Always good to reinject a bit of Death Cab into the system. Helps that the new album is one of their best in ages.

That relative clause is doing a lot of work for the far-right. Let's face it, a plumber, teacher, delivery driver, care worker or even a politician from outside the principality itself, WHO COULD BE A MURDERER, may move unchecked into the area.
ASYLUM seekers who could be murderers may move unchecked into the planned camp near Piddington with more freedom than protesting villagers, Kemi Badenoch has claimed.

The Tory leader was told by local women that police have advised them to run and hide if they fear danger.

She said: "This is not just an immigration issue. This is a women's issue, a safeguarding issue. People will not be

Back in Spring 2026, I did an interview with @letsgomathias.bsky.social about his book, To Catch a Fascist. @bylinetimes.bsky.social & Novara both featured articles from it & this, published yesterday in @mediamagemc.bsky.social is aimed at A-Level Media students on the media dimensions of fascism.

And these lines are crucial.
Inequality in policing plainly does exist, and it has been borne out over decades by collected data. Black people in Britain are seven times more likely than white people to die after police restraint. Black children in England and Wales are almost eight times more likely to be strip-searched and are also overrepresented in the use of force through tasers and handcuffs. The disparity in these issues have been campaigned against for decades. And yet, as in the case of UFFC and other campaigns, campaigners have always recognised how bad policing makes all of us unsafe. Nowak’s case could be pulled into this long history of policing failures; instead it has been spun as a nativist tale that represents the threat that immigrant and minority communities present to white British people.

Interesting development here @localnotail.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...
Commenting on today’s policing operation in London, the Met Police said they had made two arrests near Euston station.

A statement from the force read:

Officers have made two arrests in the vicinity of Euston station.

Two men, wanted on suspicion of GBH following an incident in Birmingham where a man was run over, were spotted arriving into London to attend the UTK protest.

San Siro is an amazing place but the ultras were just weird. It was like what they did had no relation to the game and was just an unrelated performance. Just as well, given that Udinese twatted AC Milan 3 nil.
