Banning Working From Home: Bad Policy Comes Round Again - Industrial Estate of Mind Nigel Farage’s pledge to ban working from home revives an old Conservative talking point — but exposes a deeper trend: politics as performance, where headlines matter more than workable policy.

The Myth of the Free Speech Crackdown - Industrial Estate of Mind FOI data shows prosecutions for online speech are falling, not rising. The myth of a free-speech crackdown says more about status anxiety than censorship.

Everyone says online speech is being “criminalised”. FOI data shows the opposite — prosecutions are falling, not rising. The free-speech panic isn’t about censorship. It’s about privilege.

Your Party’s Civil War - Industrial Estate of Mind Your Party’s first year has ended in chaos — legal threats, missing money, and factional warfare. A left-wing vanity project built on data, cash, and déjà vu.

How the American Right Turned Autism Into a Culture War - Industrial Estate of Mind The American right’s obsession with “curing” autism reveals how crank medicine, conspiracy theories, and authoritarian ideology overlap. Autism challenges their worldview — and they can’t handle it.

The American right can’t cope with autism — because neurodiversity breaks their worldview. When your politics depend on hierarchy and blame, every difference looks like a defect. #Autism #Neurodiversity #Politics #RFKJr #CrankMedicine #IndustrialEstateOfMind
