Chances are that it will unfortunately go to waste. Distributed to grocery stores and put on sale but still not entirely sold and end up in dumpsters with chemicals poured all over them because “we can’t have homeless people in our trash digging out (perfectly good) food”

Social media curfews & as the necessity of major military coooperation across Europe becomes ever more obvious, why on earth were Brexiters so spooked by the prospect of a European army?

It's amazing how few people in the UK realise that the last time the world went in to a massive financial tailspin, albeit one not directly caused by the President of the USA, it was Gordon Brown & the late Alistair Darling who provided the sort of international leadership desperately needed now.

It is obvious but worth repeating that regimes built on lies survive only as long as they can suppress truth. The promotion of complicit media (alternative facts) & denigration of objective media (facts) is not just desirable but essential. This process is being turbo-charged in the USA right now.

This podcast is incredible. I’ve binged it in a day. It’s an astonishingly personal & brave story, but with wide-ranging, far-reaching implications; the digital era has given stalkers more weapons, misogyny is rampant, and online abuse causes real-life harm. A hard but important listen.
And then there's this, out today: ep 4 of Stalked. The top series in the UK. This week we name who we think is Hannah's stalker. The BBC has been pretty incredible. I'm not sure any other UK news org would do this in the face of the pushback we've had
