Remember that the UK has far, far weaker protections against state power than did the US. And the latter folded up like a pack of cards. The US is a warning from the British future.

Francesca Nadin: The Palestine hunger strikers are being singled out for worse treatment
Spot on. The CPS says the max time a prisoner can spend on remand is 6mths, but 2 of the hunger strikers were arrested in Nov 2024 & wont be tried until at least June. Thats 20mths on remand

"The maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months."

The horrific child sex abuse material produced every day by Grok is already banned under Irish law. The real test is if we are ready to enforce that law against large tech companies

Musk Won’t Fix Grok’s Fake AI Nudes. A Ban Would
When Julie Yukari posted a New Year’s Eve photo in a red dress with her cat, she didn’t expect X users to tag Grok asking it to undress her. Within hours, nude AI-generated images of her had spread across the social-media website — without her consent and without consequences.
