Farage trying to use class identity to silence criticism of him, but this time it's not like stifling concerns over Brexit for fear of class betrayal. His comments are abhorrent. How dare he implicate whole communities in his disgusting racism. People everywhere, of every class care. #DontVoteReform
Farage tells @hugorifkind.bsky.social that accusations that he hissed gas sounds at Jewish students at school are a concern of "those that live in London and the upper middle classes".

Energy bills soar & the King is making profit at our expense. Charles says he cares about the environment. You’d expect him to stand behind cheap, clean power. Sign the petition to demand the Crown Estate lower fees on seabeds & make wind farms more affordable to build. act.gp/48TINlv

This morning the BBC were selling their new TV series Civilisations:Rise and Fall as some kind of sequel to Kenneth Clark's 1969 TV series Civilisation.
Not even close.

Limiting the right to jury trial will not get rid of the backlog of criminal cases.
The criminal justice system is the epitome of inefficiency. Almost every part of it seems designed to cause unnecessary delays. Correct that and the backlog will go, without infringing on the rights of defendants.

Courts minister: “Do we think that someone who has stolen a bottle of whisky from a minimart should receive the right to trial by jury?"
Idiotic.
An innocent person falsely accused of stealing, whose life would be ruined by a conviction, has a right to a jury trial.

I don't have a good view of the northern horizon from my home near Lichfield UK, but early this morning the clouds cleared, the UK Aurora Watch app ticked up over 700 nT and I managed to snap a faint aurora behind the trees.

I've just wasted nearly two hours of my life watching House of Dynamite.
Dr. Strangelove tells the same story, but is ten times more engaging.

I'm watching The Thursday Murder Club, quietly so as not to annoy my companion who enjoys this kind of film.

Just listened to Matthew Syed's BBC radio 4 programme "Sideways" exploring the interaction between language and thoughts ... incredibly without once (as I recall) mentioning the Sapir Whorf hypothesis.
