Despairing UK citizen (or is it 'subject of our King'?)

Intensely angry at where neoliberalism has brought us all.

Also in despair at where the Anthropocene is taking us and our children.

Just thankful for the pleasure and balm of music.

Turns out to be a pretty average flu year that started a bit earlier.

NHS and Govt have a responsibility to communicate data responsibly and they failed this winter.

The reality for the other students is that they are no longer enrolled in a psychology class. It is a Psychology plus My Personal Christian Beliefs class.

Every class at OU is now a My Personal Christian Beliefs class.

Every time any student raises such beliefs, instructors have to accept them.

Reports that Palestine Action activists on hunger strike have been hospitalised due to seriously deteriorating health send chills down the spine.

The Government should agree to meet their representatives whilst prosecutors must take steps to end this excessively lengthy pre-trial detention.

The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing.

This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.

Soon we’re all going to be penalized for speaking unkind words about the führer and liberals — the resistance will be labeled as “Enemies of the State” and become National Security Threats. They’re going to take away our voices if we don’t stop them.

Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide.

When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble.

Yes, the coverage and the government's lack of response seem nightmarishly unreal. It's as if Starmer's Zionist paymasters had told him these people's lives are worthless.

An English local council innovates, evaluates what it did, finds it works (replicating an earlier study in Scotland) … and all councils are told by the Labour government not to try it. What message does this convey? Another victory for ideology & cowardice
