This is an absolute disgrace of an article. 7% of the electorate in this council ward voted for Reform and yet the BBC News report it as this.

There's a word for selling political influence for cash... (sadly Reform aren't the first to do so)

It is astonishing how many Reform supporters end up on the wrong side of the law.
Is ReformUK just a political dustbin for wrong 'uns?

Eight people are on hunger strike, several apparently at imminent risk of dying, because our law punishes more harshly those opposing genocide than those supporting it. (And under a so-called Labour Government.)

How on earth did we get here? www.vashtimedia.com/hunger-strik...
The hunger strikers are in mortal danger. But the conditions they’re being kept in are already critical.
How the government and its prisons ignore strikers' basic rights and demands.

Bet365 CEO Denise Coates paid herself £277,000,000 this year, and £410,000,000 in 2020.

This was more than 20,000x the Minimum Wage that she paid most of her workers.

The betting industry needs to be taxed, heavily.

Picture a team of medical professionals observing him taking his dementia tests, cheering when he can tell the difference between a giraffe and an elephant, nodding in approval when he shows off his FIFA participation medal.

Can you picture it?

So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year.

It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

The only reason you can't have a Jury Trial is because they have fired all the staff and shut all the courts.

Offending rates are now a quarter of what they were in the 1990's when the system coped just fine.
