The government's banning of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was UNLAWFUL, rules the High Court.
This is a massive vindication for those who fought Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people - which is facilitated by our government.

Dozens of Labour MPS threaten rebellion over Mahmood migration crackdown Under new rules, migrants would have to wait at least 10 years to apply for indefinite leave to remain
Labour's changes to immigration rules, including potentially applying them retroactively, would be some of the most draconian anti-immigration policies in decades. They're the hostile environment on speed.

Your posts were one of the things I bothered looking at; by moving away, you make it easier for me to do the same. I already downloaded my videos, but I need to do the same with my photos. Thanks for the reminder. And thanks for reconnecting again here.

Victor Davis Hanson's "'DEI is dying' thesis relies on a tired caricature: that diversity, equity, and inclusion is nothing more than racial bean-counting, ancestry audits, and grievance quotas. Thatβs a straw man, built to be burned."

Just in case anyone wants to DM me, donβt. Iβm not going to risk my private data by sending it to @bsky.app. Iβd advise everyone else in the U.K. to do the same.
