As Dov notes in this excellent thread, this is a cross-party, pan-UK failure, BUT: in particular one of the things I will never understand about Keir Starmer is that he did nothing on this. They literally organised an arson attack on *his house*! Members of his family live there!

I have never been more disappointed to be right, and I really thought I had hit the bottom of that the evening of 23 June 2016.

And of course we should note that hunter-gatherers are not the only alternative to agriculture. There are also pastoralists, like the famously peaceful Mongols and Huns. Some of those groups also lack individual ownership of land, which doesn't for a moment stop them from doing war. end/

UK antiracism discourse in the United Kingdom in 2026 is just different social minorities claiming that the reason why “Social Justice Inc” hasn’t solved their problem is they are too busy with another social minority and no-one noticing that Social Justice Inc filed for bankruptcy sometime in 2011.

I want to make clear for a second with this comment, it’s not just the green dipshit in this particular thread, it’s the entirety of 21st century fucking politics doing this now. Republicans want manufacturing job where hungover man swings hammer, because of aesthetic.

The curse of British progressive politics: we have a Labour party that is preoccupied with winning the support of workers who are retired or dead, a Liberal Democrat party with no interest in defending liberal democracy, and a Green party with no real interest in climate change.

This is importantly incorrect - Labour did a whole bunch of evil culture war shit whilst raising government spending and improving worker rights. The take-out is that riding those horses at the same time doesn't work, working class right wingers are too far down the rabbit hole to win with policy!

The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis. Hmmmmmm.

Yes, but if the Council of Nicaea *had* been overseen by an English unitary authority with a directly-elected mayor, I reckon we’d have more consistent dates for Easter. The movable feast thing plays havoc with the bin collection timetables.

This is part of a bigger story that hasn't had much coverage about the FCDO being cut to ribbons. Development funding has been slashed but foreign office staff are also being reduced by 20-30%.

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.

Failing to anticipate people would use your image generation bot to make consentless-pornography should be criminal incompetence. Failing to include safeguards against it should be criminal negligence. Failing to shut it down once (a) and (b) became obvious should be criminal distribution.

Bleakly funny thing about present day British politics is that Keir Starmer has achieved the Blairite dream of representing *all* working people, but this Labour government hates it, because they would rather represent the 'right sort' of working person.

well on the one hand it's bad for democracy and social cohesion that Keir Starmer is trying to appeal to the racists by pretending to be one of them, but on the other hand it's not actually working and the racists still don't want to vote for him

One way that the modern Internet is terrible for liberalism is that it is really easy to find out about people who either dislike you or whose lifestyle choices you dislike, and frankly the best way to go through life, in so many ways, is just to be able to go 'that's not my concern'.
