if you are concerned that magistrates are being given more powers and you think that the demographics of magistrates might mean that these powers are unfairly deployed, a good thing to do is to look up the qualifications to become a magistrate and to think seriously about doing that yourself

Trump et al. The Free Speech Absolutists:
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The EU’s top court ruled today that when a same-sex couple is legally married in one member country, any other member country where they move or reside must recognize that marriage.

Farage is speaking at Venue Cymru tonight.

Last revamped in 2018 with £1.8 million of EU development money and another £1 million in business development cash.

Original development also received significant EU funding.

Farage, by contrast, will give Llandudno nothing but hot air and lies.

TL;DR study showing it's not so bad, but the data is crap. We've cut weather station monitoring, we barely monitor rural areas in low-income countries where climate change is really felt, and we don't include data from some of the hottest countries in the world.
Researching this week's column, I stumbled across something that amazed me:
the near-absence of reliable data about climate impacts over most of the
world. Due to the rich world's failure to fund research. We don't know
because our governments don't care. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
