Keep in mind, we could have already advanced so much in this field if, for political reasons, mRNA vaccines were not severely attacked over the past 5 years. We are closer than ever to a cure for #MultipleSclerosis, and that involves preventing #EBV from damaging the brain.

Judicial reviews are very often the last resort local communities have in defending nature against greedy corporate interests + rotten planning.
The gov. wants to undermine that via false blame for the housing crisis, etc.

Judicial reviews serve the common good
Rather than castigating public-spirited ordinary people concerned by planning problems, the Government should focus on properly resourcing the planning and legal systems

Well this is just flagrantly anti-democratic, isn't it?
Only those of significant financial means would be able to afford a judicial review of a planning decision.
The "Critical Infrastructure" argument being put forward by the government is bullshit.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.
