Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Those accusing the ICC of being “political” do not fully understand the law.
Post WWII, we in “the West” stipulated a set of shared rules that we believed applied to everyone - enemies, allies and ourselves.
If an ally breaches those rules, the rules have not suddenly become “political” overnight.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
But he still needed a 45% pay rise.
Like if he needs a pay cut.
RP if you want the Monarchy gone.

memo to farmers protesting today, if you’re desperate to hand your farm to your offspring then give it to them while you’re still alive, panic over, so long as you live another 7 years there’s no inheritance tax

The protestors want to call it "the tractor tax" because calling it "the inheritance tax protest" would turn off public opinion.
The tractors coming into London today, in fact, pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ.
Exempt from all.

Yes major media has let us down. We are the UK's leading citizen journalism publication with 10 Bylines all across the UK, now there might not be room for all of them, but please consider Bylines Network, we really are trying to do something different.
I'm going to start working on this, and will add to it as more major media outlets join Bluesky.
I expect the pace to pick up very soon and very significantly.
Major media has let us down significantly over the last ten years, but it's still vital to know what's being reported. go.bsky.app/2JyEju6
