It's horrible, but it shouldn't shock anyone. The criminalization of the drug trade ruins so many lives and kills so many people.

If drugs were not criminalized, this wouldn't have happened.
A look at how China is improving its education system for the sake of young people, contrasted with how South Korea cares more about improving its birth rate.

It's an autocracy vast numbers of people voted for. That tells you it's not just one man at fault, but a failed country which is absolutely rotten to the core.
We live in a country where the president can order a comedian to be yanked off TV. What I describe is not a democracy.
EU policymakers are too busy worrying about how to spy on innocent people's digital devices via their ProtectEU scheme. Actual indications of a possible Europe-wide war are a relatively trivial matter.
It's time for Korea and other Asian tigers to stop sucking up to the US, and invest in countries like China and Vietnam instead.
So about that recent ICE raid on Koreans...
On the one hand, Farage is a monster. On the other hand, with the UK's present government criminalizing basically everything in the entire world, likening it to North Korea is really quite apt. It's hard to know what to say when two vile institutions have knives at each other's necks.
“It is the opposite of patriotism… a treacherous act… because he goes to other countries and does us in”

Technology Secretary Peter Kyle on Nigel Farage giving evidence on free speech to the US House of Representatives, in which he compared the UK to North Korea.

And as with many global atrocities, this evil couldn't continue without America's active support.
Only 25% of Gaza detainees are identified as fighters by Israeli military intelligence.

Civilian detainees have included an 82-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s who was jailed for six weeks and a single mother who found her children begging on the streets upon her release following 53 days in prison.

Boeing should be criminally prosecuted, but it will never happen because they have the bipartisan support of the US government. 'Too big to fail' is a license to kill.

It is a normal book club though. Hardly anyone in the club has read the damn book and yet they have strong opinions about it.
Vaccine sceptic RFK Jr has called for the retraction of a Danish study that found no link between aluminium in vaccines and chronic diseases in children — a rare move...

“Kennedy has demonstrated that he wants the scientific literature to bend to his will”, says Oransky.

And yet governments will do nothing to fix systemic problems that push large numbers of people to the brink.
FBREAKING: Fox News says we might see a new wave of large numbers of people doing what Luigi Mangione did.
Limits on 'dirty talk' and how the performers can touch their own bodies? The UK's prudism is becoming more and more extreme. Just make sure the women (and men) performing at these venues are there voluntarily.
Online platforms like OnlyFans are often seen as alternatives to strip clubs. But performers say in-person work has clearer boundaries. One dancer notes the advantages of physical clubs’ security staff, CCTV and peer friendships
British authorities are cracking down on strip clubs
They are misguided to do so

It's not "another major offensive". It's another wave of genocidal attacks, blowing screaming civilians to pieces. Children will be orphaned today. They will find their parents maimed beyond recognition. And western leaders will utter meek words of slight disapproval.
Israel is on the brink of launching another major offensive, this time in famine-stricken Gaza City. Here’s a closer look at why the war continues with no end in sight.

One point we need to make is that teens sexting each other - which is very common - would likely have their private images sent to the authorities under this proposal. The EU would essentially be hacking teens' phones and leaking their nudes to the police.
It's much easier to randomly point fingers than to fix actual problems...

Iran building a nuclear bomb to defend itself against countries like the US and Israel would be perfectly understandable. Its treatment of women and gay people is a much bigger issue.

A gay man of Rylan's age should know better than to regurgitate propaganda whipped up about a minority group (in his case asylum seekers) on his huge This Morning platform . He's a bit younger than me but I think he'll still remember the ugly campaign against S28 repeal.
