Reform: where no one is too corrupt, no one is too racist, no one is too incompetent.
They welcome any and all shitstains. Very few questions asked. No principles ever needed. Just a raging sense of entitlement and a willingness to betray your country for money and maybe a grubby peerage.

how I make my BBC programme Human Intelligence
and what it's taught me about research (including AI for research). plus! chill games, 'young people culture' and the movie from Iran to watch this week

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

At this very moment, foxes are being hunted, exhausted, and ripped apart by hounds all under the guise of "tradition."
Boxing Day is the biggest event for the hunting community, even though it’s illegal.

Best. Film. Ever.
This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
