Patriot Platform assumes that people coming on the boats are not refugees. That's really unkind I have to say. The majority of the people claiming asylum are granted it. So they are refugees. How would Danny Tommo feel if the roles were reversed?

In America you can get arrested for giving water to people waiting in line to vote but the president is offering you $5k to vote for his party. - Too old for this shit

Perhaps the media should stop calling them asylum seekers and call them potential refugees. Or, give them the benefit of the doubt (innocent until proven guilty) and call them refugees. Humans that travel huge distances to find a safe country deserve that. Seekers implies they may not qualify.

There are places in the world today experiencing 40 C for the first time in recorded history. Of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but I feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try.

Indeed! All the reporting is about the Golders Green stabbing but the person stabbed a Muslim in S London earlier. Should the Muslim community also get police protection?

It seems the key issue in the Mandelson vetting malarky is that Starmer appointed him USA ambassador in advance of receiving the results of the vetting. Isn't it the case that Mandelson had been in government many times before and that the likelihood of him failing vetting was rather low?

It’d be a shame if this picture of @barackobama.bsky.social receiving the Nobel Peace Prize went viral for no particular reason. 😇
Pic of Obama receiving the Nobel peace prize with text: "Let us live by their example. We can acknowledge that oppression will always be with us, and still strive for justice. We can admit the intractability of deprivation, and still strive for dignity. We can understand that there will be war, and still strive for peace. We can do that - for that is the story of human progress; that is the hope of all the world; and at this moment of challenge, that must be our work here on Earth."
