Let's compare Sweden to Norway, and throw Denmark in for good measure. If the other Scandinavian countries can be said to have "saved lives" by abandoning civil liberties, all that means is that they postponed their death spikes by 2 years. Data from mortality.org

This all seems to be a ploy to link IP addresses and online activity directly to an identifiable person to make them easier to catch and track down. The government falsely assumed that everyone watches porn and they thought they would get everyone that way. It obviously did not work as well as they were hoping so they are now expanding it. (I have always said that initial laws are just a foot in the door, those laws will always be expanding after the fact into their true original intended purpose). So their plan now is if you want to use any social media or much of the internet in any way, you will need to prove that you are over 18 which means submitting an ID. This will require far far more ID submissions which will massively expand the government database, which was the real plan all along, not the safety of children. The funniest thing about this is after all the fuss about the Online Safety Act, this blanket ban on kids using social media pretty much renders the entire act pointless and made it a giant waste of time. Which to be honest, proves that the act was never about protecting children but was really about building a giant database that links all online activity directly to a person. This database would then be constantly poured over by AI to flag "citizens of concern" to the government who may be potential political dissidents, saying naughty anti-government things etc so the government can pre-emptively act against them. Minority Report. This is literally the plot of Minority Report.

Commentator: I think Japan thinks they're taller than they really are, because whenever they get a corner kick, they kick it high and the Dutch, who are taller obviously headbutt it away *2 minutes later* Japan shoots another corner kick, teammate jumps and actually headbutts it into the net Equalizing the score (2-2) Commentator: I owe an apology to Japan

I always think the best approach, when a shadowy government agency is telling you what to say, would be to pretend to go along with it so they don’t keep you away from press, then when you’re on the steps with all the journalists, go off script and tell the truth.

🚨NEW: A Daily Mail investigation claims a "shadowy" government unit, named RICU, intervenes to write statements by the families of victims of potentially racially linked incidents to stop them from inflaming tensions further with their remarks [@DailyMail]

What has Elon Musk taken from you? So ask many including Andrew Neil. Here's the answer: He has taken our peace of mind. He has purposefully pushed us apart, divided us further and profited from our loss of community. And that is hard to ever forgive.

In America we’re used to sports being a big business. But these soccer players man, no sponsorships, no money, just out there playing their hearts out for the love of the game.

It means the end of the middle class. And, as a consequence, majoritarian democracy. In a sensible media landscape that’s a *centre right* argument.

Your car is German. Your pizza is Italian. Your democracy is Greek. Your coffee is Brazilian. Your movies American. Your shirt is Indian. Your electronic Chinese. Your numbers Arabic. Your letters are Latin. And you complain your neighbor is an immigrant! Pull yourself together.

The thing about the loyalists is they absolutely embrace being the Bad Guys. Something even mainland Britons don’t seem to quite understand about them.

Caroline Lucas: "We need to recognise that what happened on the streets of Belfast was being orchestrated by the far right, by Elon Musk, by a network of people who actually want this to happen, so it wasn't quite as spontaneous as it looked.. and that has to be stopped"

The story behind the week of riots from Southampton to Belfast is a foreign influence story. The fingerprints of Russian interference are unmistakeable. Story dropping soon.

He has multiple grounds for an appeal. He had an all white jury in a racially charged case. The district attorney removed potential Black jurors during jury selection without strong, race neutral reasoning, which is called a "Batson Violation". The judge had errors in his instructions to the jury on what self defense is.

I’ve always thought this was going to happen, this WASPI stuff is the Labour ‘break glass in case of electoral emergency’ option. Funny that he’s doing it to be PM and not fight a general
Lucy Fisher@LOS_Fisher

NEW: Andy Burnham has hinted at a new multibillion-pound spending commitment if he becomes PM, saying that more than 3.5mn women “deserve” compensation over what he regards as a pension scandal Earlier I attended a Makerfield hustings event hosted by @MENnewsdesk, in which Burnham said: “I stick by campaigners that I support. I stuck by the Hillsborough families, I’ll stick by the Waspi women because they deserve some recompense for the unfairness.” Stressing he wouldn’t ditch his longterm support for Waspi women, he said he felt “uncomfortable” that some politicians threw their support behind a cause but then went into government and “didn’t do anything” ft.com/content/1021ae…

Given the prevalence of the belief that statements like this are authored by some government unit, I think any journalists that end up interviewing the families of victims need to start asking them if they were approached. Put this thing to bed one way or another

🚨 NEW: The family of the Belfast attempted beheading victim has called for calm "We have many migrants who make a deeply valuable contribution to our country. We depend on them to make our country work. We do not want this terrible tragedy to be used to divide people"
