I see King Charles has given royal assent to human trafficking for the first time since slavery was abolished in 1807.

Do you remember, back in 2014, when our unionist chums persuaded a majority of Scots that the UK was a stable country where decency, human rights, respect for the rule of law, internationalism and standards in public life were cherished? Seems a long time ago. A generation, even.
“Conspiracy theories about the royal family being lizards disguises the fact that they’re actually something even worse: a slightly dim German family to whom we’ve inexplicably given billions of pounds.” —Frankie Boyle bbc.co.uk/news/uk-688823…
Westminster has managed to make English nationalism backward-looking, tawdry, isolationist and xenophobic - precisely why Scotland wants to forge its own, new path. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
This is truly remarkable, and a huge credit to both the engineers who built this thing 50 years ago and those today who were able to resurrect its comms. This actually *is* rocket science. theguardian.com/science/2024/a…

This 1996 article by Ascherson is fascinating not just for the power and truth of the quote, but because - also written at the fag end of prolonged Tory power - it carries the same themes of performative cruelty by ministers and wider moral relativism.
Ascherson was subsequently paraphrased in the Guardian by Francis Wheen, who wrote in 1999: "We should always watch how politicians treat refugees, Neal Ascherson once wrote, because that's how they would treat the rest of us if they thought they could get away with it."
"The way a state treats its aliens is the way it would treat its own subjects if it dared." —Often misattributed to Tony Benn, but actually comes from the Scottish journalist and writer Neal Ascherson, writing in the Independent, January 1996. independent.co.uk/voices/if-we-t…

The leaflet sums up just how low Labour has sunk under Starmer To produce materials that scapegoat some of the most vulnerable people in the world (fleeing God only knows what) is the worst kind of punching downwards Labour is no alternative & this point a poor Tory tribute act
Wondered where the old National Front had gone.
Under current Scots law anyone being interviewed by the police is 'arrested'. It's not presupposition of guilt but part of an investigative process. The old detention law was changed in 2016 because an arrest gave the accused more protection. The media, of course, know this.

@alanferrier I wonder what kind of lodge she was referring to.
@alanferrier Quite. And it makes one concerned about the calibre of anyone standing to be a member of that particular club in the future, when all respect for the institution and many of its current members has almost disappeared.
And James Clerk Maxwell stood on the shoulders of Michael Faraday, who had first realised magnetic and electric “fields” permeated space and that they were ultimate reality.
