time to fix that

Sir Ed Davey – and even Kemi Badenoch – are now calling out post-Brexit challenges. It is time for Keir Starmer to do the same.

If not, Britain’s growth, productivity & living standards will continue to be weighed down by the structural handicap of Brexit

So much for the land of the free
Still a wild thing for a foreign country to say.

Instead of focusing on catching criminals and removing threats what do the metropolitan police do? They spy on fucking children instead. First the DfE kept tabs on the social media profiles of teachers, now the met are spying on children, what's next? We've got to get it's shit together.#UKPolitics

The UK Parliament has passed the Online Safety Bill. This bill undermines the independence of OFCOM significantly and gives the secretary of state the power to to designate and suppress or record a wide range of speech and media deemed "harmful"

This country is fucked.

If I had the One Ring I would simply resist its corrupting temptations and only use it in situations where it was appropriate to do so

Imagine living in a world where the government doesn't trust you enough to allow you to have a free and unmonitored opinion.

Such is life for a teacher in England.

I don't get why the Tories are so obsessed with survailing the population

It is absolutely shocking that the UK Government are going to use the law in order to prevent the workers from striking as opposed to actually listening to their demands, minimum service levels are just a way to force strikebreaking.

Workers on the Millennium Bridge in London have invoked a bylaw that requires a bail of hay to be danged off of the bridge to alert ships that the headroom under the bridge has been lowered (Port of London Authority Bylaws 2012 section 5 subsection 36.2)

A shocking reminder this Government has stripped back our rights to protest. It’s also passed new laws robbing millions of their right to strike & locked millions out of the electoral process https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/oct/17/greta-thunberg-arrested-at-london-oil-summit-protest

The amount of administrative burden in Americans daily lives, as compared to other wealthy countries, is a form of American exceptionalism that we don’t talk about enough.

So weird how as soon as the pandemic started it became very immediately clear that things like socialized medicine and giving people money so children don’t starve actually work really well but now that it’s been a couple years we have to all pretend we didn’t notice that

hot take but the problem with gettier cases is, the initial proposition is based on an unjustified false belief, which if you think about it doesn't really disprove justified true belief as knowledge, since it doesn't deal with the subject having a supposedly justified true belief.
