I'd venture politely to suggest that if the EHRC had done its job and written a code that was about the law rather the pursuit of an anti-trans ideological agenda duty bearers would be better able to do what she urges upon them.

So true. Immigrants are a significant proportion of NHS staff - it would fall apart without them.

The UK needs constitutional and statutory hardening against bad actors.

Poor governance, weak human rights and social policy, unregulated media, dark money, easily exploitable election laws all need review.

I'm glad someone gets this...

quotes by Musk and Hannah Arendt

quotes by Musk and Hannah Arendt

β€œIn my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

- Captain G.M. Gilbert, US Army

STUNNING. And so shameful.

U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz hurls a barrage misinformation about Cuba and gets cut off:

β€œThis is the UN General Assembly, not a Signal chat.”

The cease fire was always set up in Israel’s favour
Some of the dead hostages are East of the yellow line where Hamas can’t easily go even if they had the heavy moving gear to clear the rubble
Netenyahu will use the least excuse to kill a few more Palestinians with Trumps full backing

In January 2025 the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and Exeter University published a report that warned that 4 billion people could be killed at 3Β°C of global heating. It also warned that the strength of the various climate feedbacks means we could reach 3Β°C of global heating by the year 2050.

"The new winners will be those who write in ways that Grok interprets as engaging". Well that won't be me... (not that I am still on X). I want to be challenged on my assumptions, not to have my bias reinforced by sitting there like an open-mouthed baby bird waiting for Grok to drop in a worm.

Beautiful and slightly creepy at the same time... We need to look up more and stop focussing on our own tiny little lives.

The global tax system is rigged – but we can fix it.

While most of us pay our fair share of tax, big corporations and the super-rich use tax havens to hide their money.

It's time to take action: secure.waronwant.org/page/156050/...

A Labour Party FB advert showing, on the left, the words 'Without Digital ID' with a background featuring nine (NINE!!!) household bills, two (TWO!!!) driving licences, and a passport - suggesting this is what we all carry with us on a daily basis just to prove to all the people asking that we are who we claim to be. On the right, behind the slogan 'With Digital ID' is a phone, suggesting we can swap all those other means of identification for this one (expensive, heavier tracking device).

There's an irony here: Sir Keir Starmer claims to be on the side of workers, a left-wing politician looking out for the vulnerable... He's not though, is he... I want to see his ID...

It's also worth considering that there is obvious skin in this game. As I suggest in the post, someone is very, very keen for Digital ID to happen - so much so they ar really blitzing social media to promote it, despite there being no need for this at all, and a ptition of 3 million signatures showing how unpopular it is. Why keep pushing then? Especially considering how unpopular you already are? There has to be a reason... At Starmer's level, it will be about money, but beyond him sit the ideological monsters, such as Thiel, and eugenics is a fairly safe bet there...

"All I wanted was a can of Special Brew..."

Pictured on the left are nine household bills, two driving licences, and a passport; on the right, a mobile phone.

This message is a carefully-composed lie and the third FB ad promoting Digital ID I've seen there today. This really matters to someone...

Labour doesn’t really have a β€˜dilemma’. It has a choice: change direction or die. Keep chasing Reform voters and Labour will be wiped out in the local elections and then wiped out in the general election.

Remember that they’re supposed to be on the left, and they could still win it all again.

ThIs is what will sit behind your Digital ID. If they dont like you, they can just disable your access to different services. Its tech totalitarianism.
