One of the great hypocrisies (among many) of death penalty supporters is that their political creed is fundamentally based on the government being completely incompetent to manage anything except 100% accuracy in death penalty cases.

The President of the United States is a lunatic. Worse, people who are not lunatics refuse to do anything about it. Worse still, way too many press people are pretending he's not a lunatic.

When I lived in the UK none of my concerns e.g. affordable housing, climate action, increases in welfare spending, scrapping tuition fees, an ethical foreign policy, were ever framed as legitimate concerns. lnstead I was routinely told to fuck off by most political parties for having such concerns.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Also, creating a hurdle that needs to be cleared to access a lot of roads to success in later life, and subjecting kids to it at a point where their brains, bodies, and social relationships are in the greatest state of flux, is capricious and cruel.

Polanski very stupid for what he shared, but Reform’s pivot from bringing a woman who called for hotels full of asylum seekers to be burned down as their guest of honour at conference, to saying the Green leader should be jailed - is a difficult circle to square

As with sex education, the thought that there might actually be ways to empower young people to safeguard themselves, that require a meaningful, consistent investment in trust and respect, is simply too much for pettifogging puritanical authoritarians to accept.

We need to encourage degree education that trains the mind and has no practical purpose. It outputted people who could apply their intelligence to anything. Universities should be purely places of academic learning, and not vocational training centres.

The astronomical debt from student loans puts kids from lower income group families off going to university and discourages others from studying courses that won't offer "a return." That was obvious from the start and it's also turned some university courses into little more than finishing schools

#36: Breakfast

A screenshot of the headline to a Guardian column by Adrian Chiles. The headline reads" 'London has plenty of posh breakfast options- but give me a greasy spoon any day.'

My invitation went to Peter, Ian, Dinah and James. Food critics all, accustomed to only the finest restaurants in the capital, their words—as they had many times demonstrated—able to make a business, or kill it stone dead. An exclusive launch at dawn of the finest breakfast establishment in Soho, Temptations Cafe. Their faces, when they found not the soft furnishings and genteel ambience to which they were accustomed, but the formica tables and wipe-clean menus of a traditional greasy spoon, were a picture.
They didn’t recognise me, their host, at first. Why should they? It was only when I outlined my mission of revenge, when I had explained to them that I had not only arranged for their deaths, but could tell them exactly how they would die, that they began to realise who I was.
I began with Peter. He would leave from this place, take the train back to Berkshire. The only sandwich left in the buffet car, ox tongue and mustard, would sicken him, cause him to lean out of the window and be decapitated by a passing express.
Ian would go home, critique his long-suffering wife’s preparation of their gourmet supper for the thousandth—and last—time and end up diced and braised as part of the entrée for their invited guests that evening.
Dinah would attempt to steal a taste of a forbidden dish, prepared by the world’s greatest chef for a singular wealthy client only, and in the process find herself trapped in a walk-in freezer, her corpse later discovered with her tongue frozen solid to the plate.
Finally, James, while escaping the jealous owner of a Turkish restaurant, with whose wife he had been having an affair, would leap from a first floor window and find himself skewered, tail to top, on the railing beneath.
They scoffed at me, called me a madman, told me my stories were pure fantasy. But when they went to leave the greasy spoon, the door wouldn’t open, and they realised, too late, that the red light outside was not the coming dawn, but the burning of hellfire.

The main attraction of the UK to asylum seekers is that if they have a second language is quite likely to be English, and because they often have existing diasporic family/friend connections there. These are actually *advantages* the UK possesses as a a desirable place if it could only see that.

If you require migrants to meet higher standards than the average Brit, whether that is in terms their language requirements, voluntary service, which isn't remotely "voluntary" if it is compulsory, or anything else then you have a system which is by definition discriminatory. One which dehumanises.
