The ‘harm’ from immigration is illusionary. The harm from too little immigration is all too real.

Clearly that's still the intention. Their ideal is still that they give absolutely nothing to the left, but (enough) people feel as though they have no choice but to vote Labour to keep Farage out. Just as with Corbyn, they'd much rather lose than lean left.

Eg the whole zombie apocalypse thing… The modern version of the genre presupposes that most of humanity is quickly killed, so the boring issue of resources is quickly dealt with due to a period of abundance - leaving room for cool, gun-toting lone wolves to be the heros.

I think this is a fairly common viewpoint, but it's kind of odd because "British" being slightly different from being English is an unusual quirk, isn't it? As far as I know there's nothing similar for being, say, French..?

Successive governments' complete disinterest in clipping the wings of our awful press has led to ordinary people genuinely fearing for their well-being in time of low crime and peace. It's been one pact with the devil after another. The current lot being arguably the most cowardly so far.

How to they know which cases are the most "severe" without a formal assessment? Giving support even without an assessment is the right thing to do, but this approach will ignore those who are quietly struggling. Basically making ADHD about disruptive boys only. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

My heart goes out to Rachel: she must be feeling she and her family are now strangers in her own village. But society has always been like this, except people were forced to keep their bigotry hidden. Now they’re seeing politicians and the media espousing the bigotry and hatred, and are emboldened.

You can't go expressing controversial opinions, however popular, and expect to be able to be a support act for Ed Sheeran. His whole thing is guaranteed blandness, just like Taylor Swift. His gigs are a safe space for simple, teenage feelings.

Subsequent British governments seem to be determined to destroy Britain's lingering international cultural capital. I can only assume the rich hate the idea of ordinary folk succeeding in the arts and will happily burn down the whole industry rather than give ground.

The climate debate is overly fixated on high-tech geological carbon storage. This obsession neglects the massive, immediate leverage we have in the bioeconomy and resource-efficient construction. Bio-based materials are NOT inferior carbon sinks.

Yeah, grifting is like a thing in its own right. It's a very versatile skillset, and if one scam stops paying you can just switch to something else - and your customers will mostly be fine with it, because by definition they didn't realise they were being scammed.

Wildfires, drought, record heat, the worst-ever arable harvest: we have seen just recently what ecosystem collapse looks like in the UK, and we know it will only get worse. The govt must treat this existential threat as the national security issue it is.
