Organisers of pro-Palestine marches fear ban on Saturday’s protest in London
  • Irrespective of one’s political views, this is a travesty and part of a long term campaign by the the tories (probably can add Labour to this too) to silence free speech.

    I have a friend who is very into the environment. She told me recently that she stopped getting involved because she feared arrest.

    Peaceful protest is being criminalized in this country. It’s so sad especially since protest doesn’t affect the governments ability to enact their policies (brexit, Iraq war etc)

    Demand to reverse Brexit hits ‘highest ever level’
  • “Sir”

    I am pro rejoin, but calling Keir sir in this statement is a bit too much unless you are being ironic. So you say dame priti also?

    Also funnily enough my phone suggested that Keith as autocorrect for keir :)

  • Very much doubt the final conclusion of this Adam Smith institute fellow. They state that the bottom 10% is equally rich in Sweden/Finland than the US. If true, then income is a very poor barometer of quality of life. Or that the Swedish poor don’t need to use as much of their income on housing, day care, education etc

    The conclusion is that Sweden make the rich poor. Which is not true as well, since while Sweden has income equality, it has a very poor wealth inequality. It’s just that the rich of Sweden decided (correctly) that there would be little backlash against them if they ensured for a more equal society instead of maximizing their income.

    Tl;dr this article could be largely true but the biases revealed at the end question the their conclusions and methodology to reach it

    Andrew Malkinson: Man who spent 17 years in jail for crime he didn't commit won't have to repay prison living costs
  • I can’t believe this is a thing the uk. I get it if the state does not want to pay reparations to this man (although they should) but this is another level. Glad it was decided correctly
