"Racially motivated rioting and murderous threats of arson attacks on asylum seekers this summer must serve as an ominous warning of where the competitive cycle of scapegoating and vilification of migrants can lead."

Fascinating facts here. Why do we believe crime is higher than it is? Because populist politicians want us to be scared so they can be the saviour and fix the imaginary issues for us…
NEW: Why do we always think crime is rising, even when it isn’t?
This week I looked at one of the big data mysteries. Britain is 2/3 less violent than the 1990s; thefts were higher pre-lockdown
Why, then, doesn’t it feel like it?

Interesting item here that @josiah.writes.news is picking up in. Any thoughts?
Interesting bit from the new rail renationalisation act (bringing franchises into public ownership in England)
It is just me or does it strongly give the vibe that the Transport Secretary will end franchises early, using break clauses?...

If this is true then it’s a blatant example of the lack of integrity in leadership that the UK has suffered for the last decade and a half…
Two Conservative figures have admitted that their Government tried to push through multiple pieces of legislation that were in a “crappy” and “ridiculous” state – in the expectation that the unelected House of Lords would fix them through amendments

COP continues to fail us– and our planet . There were 1,700 fossil fuel execs present at #COP29 – larger than any other delegation at the conference . That’s why we’re angry– and it’s why I’m petitioning the Government to ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorships .
