The fact that Bluesky is replicating some of the worst impulses of Twitter before it completely imploded into neo-Nazis'R'Us makes me think it wasn't really Twitter that was the problem, but the inherent nature of social media that encourages & amplifies the worst of human vice.

The problem with Thatcherism is that eventually you run out of other people's assets to sell.
The central delusion of Thatcherism is the idea politicians can destroy the postwar settlement and replace it with nothing, which in practice turns out to always be panicking governments shoring up the systems they vandalised fuck out of, using sticky tape and wood glue.

Juries are not perfect.
Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials.
But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having.
They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.

This is utterly indefensible and shocking that he thought it acceptable to utter this. He should resign with immediate effect.

The UK Labour government is now proposing to scrap trial by jury for all crimes except the most serious cases.
This is a flagrant and gross assault on our collective human rights and dispenses with a principle that has been enshrined in law for 8 centuries.
