I try to bring some balance to the site.
I’m continually confounded by the media & people who fall hook, line & sinker for their spin.
Fact:
Changing a person does not change how much money we have, improve markets, reduce interest rates/bills or grow a money tree

Why are we so fixated on the need for incredibly cheap flights, that requires a bizarre tax free treatment - when half of us don’t fly and half of all flights are taken by just 10% of us. It’s a (relatively) rich persons thing, a luxury not a necessity. Tax it. And use the money to reduce poverty.

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.

A 'deport all migrants and UK-born minorities' viewpoint ought to fail the Grainger criteria: it is at odds with the rights of others.
Tommy Robinson's beliefs are rather fuzzier: the core is anti-Muslim advocacy, with latent racialised grievances about fairness between majority/minority groups

A District Judge has cleared Tommy Robinson on a terror charge because he found Robinson had a protected belief. How does that pass the 5th limb of the Grainger test?

![Grainger criteria
To qualify as a 'philosophical belief' under the Equality Act, the belief must satisfy the five criteria set out at para 24 in Grainger plc v Nicholson [2010] and mirrored in the Equality and Human Rights Commission Code of Practice 2011. These are that:
The belief must be genuinely held
The belief must not simply be an opinion or viewpoint based on the present state of information available
The belief must concern a weighty and substantial aspect of human life and behaviour
The belief must attain a certain level of cogency, seriousness, cohesion and importance
The belief must be worthy of respect in a democratic society, not be incompatible with human dignity and not be in conflict with the fundamental rights of others.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:noqaydlcbia5upq6va2p2znw/bafkreidbknxirxpcidqg6kgd7ejugwdwzncsxcm7foh6wxc5rf5qbs6pny@jpeg)

The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?
