Post-9/11 fear grew the surveillance state. 25 years later, it's still growing.
The U.S. government responded in ways that are so integrated into daily life that we no longer recognize them.

I’ve signed a letter alongside 52 other MPs urging the Independent Press Standards Organisation to investigate the coverage of Professor Jason Arday in the weeks leading up to his death, during which 249 articles were published about him.

Ever climbed into a car that's been baking in the sun and wondered why our biggest car parks don't have roofs? The Government was considering exactly that. It has now quietly parked the idea. Here's why it matters.

I'm hiding this under a pic of Frank because obvs word count issues. Here's how to complain to the Electoral Commission about Reform's 'vote for us or you get concentration camps' bullshit. Details in the pic.
Cut and paste the below and send to the Electoral Commission addresses at the end:

"Formal Complaint: Undue Influence and Coercive Campaigning by Reform UK

Dear Electoral Commission Regulatory Team,

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the campaign tactics recently announced by Reform UK on May 4, 2026.  

The party's home affairs spokesperson has publicly committed to a policy of "prioritising" the placement of migrant detention centres—with a proposed capacity of 24,000 individuals—specifically in constituencies and council areas that vote for the Green Party. Conversely, the party has "guaranteed" that areas electing Reform UK representatives will be exempt from these facilities.  

I believe this constitutes "Undue Influence" under the Representation of the People Act, as it uses the threat of infrastructure placement to pressure citizens into voting a certain way or to penalise them for their existing political affiliations. This tactic appears designed to:  

•⁠  ⁠Intimidate voters by threatening negative local consequences for their democratic choices.  

•⁠  ⁠Incentivise votes through the promise of specific geographic exemptions that are not based on administrative or logistical necessity, but purely on partisan alignment.  

Threatening to punish specific geographical areas based on their voting record is a violation of the principle that elections should be free from coercion. I urge the Commission to investigate whether this policy breaches the Electoral Code of Conduct or the legal prohibitions against intimidatory behavior in campaigning.  

I look forward to your response regarding the steps being taken to ensure the integrity of the 2026 local and further national elections."

Can celebrate the Green win this morning gaining the seat over Labour. The reformist racist agenda split between 3 parties (Ref, Lab and Con) comprehensively beaten. There is hope. But I’m expecting the trumpian “rigged election” rhetoric to dominate the news. But there is hope again and it’s good.

As the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis are ordered to release people they've kidnapped, they do it in the dead of night to make sure it's as cruel and brutal as possible. Fortunately, compassionate Patriots are there to meet them and make sure they're ok and driven to their homes.

After 3 years working under Putin’s missiles and drones as our Ambassador to Ukraine, I resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. The America I proudly served for 28 years does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are. But the Trump Admin keeps doing exactly that. 1/3
