The landlord took great pleasure of saying how much he hated queers and that he didn't want me near his children as he sacked me They were babies at the time That still hurts me now It lead to a long bout of depression which again I still haven't quite got over

Kemi Badenoch condemned Reform's ban on critical journalists covering their conference as "authoritarian", saying her own party would never do the same as "we believe in free speech. We believe in a free press." Now the Conservatives have banned Byline Times from their conference

Just tax the compute. Datacentre? Cool. Fund your own power generation and water reservoirs, and then pay tax for every computational act your datacentre does. And we'll use the tax income to offset societal and job damage. Overnight, AI becomes something AI giants are desperate to restrict.

Richest 1% of Britons owns more wealth than the bottom 70% of the population combined. 50 richest families hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population combined. The concentration of wealth in fewer hands has not provided the necessary economic stimulus. Need redistribution.

The lesbian couple in the BBC thriller series Vigil consists of DCI Amy Silva, played by Suranne Jones, and DI Kirsten Longacre, portrayed by Rose Leslie.
