What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Farage doesn't mind getting his hands dirty by muck-raking but the faux nationalism is a Trojan horse. Once empowered, he'll enable foreign wealth and oligarchy to bleed us dry. Shady offshore accounts and fossil fuel money aren't funding him with zero expectation of reward. He's a quisling.

If the NYT would like an amicus brief from historians who will sign a statement noting this is all bullshit, they could probably get 10,000 signatures by the end of the week.

Overfishing persists not for lack of rules, but because power, governance, and cooperation shape how they’re applied. Frida Bengtsson’s doctoral thesis shows that the way out of overfishing is trust, transparency, and political will. www.stockholmresilience.org/research/res...
