Phillipson said: “It’s been little surprise to me that there’s been such vociferous criticism from lawyers about the changes that we’re bringing. You know, they’ve got a vested interest in maintaining the failed status quo. There’s profit to be made. “They want the system to remain as it is, because they make a profit often out of exploiting parents. And I don’t, for one second, blame parents [who] are pushing really hard for what their children need. Who wouldn’t? But it’s a fundamentally unfair system if parents who’ve got the money to hire lawyers end up getting a better deal than those who don’t.

Incoherent, populist ('let's kill all the lawyers') garbage, from Bridget Phillipson.

If you "don't blame parents" for "pushing really hard for what their children need," and "hiring lawyers" means you "get a better deal" aren't parents right to hire lawyers, and what is it lawyers are doing wrong?

Apart from the sovereignty issue, that's about 22% of annual US production of Tomahawks flying past there.

This isn't a sustainable campaign.

Popular Mechanics magazine from 1982, with the cover art being a " Submarine super-tanker" travelling underneath the Arctic ice. What could possibly go wrong? I'm not sure what the smaller submarines hanging about like metallic remora are diff, but I hope they're not drones. Other headlines suggest you can "play video arcade games on a home computer" and also offer "RAF jets: upside down at 100ft". Sounds about right, tbf. They don't recruit based on brains, you know.

With the Strait of Hormuz once again host to militarily encouraged natural disasters, maybe it's time to dust off an old concept?

(Spoiler: it isn't)

Telling the world you ran out of bombs after sucker-punching world superpowers <checks notes> Venezuela and Iran is not a flex. In fact, it makes us look like the blowhard paper tiger we are. You killed public education to fund the military for decades and ran out of bombs in two weeks

labour have gained 0% of reform voters & lost half of theirs

Yes! You kill civilians it hardens their resistance. Even if by accident. Hence, using air power responsibly is incredibly important. This is not a fucking video game.

And so the American experiment with democracy is transformed from Lincoln's "the last best hope of earth...The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just—a way which if followed the world will forever applaud and God must forever bless..."

...becomes "We are really good at killing people."

Tech brain.

EXCL: Reform UK have been processing cryptocurrency donations through Poland, under a 'lax' regulatory regime which previously housed a Cambodian crime syndicate sanctioned by the US Treasury for laundering $4 billion in illicit funds (inc. proceeds from North Korean state-sponsored cyber heists)

we are back to stigmatising mental health issues

I mean it only lasted less than ten years, we can now go back to call people slurs and refer to them as being "lazy" again

yay. progress.

The Bank of England is replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our bank notes. This is the definition of woke.

Last Post on this.

Churchill has only been on the £5 since September 2016. Before that it was Elizabeth Fry the prison reformer.

Did Farage call her removal woke too?

This isn't some ancient tradition but Farage is ridiculous. And that statement is timeless

“She’s the exception, I am the rule.”

Such articulate cutting through of the nonsense around puberty blockers and eg Keira Bell’s detransitioning from Stephanie Lynnette on GMB this morning. It is also a refreshing relief to see a trans person actually being allowed to speak for once!

U.S. Plan to Unblock Strait of Hormuz Collides With Realities of Global Insurance The U.S.-centric insurance idea runs counter to the realities of an international market, according to industry executives.

"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said."

When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine."

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

Mary Trump: “For Donald, there is one reason and one reason alone. He's in trouble, and he knows it. This isn't simply about changing the subject. That, of course, would be bad enough. This is to keep himself and the world from knowing what an inept, depraved, compromised fraud he is."

Keir Starmer and David Lammy are taking an extraordinarily dangerous gamble with our individual liberty This week, MPs will vote on the second reading of the Courts and Tribunals Bill. Don’t let the anodyne name fool you – this is one of the most revolutionary pieces of legislation in our…

NEW BLOGPOST: Keir Starmer and David Lammy are taking an extraordinarily dangerous gamble with our individual liberty

For any MP unsure of how to vote on the government’s proposals to restrict trial by jury.

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you

Labour lawyers ‘blocked’ from briefing MPs on jury trials overhaul before vote Leader of rebel group says there is deep concern within Society of Labour Lawyers about courts and tribunals bill

This is shocking. Labour lawyers ‘blocked’ from briefing MPs on jury trials overhaul before vote. The Prime Minister is completely out of control on this. MPs must come together and stop him from undermining & restricting a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy

Tweet by Philip Proudfoot saying Switzerland stopped being neutral after condemning U.S.–Israeli attacks on Iran as a violation of international law, quoting an Al Jazeera Breaking News headline.

A Swiss kick in the ass.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Fox News Apologizes For Airing Footage Of Old Dignified Transfer After Trump Criticized For Wearing Hat

They're only sorry because they got caught.

This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

Post from Drop Site News claiming Bellingcat geolocation confirms U.S. Tomahawk missiles struck a girls’ primary school in southern Iran, killing around 180 people, most of them children, with an embedded tweet describing footage of the strike.

Further confirmation of what Trump keeps denying and what Hegseth won't admit to. It was the U.S. that struck that girls’ school.

This is exactly right.

Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.

We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.

Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.
