Andy Burnham needs to tackle this immediately. People should have the right to peaceful protest without fear of being arrested.

Of all the books we've been recommended for our #HumanistBookshelf, Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark has been recommended more than any other. It's easy to see why.

‘I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues... when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.’ Carl Sagan. Cosmologist, author, humanist.

Thought for the day from 🇫🇷

Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.

Denis Diderot

The quote "Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest" is widely attributed to Denis Diderot, though its authenticity and exact wording are disputed.

Original Source: The sentiment likely originated with the atheist priest Jean Meslier, who recorded it in his posthumous Testament (published 1864, though written earlier) as the wish of an "uneducated man" that all nobles and rulers be hanged with priestly guts.

Diderot’s Actual Words: Diderot expressed a similar idea in his 1772 poem Les Éleuthéromanes, writing that a free man’s hands "would weave the entrails of the priest / For the lack of a cord with which to strangle kings."

Misattribution: The popular phrasing was likely popularized by Jean-François de La Harpe in 1840, who attributed a modified version to Diderot, and later by Voltaire, who edited Meslier’s testament and rewrote the passage to focus on the "last king" and "last priest."

The quote serves as a radical Enlightenment critique of absolute monarchy and religious authority, suggesting that true human freedom requires the destruction of both political and theological power structures.

A street. A car has been pulled over by the police. The police car has 'FASHION POLICE' written on the side. A police officer says to the driver of the car he's pulled over, "I'm going to need you to step out of the vehicle, walk in a straight line, pose, and then walk in the other direction."

Fascists know they are in a battle for the soul of this country, and they won't let fundraising law, or qualms about beating up dissenters, get in their way. If they win power, they are clear: they will crush resistance. The rest of us are meekly hoping 'someone' will stop them. There is no someone.

Yes I acknowledge it makes sense in context but “I need my car to meet criminals” is now my favourite basis for an attempted exceptional hardship plea. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Best-selling crime author Lynda La Plante has been disqualified from driving for six months, despite tearfully telling the court a ban would end her writing career.
The 83-year-old author and screenwriter told Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court she needed her car to meet criminals and sources for research into her next works of fiction.
