The "RAF" Fairford story gets more and more ridiculous day by day, UK media struggle with complexity already and this is turning their brains to gravy.

As the reflectivity (albedo) of Earth continues to set new record lows, more of the incoming solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth system, increasing the amount of energy available to heat the oceans, atmosphere, and land, and to melt ice.

Israel isn't for all Jews. Atara feels at home there though, and this American thinks it's altruism to kill Palestinians and Muslims.

there needs to be a wide-ranging investigation into the role of highly-paid consultants siphoning off vast quantities of cash from UK universities, and their role as silent partners in the radical reshaping of UK institutions that is taking place right now

It's no surprise that an inherently racist country such as the UK behaves the way the establishment are right now when the racism is pointed out to them by a political party. They would have murdered Corbyn given half a chance, just to protect their beliefs.

I think part of the liberal outrage is that it doesn't put non-Palestinian voices, specifically the other side, front and centre on the question of Palestine. From British empire one, it's been considered the right of the coloniser to decide the terms of decolonisation.

It’s so funny to imagine what the UK could be like if it took seriously any of its cultural icons—that aren’t wizards, Shakespeare, or in possession of good fortune but in want of a wife. We could have Tyranid statues at Heathrow. Perhaps a grisly frieze depicting Servitor conversion at Gatwick.
