Q: Is it legal in the UK for an online service to switch you from a free account to a paid subscription, without having a your explicit permission?

MusicGateway are saying it's covered in their T&Cs, but it seems like extremely sharp practice to me, at best.

Has the world, collectively, ever been happier over who won the prize?

Starmer deserves a medal for delivering a charm offensive to that pathetic narcissist, but if it's helped bring about even temporary peace in Gaza, it's been well worth all the stifled vomit.

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues.

Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject.

The *only* reason Trump is doing this is because of his massive ego & trying to get a Nobel prize like Obama. It really eats into him. Otherwise he doesn't give a f*ck about the deaths & destruction.
His plan for Gaza purely revolved around *him* having a lucrative construction project

The man who helped Israel with a Genocide has discussed a cease fire for a moment to get a Nobel Peace prize then will start building hotels on the Gaza Strip. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets it in this fucked up world we live in.

Maybe an unconscious bias on your part, do you think?

Maybe not though.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Heseltine at the Tory conf:

The idea that 1.5°C is safe is a dangerous illusion. We’ve already crossed multiple tipping points — the Great Barrier Reef, West Antarctica, Greenland. These shifts aren’t future risks. They’re happening now. — David Spratt
