Anyone know the timeline of the current BL strikes? I really really need to go (which will involve several hundred quid in expenditure) and I don’t cross picket lines.

Expelling the SWP with extreme prejudice whenever they turn up is "how to run a political party 101" and I'm amazed Zarah Sultana doesn't realise this.

Considering the usual operating fuckery of big tech, if they take her books of audio and e-book marketplaces it will probably wipe them from your library even if you've paid for and downloaded them. You might want to act accordingly.

Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

I think one of the reasons the Tories are doing so badly is that they are led by someone with the intellectual curiosity of a whelk, and everyone knows it.

My thought is that people should stop trying to use made up edge cases to drive public policy. 50p says neither of these people exist, stop telling lies on the internet.
See also, those arguments against safer streets because "what if I need to buy a new fridge? I can't take that on a bike!"

The current US government's ongoing commitment to destroying the US tourism industry is of course not its worst feature morally, but it might be the weirdest.
The Interior Department has announced it will charge $100 per head for non-US residents to visit the most popular 11 national parks.
Stupid and self-defeating. Millions have visited those parks and left with with affection for America. No more, except those who can afford $400 per family per park.
