Police routinely insist they don't authorise protests (although they restrict them on dubious grounds all the time) and that they do not take sides or pass judgement on a cause people are protesting about. Yet that's exactly what the Met is trying to do here www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The BBC does genuinely seem to be trying to save money where it can; they scrapped an undercover investigation where Amol Rajan went out clubbing with a view to exposing the easy access to poppers because they didn't want to pay for the Amol night rate

Just realised something: I’m reading articles right now about how energy & utility companies across Europe & America are saying “We have to build exponentially more energy capacity to accommodate the demands of AI infrastructure” At the same time these AI companies - show no feasible way of paying?

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.

It's called film "footage" because camera operators initially held the cameras with their feet. That changed after a film shoot in 1931, when an operator got a foot cramp and was forced to hold the camera in his hands. The "footage" he got that day was extraordinary. That man's name? Hans Cameraman.

Important piece and I would add that this has been our experience in Bristol as well. Time & time again Bristol has shown we don't want fascists on our streets & intimidating refugees. Cops however seem determined to use batons, boots, horses & pava spray to force marches where they are not welcome

If you are now arguing that "Patriot Platform should be banned like Palestine Action was banned", please remember... Palestine Action should not have been banned. And demanding the state bans more groups helps validate the idea it acts benignly, or that "terrorism" has any real meaning anymore

Likely to become even more raw as more people realise that a change only affecting people in England and Wales was defeated by MPs from Scotland and Northern Ireland! If it had only been voted on by MPs whose constituents were affected, it would have passed.
