“The UK’s national security is under severe threat from the climate crisis and the looming collapse of vital natural ecosystems, with food shortages and economic disaster potentially just years away, a powerful report by the UK’s intelligence chiefs is due to warn”
So naturally, its launch has been delayed and it seems likely it will be buried, never to see the light of day

A Pentagon review of the AUKUS pact is a "brass-tack” evaluation of its affordability and whether the agreement fits with President Donald Trump’s foreign-policy priorities, a Defense Department nominee has said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/08/asia-pacific/politics/pentagon-review-aukus-nominee/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #usmilitary #aukus #defense #us #uk #australia #congress #submarines
Communities in #Birmingham UK have developed methods for responding the recent epidemic of far right activists hanging British and St George flags high up on flagpoles to embolden racists organising and intimidate minorities.
- For every flag spotted, the community is donating £5 to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. They have already raised £1,533 and rising.
https://www.gofundme.com/f/flags-for-gaza
- Using a 10m telescopic pole wrapped in double sided carpet tape to twist the flag in and pull it down.
Please spread the word. Hate and intimidation is not tolerated.

#WritersCoffeeClub - 6 Oct. What size casts do you tend towards? Why?
I prefer in-depth characterization, which militates against having a cast of thousands—unless I'm writing a large multibook series (like the Merchant Princes or Laundry Files).
Large casts are easier to portray if you have a contemporary/historical setting that doesn't require lots of worldbuilding. (In SF/F, the world is a character.) There's a reason why big cast far future SF usually has thin characterisation.
In a move criticized by rights groups, U.K. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will give police new powers to place limits on repeated protests, after weeks of demonstrations have strained law enforcement. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/06/world/uk-limits-protests-synagogue-attack/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #uk #terrorism #censorship #religion #israel #israelhamaswar
The #UK regime is now having police restrict protests based on "cumulative impact" because nothing says democracy like preemptively silencing dissent.
With nearly 500 peaceful protesters arrested for holding signs, these new powers feel less like public safety and more like the tactical playbook of historical enforcers who weaponized "public order" to crush opposition.
When holding a placard becomes a police matter, the thin blue line starts looking distinctly brown.
Never in a million years would I have imagined that it would be a #Labour government that would turn the #UK into a full-on 1984 state where the #righttoprotest would be stripped and #Newspeak would be so out of hand in the oligarchist and state #media that #antisemitism would be used to label #Jews who demonstrate against #genocide.
That being said, I'd known that #KeirStarmer was a danger from his #Corbyn backstabbing days and I refused to vote his party in.

Crazy scenes at Trafalgar Square.
People getting carried off by police for sitting on the floor, in silence, holding signs saying that genocide is wrong.
The sheer cost of the police action today will be astounding. Regardless of whether people feel passionate about #Gaza, everyone would agree: what an absolute waste of public resources.
Awful day for free speech in the UK

Since the conflict between Israel and Hamas flared anew two years ago, U.K. security officials have braced for the bloodshed to spread into local streets. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/04/world/politics/uk-terrorism-threat-gaza-war/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #manchester #uk #religion #judaism #terrorism #stabbings #discrimination
