"Some in Britain blame rotten luck—the 2008 financial crash, the coronavirus pandemic, an energy crisis after Russia invaded Ukraine. But other countries endured these challenges too. What differentiated Britain was its self-sabotaging responses to these and other problems." theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

How Britain Became as Poor as Mississippi

A case study in self-sabotage

To be honest, I didn't think that white supremacist race riots would become something of a regular occurrence in the #UnitedKingdom but this has to be stopped.

Every time a slap on the wrist and half-arsed statements by elected officials are the worst things these gutter nazis have to fear, it emboldens them further.

It's time to block X in all of #Europe, arrest the ring leaders and issue an arrest warrant for #Musk, that miserable, ugly weasel, via Interpol.

A #LabourParty MP David Taylor took to #MelonHusk branded #socialmedia platform to praise the #UK home secretary office for the decision to block their visas:

"There's no reason to open our doors to those who seek to spread hate and division, especially to those who've supported a proscribed terror group"

Do you oppose genocide? Have you criticised Israel? Be careful, you might just get banned from the UK.

“PETITION TO PARLIAMENT

Hold a public inquiry into the use of defence-linked AI in the UK public sector
Created by Heiko Khoo
Closes on 24 October 2026

We feel public concern is rising about AI companies deploying automated targeting in military, intelligence and policing. We believe their contracts and influence have been secured without adequate public scrutiny or democratic control. A public inquiry could investigate and address these concerns”

#CenkUygur, l'un des animateurs vedettes du site #TYT (The Young Turks) s'apprètait à prendre son avion pour Londres pour y faire une série de discours à Oxford.

Arrivé au comptoir d'enregistrement, muni de son passeport et visa de 2 ans, il apprend qu'il est interdit de territoire en Angleterre.

Pourquoi ?
Pour ses discours antisionistes et pro-palestiniens.

Cenk Uygur, Hasan Piker Banned From UK Over Israel Criticisms: 'This Is Absolutely Kafkaesque'

Cenk Uygur, co-founder of the Young Turks, and Hasan Piker, the left-wing political commentator and influencer, both said Sunday that they had been banned from the U.K.

Those who favour a #US type health care system for the #UK would do well to read this article. The #USA spends nearly twice as much of its GDP on healthcare as 19 other developed nations selected for comparison, and yet its health outcomes and life expectancy are typically the worst or second worst.

The #NHS has its faults, but I'll take it over the US health system any day. #health #healthcare #healthcarecosts

US healthcare still stupidly expensive, with pathetic outcomes, study finds

There are strategies to improve healthcare, but US isn't trying them.

And in case you missed it, the United Kingdom is having a heatwave ... with temperatures heading for 35°C.

Yes, 35°C. In May.

But if anyone’s still unsure about climate change, don’t worry, the weather will keep making the point.

This article is talking about the UK press; I wonder if the results would be the same for the press here in the USA.

Note that The Guardian, which does such good work in many fields, is not good at all when it comes to trans issues.

The Ukrainian flag has been removed from outside Essex County Council's offices by the newly elected Reform UK administration.

The Ukraine flag had flown outside the building since March 2022, weeks after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of the country.

Reform says it is "proud" of the move, but the Conservatives have branded it "performative".
