To think there are still people out there talking about "targeted strikes" and "minimising civilian casualties". This is no different to what Russia has done in Eastern Ukraine.

This is your semi-regular reminder that pensioner poverty: a) is real b) is significantly less prevalent than working-age poverty and half the rate of child poverty, and c) is such that a pensioner is statistically more likely to live in a household worth over £1 million than to live in poverty

For years we've heard that Biden created a "Ministry of Truth," which didn't actually happen. But, I still hear people talking about it. But then Trump directed his FCC boss to be a literal Minister of Truth and the story disappeared within a day or two. What are we even doing here?

Once you learn that not a single major US news outlet used the phrase "Hamas-ran health ministry" until after 10.17.23 you really start to see how pernicious this stuff is. Nobody really disputed that the GHM was accurate, even Israel admitted so, but that didn't matter. Anyway now it is spreading

Always funny when ostensible liberals are like "You see, this postcolonial conflict is actually very nuanced and complex, because what makes it so very unique is that the majority ethnic group doesn't want to share power with the minority ethnic groups." Oh wow, I didn't know that, that's wild man.

It ought to be pretty easy to say that many of the big ideas that came to define Thatcherism (rather than the ideas on which Thatcher got elected) are no longer relevant. We don't have over strong TUs, we have an independent Bank to fight inflation and there was never any need to destroy

Absolutely mesmerising. Worth 7 minutes of anybody’s time, even if you don’t remember the winter of 1963, or BR at the end of the Steam Age, even before Beeching. What’s so striking about this is that it’s pure modernism. .

It’s striking that so many otherwise smart people aren’t willing to argue for enlightenment: fears about immigration are unfounded. Available evidence, e.g. re crime, education, jobs, healthcare suggests that concerns about immigrants are, by and large, not legitimate concerns but irrational fears.

This is a low key tragedy. A broad consensus torched by a handful of ideologues and opportunists who do not even understand what net zero target is and why it was adopted. The reality is temperatures will continue to spiral until we reach net zero or civilisation collapses, whichever comes first.

Will keep boringly saying this (no disrespect to OP): it's not a health surcharge. It's not hypothecated to the NHS; you can't choose not to pay it and thereby eschew healthcare. You could equally call it an education or roads surcharge. It's using the NHS's sanctified status to rip off immigrants.
