DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

DoorDash messed up. They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty. That's unacceptable. We've secured a $131.5M settlement from DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in American municipal history. Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

This man Nochi Mendel is the War Criminal who murdered the Aid Workers and yesterday he said he was "Not sorry" for ordering their killing even though it was a War Crime. If he was from any other country than Israel he would find a bomb falling on his head.

Remember, an election is upon us and the tech oligarchs have weaponized their AIs for information warfare. They have automated their attack on democracy. The bot flood is a psyop to make it look like Trump has more support than he really has, to intimidate you into not voting.

The court found it a matter of opinion to call Mr Laurence Fox a racist, on basis of his declaring a boycott of Sainsbury's supermarket (Fox called its support of Black History Month racist!). It was an allegation of fact for Mr Fox to call those doing so paedophiles: it was defamatory in 2 cases

Court of Appeal’s decision At first instance, the Judge found that Blake’s and Seymour’s tweets were statements of opinion because each had quoted Fox’s tweet and thus would appear to the ordinary reasonable reader that they made a comment that Fox is a racist based on Fox’s tweet. Whilst Thorp’s tweet did not quote Fox’s tweet, the Judge still considered it to be a forceful expression of her opinion but not an allegation of fact. However, since Thorp did not set out the basis of her opinion, she failed to establish the defence of honest opinion. As for the tweets posted by Laurence Fox which stated that Blake, Seymour and Thorp are paedophiles, the Judge found them to be allegations of fact and thus amounted to defamation. The Court of Appeal affirmed the Judge’s decision. Blake’s and Seymour’s tweets clearly set out the facts on which they based their opinion by quoting Fox’s tweet. The context of these tweets clearly indicated that they were comments on Fox’s behaviour. In relation to Fox’s tweets accusing others of being a “paedophile”, the Court of Appeal considered Fox’s lack of reference to any basis for his tweets significant. The “paedophile” tweets followed immediately after tweets by Blake and Seymour with no other tweets quoted or referred to. The Court of Appeal did not accept that the ordinary reasonable reader would obviously understand Fox’s complex rhetorical point that he was no more a racist than they were paedophiles. However, the Court of Appeal treated Fox’s response to Thorp’s tweet differently. Fox, in his tweet, adopted the precise wording of Thorp’s tweet and simply substituted “paedophile” for “racist” which would be obvious to the ordinary reasonable reader that Fox intended to mimic Thorp’s tweet and did not intend to use the word “paedophile” to accuse Thorp of being a paedophile. It was in this sense that Fox’s tweet was a rhetorical way of expressing his objection to Thorp and therefore did not constitute defamation.

Mr Thomas may well find a way to crowd-raise further funds for exploring the legal action, perhaps without ever bringing the case substantively. He did not persuade the Daily Mail to buy his Mum a house within his 48 hour ultimatum - but 3,375 of his supporters sent £68,486

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

I really would like Andy Burnham to say “people like Jim Ratcliffe do not get to comment on the state of the UK when they live in Monaco when they contribute no tax to this country” But he won’t: so I will

How is this news? billionaire oil person says uk needs to drill more and tax less, though, of course, he‘s actually in Monaco. And he would do more in the uk if the state subsidised him more. Dear BBC, that‘s like me saying the uk‘s problem is underpaid law profs. www.bbc.com/news/article...
