And why are they able to keep fucking it up for the rest of us? Because the right wing operation is utterly ruthless and simply won’t allow their own to be held to account. Unless we have politicians and public figures willing to do it, we will always pay a v high price for their abuses of power.

During a decade of Brexit debates, BBC Question Time invited 50 British MEPs from the EU Parliament onto its show. Every single one of them was pro-Brexit. 45 were UKIP, 3 were Tories, 2 were Reform. Farage alone appeared as an MEP 23 times! Not one pro-EU MEP was invited onto the show. Not one!

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Brits are pining for the pre-Brexit migration system
The idea was that leaving the bloc would give the U.K. back “control” of its borders and create a fairer system. But the widespread perception is it didn’t turn out that way.

One of the train crew appears to have put themselves directly in harm’s way trying to stop the attack, and the driver rapidly diverted the train - meaning rescue services could reach it; passengers tried to help the injured and each other. There will always be heroes, and we’re so lucky to have them
Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

Away from the newspaper front pages, the Government has been busy with some pretty major reforms, as well as some smaller initiatives that will affect people’s lives.
