You may have heard about UK ministers' plan to double to 10 years the time needed to reached settled status in the UK. But did you realise that it threatened access to pensions for the 180,000 people who came from Hong Kong on the UK government's visa scheme? My dispatch: www.ft.com/content/8b91...

“Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's plan for running the Gaza Strip after the war proposes a multilayered, hierarchical structure in which senior international diplomats and businesspeople are on top and the Palestinians running things on the ground are at the bottom.”
A century removed from Western colonial powers casually drawing Middle Eastern borders with a ruler while disregarding the will of local populations, the region gets Tony Blair to dream up schemes of governing Gaza with little say by its people.

"[T]he exoneration registry found 129 cases in which people were falsely convicted ... because of flawed hair analysis and testimony. Fifteen of the defendants were sentenced to die. Exonerees lost almost 2,000 years of their lives in prison and cost taxpayers hundreds of millions."
Many people remain incarcerated despite questions about the forensic analysis of evidence used against them. Cases are not automatically reopened when a field of forensics is questioned or even discredited.
That’s true of hair analysis.

I love sharing old commissions that people may have never seen. This was SUCH a fun prompt (do them in the style of 70’s Blaxploitation icons) and I had so much fun painting it.

This truly terrible law and its entire political lineage probably is my actual Roman Empire
Sweden has gone ahead and passed their draconian "Nordic Model" bill criminalizing online creator content.
As of July 1, consumers who purchase an OnlyFans clip, a cam show or other creator content will be subject to arrest and a year in prison
All in order to "protect" women from exploitation.
