Neighbourhood Facebook group here has been winding each other up over HMOs for years now. Not as racialised, but an out-group nonetheless among comfortable white folk. Can see how fash elsewhere would latch onto this as an “issue”.

Fascinating to witness countries like UK that have long lectured us colonised folk on free speech die on this hill! Sally Rooney’s principled stance should shame many writers on these isles. Brava! www.thebookseller.com/news/faber-t...

Are we going to witness a rare intervention on a UK culture issue from Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy? Will she have to pretend she's ever read a book or has even the slightest interest in the culture sector? Stay tuned

Not very good situation when it's effectively illegal to sell the books of popular contemporary author Sally Rooney in the country where you live is it. We might say that's quite an absurd situation in fact. A very dark and troubling scenario that is equally extremely silly

A corrections officer, who asked to remain anonymous, said he heard the eventual weapon would likely be placed on a stand and “operated by a computer to release a firing pattern.”

“It’s kind of like Call of Duty,” the officer added.

Ah yes, perhaps the most beloved literary trope of all: the classic McMuffin
A screenshot that reads: Moore throws in a Hitchcock-style McMuffin in the shape of a secret tape recording which will reveal just who has been betraying the gangsters.
The problem is that no-one has a machine on which to play it.

Removing the automatic right to appeal is I think the most dangerous part of these proposals. The power of the state to imprison someone for two years is a very serious one, and it demands substantial checks and limits.

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

Fascism is also about the pleasure of seeing unwanted bodies mutilated, tortured, killed. This has nothing to do with Hasan's crimes. It has to do with bringing back public lynchings. They're signaling to their base that they can now rejoice in the the death of undesirables.
