Having grown up in Wales, I can testify that if you are actually worried about your culture and history being under threat, the thing to do is write poetry and songs, perform plays, tell stories and organise festivals, not just sit around whining.

In 1719, a bill to "protect the protestant interest" was drawn up to strengthen the laws against Catholic priests, especially friars. The Irish Privy Council was the last stage before the bill went to the British Privy council. The Irish Privy Council added a castration clause.

Are shoppers paying a premium for 0% beer? While no/lo beer is 19% cheaper on the shelf, shoppers pay 7% more at the checkout. Our infographic explains why, and why it matters. New research led by @abi-stevely.bsky.social Read the full paper doi.org/10.1111/add.... #PublicHealth #AlcoholPolicy
Infographic titled "Are shoppers paying a premium for alcohol-free beer?" by SARG, published in Addiction. It shows that while no/lo beer is priced 19% cheaper on average than regular strength beer on the shelf, shoppers end up paying 7% more on average at the checkout. Reasons shown are Multipack Savings (53% of standard beer is in large multipacks saving ~30%, while no/lo is only in smaller packs saving 12%) and Premium Positioning (lack of budget or store-brand alternatives). Highlights impacts on Health Inequality, Value Perception, and Policy Options. Research led by Dr Abi Stevely for the NIHR-funded No/Lo Project. Full paper link: sarg-sheffield.ac.uk/stevely-nolo

We very much enjoyed @gardencourtlaw.bsky.social infographic explaining the rather convoluted efforts that the state has gone to to supress juries and persecute Rajiv Menon KC.
Infographic titled 'The Rajiv Menon KC Contempt Case: The Timeline.' Chronological timeline from August 2024 to July 2026. Key events: activists break into the Elbit Systems arms factory in Bristol (Aug 2024) and are charged; the trial judge rules the case involves terrorism and bars a 'lawful excuse' defence; Palestine Action is proscribed as a terrorist organisation (Jul 2025); Rajiv Menon KC delivers his closing speech for defendant Charlotte Head, invoking the principle of jury equity (Jan 2026); the judge finds Menon breached legal orders during that speech and refers him for contempt proceedings; the jury in the original trial fails to reach verdicts on several charges; a retrial convicts four defendants of criminal damage, with the judge ruling it an act of terrorism; the Court of Appeal twice rules in Menon's favour, finding the lower courts acted unlawfully in pursuing him; Menon lodges a second appeal; on 24 July 2026, the Court of Appeal stays his trial to allow that second appeal to be heard. Text at bottom: Rajiv Menon KC faces a maximum sentence of two years in prison. Includes a photo of Rajiv Menon.
