Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

I don't think Harry Cole or someone in his position would have done this 10 years ago. Tomlinson is an internet bigot, he should in no sense be even in the conversation as a plausible guest on such a program.

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.
He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

But the truth is simple, only in the USA can any crazy, angry person buy an automatic weapon.

I find it fascinating how the Telegraph can spend half its time berating migrants coming to the UK for a better life, while spending the other half treating British people leaving for cheaper housing and lower costs as a national heartbreak rather than, apparently, migration.
