So much for Our British Values
Imagine coming up with a proposal so stupid, so unworkable, so thoughtless, that it makes Robert Jenrick look sane by comparison.

Jury trials could be scrapped except in most serious cases
Only cases of alleged murder, rape or manslaughter will be decided by a jury under new proposals to cut court backlogs.

I’m personally not a techno millenarian dullard still, no
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Love to live in a country which takes young people's safety online so seriously you have to give a random third party website your full ID to send DMs but should a young person be trans it's apparently open season for every embittered 50-something out there.

Phillips has been like this consistently for 2 decades - I’ve said it before but I’ll repeat it - he bought “island of strangers“ discourse into the Labour Party far earlier than Starmer
UK now at the point where the former Chair of the Racial Equalities Commission is calling for campaigns of terror against people of colour on the streets of the UK
Trevor Philips in the Times, calling for a Trump/Miller-style of random deportations based on skin colour.

Do I know anyone on here who went to a British boys boarding school -preferably the elite kind- within the last 20 years? If that doesn't describe you then retweet this until somebody it does describe sees this.

I would simply stop banging my head against a brick wall over such a worthless concept tbh!
While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

More Black women are evicted every year than Black men are incarcerated. For profit prisons are one of the leading funders of lobbying against tenants' rights ordinances and for strict no-fault eviction laws. The reason is simple: eviction feeds the carceral state.

Much like their addiction to creating AI slop pictures of things that haven't happened (a giant Muslim man eating Big Ben or whatever they get mad at) - their constant insistence that beans/milkshakes *could* have been acid has the same epistemological premises

It appears the UK government is not taking any steps to investigate or help investigate Israeli war crimes in Gaza.
With Russia in Ukraine, the UK is giving millions to the ICC to investigate war crimes.
Some war crimes are more acceptable than others.

In 1889, schoolkids in Britain held a nationwide wave of school walkouts, taking to the streets to demand shorter hours, less homework, less corporal punishment and free education.
