Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

On my way to beautiful York for a talk with York Humanists this evening. Assisted dying, the religious right in the US, and politics in the UK: just some of the areas I expect to cover. I know many members have already submitted questions online which I look forward to answering!

Great work here from @carbonbrief.org , debunking common myths about solar power.
The reason that solar power makes so much sense is fundamental physics - it takes energy in its most useful form, as soon as it arrives on Earth, before it's "taxed" in entropy. Making use of it is a slam-dunk win.

We don’t believe in gods or in any supernatural force having any influence over the world or our lives. That means it’s up to human beings – here and now – to take responsibility for their own actions, to look after one another, and to look after the natural world, too. #Thatshumanism

BBC complaint
Complaint made to the BBC about the disproportionate amount of coverage given to a party with only 4 MPs.
The BBC seems to have forgotten that the Lib Dems have 72 MPs, and what about the Greens and other smaller parties?
