"Palestine protests are treated differently in Britain to all other forms of activism. Direct action is regarded as terrorism and words on a placard are rendered illegal. Over the years weโve delivered banners, put up billboards and done guerilla projections across the country, but the only time our equipment has been seized and destroyed was when it related to Palestine.โ

The campaign group Led By Donkeys has received ยฃ27,000 in compensation after a giant banner it displayed in Parliament Square saying โYes Itโs A Genocideโ was seized by Greater London Authority officials and destroyed.

The use of AI in UK asylum decision-making is a disaster.
AI hallucinated a document that led to an asylum application being denied.
Applicants aren't being informed that opaque AI tools are being used in their case, nor being given the opportunity to correct errors churned out by these opaque tools.

What is going on at the Times?
They have a main headline attacking net zero over a photo of the French wildfires arguably caused by climate change?
Are the editors stupid?
Do they think their readers are?
Are they trying to subvert their own message?
