The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

Godwin's law is utterly broken now given that we are literally seeing a rerun of 1920s/30s Germany.
This crap is the same model as the Nazi Brown Shirts (Sturmabteilung), all the reprobates and hooligans coming out to support the party that gives them free reign.

Are Private Eye jokes now... criminal?
PALESTINE Solidarity campaigner Jon Farley was arrested during a silent march in Leeds last weekend. What egregious act had prompted the police to act? He was, er, carrying a Private Eye joke piece as a placard!

You will be shocked to learn that universities that disproportionately recruit from independent schools and higher socio-economic groups are less likely than universities that recruit from less favoured pupil populations to have high student drop-out rates in year 1. Shocked.
