Coming down harder than ever on the side of 'if you interview with the times or the telegraph and people misinterpret the headline, you deserve a public furore' than ever. Like read more about the proclaimers on THE TIMES website to give nuance to their response to the pro fascist newspaper on

Finished s1 of reacher. I've read a few of the books and loved the cruise movie but what the show does well is realize how to depict arkham asylum's Remarking Batman

When I see headlines like this I think about how the state is already enforcing anti-vandalism rules under the guise of terrorism. And then I think about the (at this point ancient) warnings about conflict over water. And then I think about how the two options for the future are probs:

According to the FT, Orr is acting as a live-in-landlord-cum-cult-leader to Cambridge students including those under his own supervision, whilst receiving formal complaints about his behaviour, and boasting publicly how the university is a recruiting ground for the party he might be doing crime for

in North Cambridge, and a daughter. The
outbuildings and at least two other flats on the same road, which are owned by the family,
are home to a select group of postgraduate students from a range of faculties including
divinity. In a podcast interview in December 2024, Orr described having “10 students living
with us. They’re mainly PhD students or postdoctoral fellows.” He explained that they
always gather for Sunday lunch and often for dinner. “That’s amazingly stimulating,” he
said. “They’re . . . the cream of their generation in their respective subjects.”
The residents pay rent and do chores. Helen has fashioned a small chapel from a shipping
container, in which she holds morning prayers.The housing of students raises potential conflicts of interest. Over the past academic year, there were three divinity scholars lodging at the Orrs’ community, according to several
people familiar with the living arrangements. One is a postgraduate student who is directly
supervised by Orr. Cambridge’s staff and student relationship policy stipulated that its
employees are “strongly discouraged” from entering into close personal relationships with
students. Any relationship which involves “any form of dependence, whether emotional,
practical, financial or otherwise”, must be declared.Among the complaints upheld by the investigator are that Orr allegedly made belittling
remarks to the student, and had demanded an “excessive” and “unreasonable” amount of
written work in an effort to refine a thesis proposal. The report also criticised “at worst
inappropriate and at best thoughtless comments made [by Orr] in the equally
inappropriate context of [Orr’s] own home”. This was in reference to a dinner that the
student, who comes from a Christian, conservative background, had attended at Orr’s
house.While the society was established long before Orr had any formal role in Reform, it has
taken on new significance as his political activities gathered pace. Orr has described
Cambridge as a useful recruiting ground for Reform, boasting last autumn in an interview
with The Telegraph that he had met “hundreds” of highly able students he thought would
make suitable allies. He has also, according to The Spectator magazine, been tasked by the
party with “building a pipeline” to bring talent to staff a future Reform administration.

So, JL PartnersP, a pollster frequently used by the anti-trans hate group Sex Matters, is implicated in the Reform scandal. No one would really be surprised that the British public is much more trans-inclusive than their fake polls may portray.

Do you know how hard it is to be an extreme morning person while ur beautiful girlfriend loves to sleep in? Do you know what that kind of isolation for an hour or so in the morning does to the human mind?

Call me crazy but the graphic of the reform donations should also seriously bother u with the sheer amount of money labour received. I don't think those are small donations getting labour and the tories to 10-12M overnight

It's time to put the brakes on data centres. Here's how: ❌ End the blanket 'critical infrastructure' designation. 💧 Highest environmental and community standards for all new data centres. 📋 Create a comprehensive national strategy.

The fact that so many artists are surprise dropping like. Multiple albums at once is freaking me out like is there a secret society of alternative and popular musicians from 2016 who are aware of an impending apocalypse or whats going on???
