Today, #r4Today platformed the detestable Robert Jenrick in whipping up hatred based on spurious stats which weren’t challenged.
As he is obsessed with the incidence of sexual offences he might like to look at Westminster, where it’s highest per 1,000 London people

Seriously, what’s the point of #Radio4Today They are #Quisling ‘client journalist’ purveyors of lies, half-truths, disinformation, misinformation & #CorporateState propaganda! I’ve tuned them out, switched them off! I’m done with their smug, entitled #WhitePrivilege #Zionist-aligned #EchoChamber!
Regime change in Iran is far harder than many assume. But if the Islamic Republic were to fall, the country already possesses the needed institutional scaffolding for democracy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/28/world/iran-is-prepared-for-democracy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #iran #elections #democracy
@thejapantimes
I find this article to be a bit disingenuous! It assumes that those pushing for regime change in #Iran ( #US, the #Zionist entity, #UK, #EU) are *actually* interested in it being a democracy! The list of countries where US #Empire has #overturned democratically elected governments is *legion*! They don’t care if the incoming regime is a dictatorship; they only want obeisance to the Imperium!

Are there any places in #London #UK that offer drop-in child minding, either as a standalone service or as part of a museum/science centre/cafe visit? I'm thinking something like at Ikea, or the Pavillion of Knowledge in Lisbon (at least when we visited in 2019, there was a staffed children's play area that allowed us a bit of a break). We could really use a few hours of child-free time on this extended #holiday. #travel #parenting

“#MassiveAttack, #Kneecap and others form musician alliance against 'silencing' by pro-Israel groups”
by Shafik Mandhai in Middle East Eye
“Acts including Kneecap, #BrianEno, and #Garbage have signed up for the group, which was announced on the back of a documentary by campaign group Led By Donkeys about the work of a pro-Israel group that is silencing activism on the situation in Palestine”

Any other UK business people and FOSS lovers seen the HMRC changes coming to how business taxes are filed?
> From 1 April 2027, all companies will need to file their annual accounts using commercial software. This means we'll be closing our web and paper-based systems for account filings on that date.
At a quick glance the lists of commercial software contains NO open source/libre options. Looks like a win for proprietary.

The #OnlineSafetyAct has been disastrous for small UK online communities and indepdent producers of adult content. If you’re in the #UK and want a web that’s not just for those companies big enough to afford verification services, please sign this petition against the act’s ridiculous overreach and hopefully persuade the government to rethink things. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903
