Soldier F found not guilty in Bloody Sunday murder trial.
So no convictions for the murder of 13 people during an anti-internment March in Derry in 1972. So much for the rule of law in the UK?

Welfare cuts have fuelled rise of far right and populism, top UN expert says.
Adds that the rise of parties like Nigel Farage’s Reform party is “completely terrifying”.
Yet no end to real wage/benefit cuts; no curbs on profiteering; little redistribution.

The Tavern Keg rooster is one of the lesser figures of UK folklore, a giant incorporeal chicken that routinely terrorised such areas as Leeds and South Devon.
People who sighted it always would first hear its padding claws and eerie, spectral cluck.

ECHR offers protection against unfair dismissal from work, protects pension rights, maternity leave rights and protects women getting divorced. People who think it's a good idea to leave should be ridiculed like flat-earthers. The ignorance is astounding.
