a chameleon)

"What is fascism?"

Do we know in what context this was said? Is he speaking as a commissioner at this point? To what audience?

Religion has no part in health policy

It’s a beautiful day for sure and those are really pretty pictures :)

Not a nationalist. I look at our institutions now and despair. If I were the EU I would not take us back in case our institutions infected those of the EU

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is looking at Green, who is stretched out on the floor in a straight line, sound asleep. Blue, thinking: I need to get to the other side, but my way is blocked. Very cautiously, Blue stretches out towards Green, about to touch him. Blue, still in thought: What if I just very gently... Both foxes jump as Green is startled awake, shooting through the ceiling like a rocket. Recovering from the surprise, Blue looks up to the direction where Green blasted off. Blue: Were you having bad dreams? Green, unseen somewhere above: There were huge bugs touching me.

Title also suggests its sub-text is “Why aren’t you peasants more grateful?”

“Work better for all…. Cis het white able-bodied employed people”

There’s a poster here, flyingrodent, writes eloquently about the entanglement between UK media and politicians… a quick read of their stuff and you’d realise that isn’t going to happen :(

They’re all witless. They will never get to wit.

Grenfell an equally good example :( “Minister, what risks were these regulations put in place to mitigate? Why will these risks not come to pass in future now you are removing the regulations? Can we jail you if you’re wrong?” asked no journalist, ever

In some ways it looks more impactful in silhouette

I’ll trade you Arthur Snell’s
“How Britain broke the world” :)

Read that. Excellent book :)

Our judges are supposed to be apolitical…. Sigh :(

I need a more stable routine to get back into Yoga… by my body has all the mobility of locked down Meccano and all the grace to go with it :)
