Regretfully (for the sake of the authors and journal staff), I have this morning declined an invitation to review for a @royalsociety.org journal because of the Society’s continued refusal to stand up for its values in dealing with Elon Musk FRS.

"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"

How can this be remotely acceptable in a democracy.
Who needs to turn up in body armour & tac gear, plain clothes & MASKED, to arrest a mother on the school run?
Answer: the secret police.

To consider half the USA population as the enemy as POTUS does is deeply worrying. His comment to lay off Democrat federal workers is appalling. What ever happened to the principle of once democratically elected your duty is to looking after everyone’s interest.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey: “I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
“As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.”
