Currently, elections are won on 20% of the electorate. Unless people decide that voting is worth doing we are going to end up with a racist PM voted in by a minority of racists.
I haven't seen the panorama programme so don't understand the big issue round editing (which always takes place because of time constraints) appearing to suggest what we know took place.
Parts of speeches are always cut out. I think it's called edited highlights.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:
1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

I'm old enough to remember David Cameron introducing the two child cap without the current clamour about scrapping it. If the policy is so unpopular now, where was your objection when it was introduced?

*Everyone* needs to stop spinning. Especially the BBC who forged a worldwide reputation for reliability when they took their mission statement (inform, educate and entertain) rather more seriously than they do now. &when western democracies elected serious statesmen rather than reality media stars.

I really don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to the world of finance but feel that Micheal Burry taking a $1T short position on the collapse of AI should be more widely reported.

Went in the town looking for something to eat, had 50cl red wine then found an Irish pub selling Kilkenny and met a couple from Levenshulme and now I'm pissed.

Men from Britain & across the supporting Empire did not die like cattle, in hundreds of thousands - in trenches, on barbed wire, under machine gunning - in order that over a century later, sham patriots could bully & blackmail others into wearing a symbol of that mass slaughter.
