In the UK, a Prince was stripped of all his titles and thrown out of the Royal household.
The UK Ambassador to the US was fired and has just resigned from his party in disgrace.
In America, a man connected more deeply to the same pedophile sex ring remains the President.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.
How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

A thoughtful response by @igmansfield.bsky.social to the essay I posted yesterday on "Brexit in Historical Perspective". (With a nice touch of Tolkien at the end!)
There's been too little constructive dialogue between Leavers and Remainers since 2016. So I'm grateful to Iain for engaging with this.

Post-Brexit Britain should look to Canada, not to nostalgic dreams of Empire, as its model and inspiration.

The more I watch this from Hannah Spencer, two things happen:
1. The more I like it and her.
2. The more it makes me want to get out and do what she says by volunteering.
... I'm surprisingly moved by 2, as I can physically feel it breaking through the armour of scepticism I've built around myself.

"Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous."

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

It's a wee bit unfair to say that Ofcom has utterly failed to uphold standards on climate misinformation. In reality they've utterly failed to uphold standards on the vast majority of misinformation and disinformation across UK broadcasting for more than two decades.
We watched Ofcom getting grilled by the UK Parliament's Energy Security & Net Zero Committee and - oh my...
