Just as well those committing wrongs against the RNLI are not holding placards supporting a proscribed organisation, else they would really be in trouble.

Major insurance companies are protected from flooding losses by a government and industry scheme paid for by everyone who insures their home We can reveal that some of those same insurers are underwriting and investing in coal, oil and gas projects that are driving catastrophic climate change

Stop calling it a climate problem. Call it what it is: organized greed. The planet isn’t dying. It’s being killed for profit. The killers have names. And boardrooms. #ClimateJustice #StopEcocide

Its a form of esoteric utilitarianism, that Greenland & Denmark play along with Trump's narcissism, by signing an agreement at the UN General Assembly to secure their interests + ratify the status quo, without pointing out what they are doing. The somewhat naive reporting may enable this to succeed.

Fairly eye opening post from Llanberis MRT: showing how their callout rates have basically tripled in 6 years. Friends who do MRT in the Dales and Lakes tell the same story. A lot of it does seem to be social media influencers driving people to more risky routes - and not mentioning difficulty.

NEW Why holding a placard is a terrorist act, while causing disruption in a balaclava is not The mess caused by ministers and the police not taking terrorism law seriously By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Recent events in England now reveal the practical difference between terrorists and protesters. It would seem that terrorists peacefully hold placards and get immediately arrested, while protesters wear black uniforms and balaclavas and disrupt infrastructure and do not get arrested.

How did we get into this mess? How have we placed ourselves in the position where terrorism legislation is used to detain and prosecute peaceful protesters, while those adopting the terror tactics of private armies seem to be free to do as they wish?

The reason is that for some time British politicians have not taken terrorism legislation seriously, and that ministers have got into the habit of misusing terror laws for easy targets.

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

Louise Casey makes the point that care is underpaid compared to the NHS - another example of a Cinderella service so painfully laid bare during Covid-19. Care workers get an average annual salary of £23k. NHS healthcare worker starts on £25k. We undervalue care as a society.
