Similarly, re the Linehan tweet that got him arrested but then the charge dropped, imagine instead of trans people he'd invited folk to punch Jewish people or black people in the genitals.
Let’s be absolutely fucking clear about what is going on here.
If a newspaper headline said “this must be the year Britain finally kills off Jewish ideology”, the police would not be sitting around splitting hairs about wording.

If immigration is high, the government has lost control of our borders. If it's low, it's because the country is in such a mess that nobody wants to be here. Labour is never going to win these people over, and it should stop trying.
An astonishing article in the Daily Mail.
Not only does it admit that some Romanians have left Britain because of growing discrimination after Brexit, but it also talks about the EU grants they've been able to access to start or boost their businesses back home.

On 5th July this year, Palestine Action was proscribed after a vote in Parliament invoking the Terrorism Act 2000.
Since then, police have made over 2,700 arrests for peacefully protesting. These arrests are unlawful.

It’s quite alarming how many members of the British right are siding with the chaos: MAGA Christian nationalism & Putin. There’s no real conservatives left. The effects of Brexit, the anti-woke reactionary backlash, the pandemic, & X mean they detest modern Britain within a secular liberal Europe.

Honestly, if you support Reform you are either a) a racist scumbag; b) too stupid to realise you're the above; or c) not paying attention.
YouGov have Reform on 25% in both their first poll of 2025 and their final poll before Christmas. The only significan sustained gain across 2025 was Green Party +7, at expense of Labour
Reform 25% tp 25% (-)
Labour 26% to 20% (-6)
Cons 22% to 19% (-3)
LibDems 14% to 15% (+1)
Greens 8% to 15% (+7)

This from scholars who are supposed to be critically alert to the use of AI in education submitting to an editor of a journal who is a leading critical voice on AI in education. If we can get such total epistemic collapse here, what must it be like in other fields?
