This is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire, Donna Jones commenting on 2024 riots. How deep is this attitude within the police force?

as so often, Terry Pratchett had it nailed.

In the midst of so much awful today, something positive. Small Prophets was an absolute joy of a show.

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)

Truly wild to have lived through moral panics about teenagers wearing hoodies and Muslim women wearing the head dress to now experience 'but is a large group of organised far right activists in balaclavas really that scary'

What a ridiculous question. Once again the BBC drives a nail into it's own coffin.

It won’t stop these reprehensible, cowardly pieces of shit attacking the RNLI, but here is a handy link to donate rnli.org/support-us/g...

Over on X, the far-right British Patriots have launched a hate campaign against the RNLI They are recording RNLI volunteers in order to dox them, reveal their identities and publish details of where they and their families live These men are dangerous

At what point does ‘the masked men on the street have legitimate concerns’ and ‘Just Stop Oil/Palestine Action are terrorists’ become two tier policing?

"It is hard not to draw the conclusion that the police and Home Office seem to be incapable of an appropriate response to the threat of far-right activity and violence."

Did Kent Police ignore a 999 call?

Contrary to their public statement, HOPE not hate can exclusively reveal that Kent Police were tipped off about the Patriot Platform mobilisation – and seemingly did not act on the information.

Activists who brought Dover to a halt on Saturday refused to remove their balaclavas but were ‘very polite’, say fellow travellers

Nope. “developers who'd be forced to individually contact each rights holder for permission, paying out potentially billions for copyrighted works would be prohibitively costly” As it should be. Each of those works was *work.* Stop whining and either pay writers or change your model.

Electronic Frontier Foundation@eff.org · 4d ago

Training AI models on copyrighted works is "squarely what transformative use is," EFF’s Tori Noble told @reason.com - these are "general purpose tools" and "exactly the kind of creation that copyright is designed to foster."

Let’s just imagine for a few moments that they were Asian, Black, Middle Eastern who turned up and effectively blockaded Dover Port.. Now imagine MSM outrage, the inflammatory headlines and rhetoric, the Tories, Reform etc. The “pure cold rage” It’s two tier reporting as well as policing

Steve Peers@stevepeers.bsky.social · 3d ago

Kent police said 'no arrests were made' of the people who blocked a port and roads. There's your two-tier policing, folks www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

The fact that this grinning bastard has been treated seriously for the past 30 years says a great deal about us as a country, and the corruption of our media.

Now James Orr has stepped down as Reform UK's Head of Policy after C4's report, questions remain for Cambridge – where he is Associate Professor. Byline Times revealed serious concerns about his activities there months ago. We all know there won't now be 200+ articles on him and his life don't we?

Remember: it could be someone you know.

I felt this in my very soul. Excellent as ever.

Rough Draft vs Final Draft

A friend refers to the "a pedestrian was struck by a car" construction as the "exonerative" tense, and that shall be its name henceforth and hereafter.

The utter hypocrisy of Kemi Badenoch here, after banning myself and the late great David Hencke from Conservative Party conference last year. Needless to say my application to attend this year on behalf of Byline Times has still not been approved

Pollution levels in London after 10 years of advancing sustainable transport.

Whoever decided to promote Coyote vs Acme by letting Wile E do an AMA using only signs deserves all the praise.

You have to choose. You can't be nice to everyone. Appeasing corporations and billionaires means abandoning everyone else. When it comes to policy, it's us or them. And for far too long political leaders in this country have sided with them. If Burnham is to survive, this is what he needs to change.

Reform are furious about LGBT books invading Warwick libraries. Reform leader George Finch said he was acting on “a number” of complaints from local people. So Labour MP Rachel Taylor asked the council for the actual figures. There have been zero complaints. via Reform Are Not Your Friends
