It's amazing how many people are talking about the limiting of trial by jury without once mentioning Diplock Courts.

Accidentally giving a speech in French on a Belgian picket line was not how I expected today to go! Brilliant afternoon learning about the connected demands of the strike, talking with new friends about the challenges & lessons of organising + creative thinking across our international movement.

If you live in Ireland, remember that in recent memory a single rugby-loving bank CEO cost the taxpayer more than every single welfare recipient in the state COMBINED. #SpeirGorm
I would rather 50 people got benefits they didn't need than 1 went without food or shelter.
Hot take maybe but I actually don’t give a shit about benefit fraud.
I give a shit about multimillionaires and billionaires existing and not paying tax on their actual wealth.

If Thiel had actual courage, he'd just name himself the pope and start building a replica of Avignon. But, no, all we get is this anti-christ shite lecture series.
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

I went to immigration court in Seattle to observe the kids docket. These children, some as young as three years old, are expected to understand complex legal processes and represent themselves in court.
That’s not due process.

In college, Chevy Chase played drums in a jazz-rock trio called Leather Canary. Seeing no future in it, he quit to go off and become a globally successful comic actor. The remaining members decided to keep going as a duo, but changed their name to Steely Dan.

We might as well enjoy the SpyCops inquiry while it lasts because the way things are right now, it looks like it’ll be the last sip of transparency we’ll get for the next two decades at least.
It's worth noting this in the context of the "An assault on our ancient liberties" discourse around the plan to curtail jury trials. The UK justice system has always been anti-democratic and indulgent of the security state. Authoritarianism is built-in.

Proud of a property lawyer friend who, asked by students at a university society talk, whether London property was ‘still a good investment’ replied no, because to regard houses and flats as an investment rather than somewhere to live is immoral. Not the answer they expected, she said.
