We're no more civilised than we've ever been. Slavery is contracted out to sweatshops. Drone footage of battlefield deaths have replaced amphitheatres. Tyrants sit on thrones appointed by a mob. Wealth is concentrated in the hands of the few while others starve. We are savage.

I think promising that you’ll only commit your most horrible crimes in secret isn’t *that* good a promise.

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

You have to admit though, Farage's 'I'm an open racist who spouts hate for his own country while taking backhanders from grifters, foreign agitators and a child porn producer' strategy has worked wonders for him so far.

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot
The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The tech guys have declared they are the future, and as such are not prey to our puny laws we developed to safeguard actual humans re: porn, consent, libel, copyright, health, mental health, environment, monopoly.

Dear USA. Your President Donald Trump is a war criminal, all members of the Trump cabinet are war criminals, and any members of your armed forces who took part in the invasion of Venezuela are also war criminals.

Reminder that in Britain seats for life in a legislator (the Lords) have routinely been sold for £3 million (and much less too)
Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:

Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

When it comes time to write the history of Europe in this period, there will be one area of consensus. One of the greatest errors European states ever made, was in trusting the USA.

Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump have many things in common--but historically one thing will tie them together more than any other. They have both done more to weaken their own countries than any two US or Russian leaders for a century (if not longer).

When you're raising a child it's daunting and frightening and lifechanging and you need the support of real humans around you who have done it for themselves, and to learn from them. What you do not need is conmen selling you their lying machines to do a job we have been doing since our beginnings.

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"
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
