I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

This Day in Labor History: December 2, 1984. A gas leak in a Union Carbide chemical plant in Bhopal, India killed somewhere between 3787 and 16,000 people. Let's talk about probably the worst industrial disaster in history and how U.S. companies can murder with impunity, then and now!

This is why I support freedom of expression.

Appropriately, it is the chaos of a system that supports free speech that gives rise to the grand process of democratic self-governance and the ideally upward arc of human progress and flourishing.

There's been a lot of talk about this on facebook...

The original bridge was built quite quickly, but they discovered cracking of the abutments before it opened.

This inevitably delayed opening, and when it did there was a 5mph speed restriction on it!

People seem to think it's just the deck...

Until now I thought this so-called “peace proposal” was just another Russian info-op. Turns out it’s real and it’s pure capitulation. 🚫 Written by non-diplomats, it hands Putin a veto over #NATO and demands Ukraine give up territory he couldn’t conquer in four years of war. Why reward aggression?
