I did read the article thanks. It's clearly an excuse to make the races shorter - it'll never be reversed.

Lots of talk of growth ahead of the Budget, as if it were a baroque puzzle. Our problem is basic. It's that we no longer support the things which facilitate growth: Europe, immigration, higher education, tax simplification, policy stability. These are all choices and could stop making them anytime.

Astonishing to hear people say they'd rather asylum seekers drowned than be saved by the RNLI. Next comes letting people die in burning hostels rather than be saved by the fire brigade and letting people get kicked to death in the street rather than be saved by the Police. Don't platform this hate.

I know this isn't terrorism. You know this isn't terrorism. The authorities know this isn't terrorism. But, once again, they have labelled protesters "terrorists", as part of the long-running programme to ensure that no one dares protest about anything any more. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

If you're a fan of the internet, read this whole thread. It sums up the situation perfectly. Do Google & the rest really help you vacuum the stairs? The internet isn't real life for most of us in daily tasks, nor will it ever be. (I made my own bed this morning without the internet)...

The loudest voices online aren't always the most accurate. New data shows our homicide rate is lower than every US state, while murder rates are at record lows. The evidence is clear: our approach to tackling crime and its causes works. It’s driving down violence right across the capital.
