Wild that the 1970's Dulwich College prefect programme is almost perfectly analogous with the modern UK electoral system.
To be fair to Dulwich College this letter from the Master shows that SOME senior personnel DID speak out.
But how was Farage MADE prefect when someone of this seniority clearly thought it wrong.
As it was.

The right wing press will not cover allegations about Farage's anti-Semitism in the way they covered Corbyn's because they were never interested in the actual racism. It was all about politics. But broadcasters have obligations under impartiality rules. They have no excuses.

Sadly, as described, I don’t think it will bother the ‘it’s just banter’ crowd. Equally I predict the likes of Telegraph readers will dismiss it as “smears” against one of their own in much the same way parts of the Left did under Corbyn.
It remains to be seen whether it even cuts thru to Jews

I wonder how much this cuts through – there's a fairly significant element among football fans angry that they're not allowed to sing eg the antisemitic chant about Spurs (that I last heard in the crowd after Blur's Wembley gig); "it's just banter" etc

Don’t believe Nigel Farage’s denials. He targeted me for being Jewish – and it hurt | Peter Ettedgui
Now that my former classmate has finally spoken about the allegations of his behaviour at school, I feel compelled to address his points directly, says Peter Ettedgui, a film director and producer

This is so embarrassing for the BBC. Journalists, MPs, public should be calling this out. We desperately need a strong, independent, ambitious BBC! Let this humiliating episode be the turning point
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"

This man has made a career from xenophobia and racism. He currently heads an extremist party. Listen carefully to how he answers the questions, we know what he is, because once in no.10, he will reveal himself.

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

First scene of found footage horror 👍🏻
The US ice core research community, with international partners, has recovered valuable records of past climate from the Arctic & Antarctic since the 1950s.
Here is a sampling of cores—including 6,000,000 year old ice via NSF Center for Oldest Ice Exploration—at the NSF Ice Core Facility.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.
