Once again. These people do not want freedom of speech, they want the freedom to monolog without criticism.

They're going to end the freedom of speech of students to protest bigoted speakers they disagree with.

Black children in England and Wales almost eight times more likely to be strip-searched than white peers – report Demographic also overrepresented when police officers use force such as handcuffs, firearms or Tasers, says children’s commissioner

Remarkably, despite how bad this story is, the trend seems to be towards worse not better. And neither of the cited responses to these findings, from Shabana Mahmood's department or the National Police Chiefs’ Council, even pretends to address the issue of racism.

Successive governments have failed to learn lessons of Grenfell Tragedy The conditions that facilitated the tragedy remain unchecked

Political corruption

When UK Supreme Court was considering compensation for car loan scandal Treasury lobbied the Court to help banks, dilute redress.

Chancellor promised legislation to override court judgement.

But nothing equivalent to punish companies/execs for social harms.

Who rules?

In 2014 UK politicians and corporate media told you that Scotland's oil and gas would run out within 5 years. In 2024 the surplus gas trade alone was worth £7Bn. You were lied to. You're still being lied to. Don't get fooled again.

I've seen some *bad* polling in the past, like the 2020 US Presidential poll that suggested Trump was winning among African Americans because they upweighted a sample of like 3.

But I've never seen such half-arsed polling before.

Please do take five minutes to complain about this to the BBC (and it really does only take five minutes). And demand a reply. This is the big advantage of having a broadcaster funded in the way the BBC is funded. They are accountable to us and they have an obligation to explain themselves.

And I mean, this is before we get to the part where the party-within-a-party appears to have illegally stitched up at least one internal election. That’s a new one that I haven’t previously touched on. Do we think this was the only piece of comical criminality involved?

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

Peter Mandelson is a product of a broken, corrupt politics & broken, corrupt media. Too many powerful figures & platforms in the media colluded & feted Mandelson looking to venerate him, gain access to him & validate his corporate class view of the world.

It takes some brass neck for a Labour/supporting journo to shed crocodile tears at Scotland's inequality whilst she's apparently oblivious to Labour's almost 2 year refusal to abolish the 2 child benefit cap and the rising child poverty in Labour-run England & Wales - which is falling in Scotland 😳😳

Big shout out to all those having a good try at:

"Another EU referendum would be fine and this Labour government with fuck all support can have one. But Indyref2 would be like Covid multiplied by the 100 years war and the SNP can never have one because reasons."

Very revealing lads.

Side issue: if Labour wants to know why it is loathed it is because, despite promising change, it has done nothing to change, indeed it has embedded, the cultural conditions that make the above statement true.
