Obvs none of this discounts the possibility of new "speed cameras" being rolled out which don't just record speeding and are really mass surveillance devices. But, in that case, calling them "speed cameras" would be a lie to deceive the public (which is entirely plausible)

Provided all of the above is accurate... not such a big deal, right? Of course, the police separately have access to massive networks of CCTV & licence plate recognition cameras used for mass surveillance. So, speed cameras are pretty irrelevant in this context

Likely irrelevant but speed cameras in my country only store images when a car passes above the speed limit. These cameras are operated by the local authority / highway agency rather than the police. Only when a car is caught speeding is data sent onto the police for a ticket to be issued.

Spare a thought (or don't) for all the mainstream actors who lapped up and amplified the reactionary free speech crisis and now wake up (hopefully) to what was always obvious: reactionaries hate free speech, they just want full control of public discourse www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The most telling results here is the noticeably higher "Neither" answer for the Greens. A whole chunk of people who understand perfectly well the Greens stand for common people against the establishment, but refuse to admit it.

I don't feel sorry for Starmer. I feel for the Palestinians whose slaughter he enabled, for the trans people and refugees he's victimised, and my colleagues who've had their careers wrecked by Labour's assault on universities. A record to be ashamed of.

For many LGBT folk like me, and especially trans folk, Keir Starmer will be remembered in the same way as Margaret Thatcher: with deep contempt for having overseen a deeply hostile, queerphobic government, which rolled back human rights and set society back by at least a decade. Good riddance.

This Guardian headline is like saying an Olympic runner has had a great start to the 400 metres race by setting off at 100m pace...

"The initial match selections have been the key to ITV'S success in the opening week. BBC gambled in pre-tournament negotiations with ITV by opting to have more first-pick games in the knockout stages. It will have the first choice of fixtures in the last 32, last 16 and semi-finals, as well as England's second group game against Ghana on Tuesday."

Just so strange to be like, 'you know who I want to take to task right now? That bloody milquetoast liberal Owen Jones'. A guy who might as well be wearing a hat 24/7 that states: "I HATE STARMER AND HIS HORRIBLE RIGHT-WING LABOUR GOVERNMENT"

Owen's point is clearly that those actively inciting this violence may form the next government, which will only make these scenes worse, more frequent, and more widespread. That doesn't preclude blaming Starmer for pandering to the far-right and failing to act in the face of this pogrom.
