Text from Leaflet of the White Rose no. 3 (1942): "... why do you allow these men in power to rob you step by step, openly and in secret, of one domain of your rights after another, until one day nothing, nothing at all will be left but a mechanised State system presided over by criminals and drunkards? Is your spirit already so crushed by abuse that you forget it is your right – or rather, your moral duty – to abolish this system?"

AI: The New Aesthetics of Fascism It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

"For its right wing adherents, the absence of humans is a feature, not a bug, of AI art."

Get Bishops out of the Lords Bishops’ automatic seats in the House of Lords are undemocratic and a threat to a tolerant and diverse UK – get them out now! The UK is alone among democratic sovereign states in having clerics vote o...

The year is 2024 and yet the UK still has 26 appointed Anglican bishops and archbishops pontificating in Parliament and voting on secular laws that affect the whole of society.

Add your name: Get the bishops out of the House of Lords.

That's kind of you - thanks (mum was 29 years ago ... seems a lifetime!). Watching my Dad go through end of life now - huge conspiracy theorist - has always believed medical profession is out to kill him, now very angry at the medication he has to take but can't deny is actually keeping him alive.

My mum died from cancer - started out with regular treatment then went alternative. My step-dad died from cancer - alternative all the way, a lot of money sent to charlatans, had a very painful demise which was awful to watch. Another friend said "I don't do doctors" - a year later dead from cancer.

A festive two tile comic strip illustrating the difference between misinformation and disinformation. 

Tile A: Disinformation. 
Scene: Christmas morning in the living room. A child looking at wrapped Christmas present which seems to have the outline of a bicycle. Parents stood in the background are telling the child "It's from Santa Claus!".

Tile B: Misinformation
Scene: Later that day, the child is riding his new bike outside. While passing his three friends standing on the sidewalk, he shouts "It's from Santa Claus!".
