The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage this week of Kemi Badenoch, whose party has a truly atrocious electoral record under her leadership, and the utterly dismissive coverage of the Greens, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK

The dismissive coverage of Zack Polanski’s party obscures a far bigger truth about the rise of the left in British politics

And will never think Labour have done enough because they are racist. And there will always be someone more racist that they can vote for.

Anonymous sources are bad, says an anonymous source.

Greens do 'things differently', says source over former deputy's criticism
A Green Party source has responded to earlier comments from Caroline Lucas on the party's motion at its conference over the weekend.
They say: "There are ups and downs in politics and when people are passionate they disagree in the heat of a campaign."
The source adds: "We do things differently, unlike Labour who use anonymous sources and resort to factionalism."

Yes, where "society" is the "leaders" rather than the bulk of society. I think a lot of people faced pretty clear racism in society. But there was obviously a case that they were given the impression it was wrong by "taste makers".

If you really want to understand the issue, think about what happens on a loop when you have no "off ramp" and there is a problem. One problem destroys the whole service for the day as you can't alter much. When London Transport had international consultancy, they always said no loops.

SNAC for this means using the real PS1 controller. There are other adaptors for other controllers and I know you will have other controllers too! It is effectively zero latency.

You can admire. The way he managed the squad and was able to rotate highly expensive parts in and out was unrelated to the funding he received. Also, the way he could always get rid of players whenever he wanted was also entirely unaffected by the riches of the club. I admire the chutzpah.

I guess the fans and the club employees just had no way of knowing this was happening. City fans turned up in League Two. And they love talking about how they are not glory hunters, so this is a wonderful opportunity for the fans. And for the players to show it wasn't about the money.
