Writing up notes from a public engagement event I worked on, and it is *interesting* how few people were confident about:
(a) what a public service is
(b) who it is for
(c) how it is paid for
Some thought a supermarket or an airline might be a public service because they are publicly available

Here's why I harp on about education.
Civic studies should join critical thinking our kids now start at 8.
Reform tax cuts = no public services

Stress is out of control - and it's time to force employers to act
Work-related stress is now the biggest health and safety problem facing working people. But the real scandal isn’t just how bad stress has become. It’s that employers are breaking the law by failing…

dump/bondi/ blanche are still not obeying the law. I wish a judge would appoint a Special Master. Then the Master would hire many lawyers to help him go through the files, redact the victims names, but then release them as batches to the public. It is time for the public to see the files.

Terrifying read Bear of how quickly the US has been turned into a country we no longer recognise as the land of the free. What scares me more is that it’s also happening here in full sight of our government and being promoted by journalists from organisations we used to trust.
The Telegraph is at it again - this time publishing what can only be described as weapons-grade propaganda straight from the Heritage Foundation.
Because of course they did.

It's President @realDonaldTrump's tacit acceptance of loss of 30,000 Russian lives a month as well as allied Ukrainian lives in Putin's meat grinder that's worst!

This shows Starmer’s approach to Trump has failed. The Chagos Deal was sold as proof the government could work with him, now it’s falling apart.

Worth remembering that France was the most outspoken Western nation against the Iraq War.
Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin told the UNSC in 2003:
