There cannot be any doubt that racism lay at the heart of this story. Self-regulation of the press has comprehensively failed, and these are the consequences. We cannot stand still and wait for it to happen again. Add your name: goodlawproject.org/s/abb8a1

Just heard on local news, BBC Cumbria. No offence recorded as an HGV drove towards pro Palestinian protesters blockading a factory making parts for F35s. A policeman was seen waving the driver on towards the entrance. No misconduct. Couldn't find confirmation. If anybody can, I would appreciate

BBC local radio are doing a long bit bemoaning the impact of the £0.50 increase in minimum wage on businesses. They do mention, almost in passing, the other increases in costs for businesses but the focus is on the minimum wage increase. For a standard full time job, it's worth £18.75 per week.

Despite using an AI blocker extension google search started serving up AI slop again so I switched to DuckDuckGo and send feedback to Google saying I would not be using Google search again until they stop using AI. If you stop using google search because of the AI, do let them know.

Amazing coincidences with Facebook lately. I bought a vinyl album - first I've bought for years. Facebook started recommending vinyl sales pages. I looked up how to properly set up my new sub woofer. Facebook started recommending Audio equipment and setup pages. Such coincidences.

BBC Good Food website just asked me to pay to remove adds using something called "contentpass", apparently a German thing. WTF BBC? Went somewhere else. Plenty of recipe sites that don't ask you to pay to remove adds.

And you'd be amazed what's in mostly-forgotten tunnels beneath France. When I was down there with some RE, a few De Beers peeps were with us (don't ask). They asked what to do if they kicked a live shell. ROYAL ENGINEER: Jump 50ft up. Burst through the surface. Scatter yourself over about 20 yards
