The Venn diagram of men engaged in financial misconduct (from tax evasion to reckless speculation with public money) and men engaged in sexual misconduct (from sexually harassing female colleagues to rape and pedophilia) is amazingly close to being a single giant circle.
Offshore facilitates both.

🏊♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.
In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.
Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.
He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.
Speechless.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.

'“The term does not necessarily signify mass killings although it may mean that... More often it refers to a coordinated plan aimed at destruction of the essential foundations ... of the life of national groups.” The “machine gun” was merely a “last resort.”' [quoting Lemkin]
The sad reality is that Israel’s actions likely met Lemkin’s original definition long before the war on Gaza.
How we've failed the promise of making “genocide” a crime
The lawyer Raphael Lemkin hoped to use international law to curb abuses of power. But his efforts were curtailed from the start.

🚨 The Prime Minister has announced a shocking new 'one in, one out' deal with France to be piloted in the coming weeks.
Under the deal, some people seeking asylum in the UK will be forcibly returned to France in exchange for someone seeking asylum in France.
This is extremely concerning.
