Starmer's government redefines "terrorism" to include for the first time civil disobedience and protest.

Then it declares it's scrapping the ancient right to trial by jury (because juries too often acquit protesters).

In a rigged justice system, injustice is assured.

I wonder how AAR/SBL is going in relation to ICE and HS thuggery. If anyone knows figures for withdrawals and/or problems at the borders, I would be very interested to know the details.

Of course, I won't condone it when it finally happens, but someone using a gun in a deadly response to the thuggery of Fed fascists is long overdue. Lefty Americans have the patience of saints.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

One more month to the severing of my final link to the university of Bristol. No one has been using my work email except odd parts of the University, but if for some crazed reason you want to get in touch, I can access messages on here. Not sure I will put my email here anytime soon though.

Devastating ongoing self-immolation.
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

The stacking of the puberty blocker trial with SEGM-adjacent clinicians, its dreadful design and now Wes Streeting's public admission that its purpose is to collect evidence to *back up* the ban... are all MASSIVE red flags.

Parents of trans kids in the UK are in an impossible bind.
