This is a long shot, but does anyone know of any work (academic or practitioner oriented) that works with the basic premises of asset-based community development but reworks them for communities that are spatialy dispersed and not (necessarily) place-based at neighbourhood scale?

Every day since 2016 the Daily Express has discovered, with accompanying outrage, that leaving the European Union meant leaving the European Union.

UK police: serious question - why is this not called out in the stations? I get honouring the dead, but at the very best, the TBL is closely linked to international white supremacist groups. Why adopt such a problematic symbol??? Wouldn't for example, a blue poppy do the job better??

A very nuanced and balanced read, and certainly made me reflect on my positionality on the #IsraelPalestineConflict

It is possible to have a nuanced political analysis, to decry terrorism and war crimes, to understand power imbalances and abuses, both current and historic, and to still not root for human rights, safety, and lives like sports teams.

Everyone should be safe. No children should be killed. None.

North/south split very visible in new @ons local income data but note:
- In North, Yorkshire/Humber & North East have the poorest areas (Wales too pre-housing costs). Y&H has 29 of 50 poorest places
- South West look like wider South with few poor areas but has few rich places
