Britain's youth clubs have been quietly decimated. What's most revealing is that few seem to care | John Harris

The key driver in the #Gaza 20 point plan is revealed in #1; in fact, the entire plan could be reduced to: "Gaza will be de-radicalised..." What this means is the very concept of #Palestine will be depoliticised, neutralised, consigned to history. Notions of self-determination will die in its wake.

Cooking the books also in terms of jobs; data centres will create jobs for no more than a few maintenance engineers and a handful of security guards.
They will consume huge tracts of land (likely displacing housing development) and energy (derailing climate targets).

Data centers bring money to small towns. But do they also bring jobs?
Tech companies are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in data centers across the country. But despite the record-setting price tags, the centers create few jobs.

In discussing the impact of #Covid on children & young people, we should not assume the cost of not going to school was manifest in being deprived of time spent with friends. Increasingly, schools actively restrict associational time, including getting rid of lunch, to prevent anti-social behaviour.

I think this is misleading the public. The organic label means something to millions of people. The Soil Association recognises the harm Organophosphates cause and stands against the use of all chemicals in animal farming - but allows it in the farming of fish. Why?

This is #Palantir; they created the algorithm the #IDF uses to justify the killing of "uninvolved individuals"; the higher the 'value' the target the greater the number it's deemed ok to kill. Not that there's coding for women and children or where to attack: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
