For over a year, I've been collating articles published about police officers' crimes. After a couple of weeks, I started using the hashtag
#PoliceCrimeDaily
to keep track of them. Today, I got some vindication. An investigation is launched into a police officer every day for crime or misconduct.

Reform UK have a win-win formula every time they make a policy statement: 1) Say the most extreme thing possible 2) The moribund Tories & Labour will either match you or adopt a slightly less Draconian position In that way, they constantly shift the framing rightwards & take the battleground.

Labour have branded Nigel Farage’s migration attacks "unfunded, unworkable and falling apart in real time." And the classic: "Unserious". They seem very reluctant to say "immoral" or "wrong".

If the Tories' 'plot' succeeds, they'd be doing Starmer a favour. McSweeney is the architect of many of his failures in government.

Lib Dems also falling into the bullshit of "if we resolve the asylum backlog efficiently, we defeat Reform". Reform don't care about the 'asylum backlog' outside of it being a tool. It could be 0 people and it wouldn't matter as long as there are people of colour in the UK. That is the end goal.

A 9-year-old girl has been left "frightened to leave the house" after she was shot with an airgun in a racially aggravated assault, police say. Avon & Somerset Police said the girl was hit three times by an air gun pellet in an incident in Bristol on 2 Sept, during which a racial comment was used.

Where all are the poets who love to tell people they work with prisoners? And win prizes for it. Use your voices. Say something about this. Lobby the government, even if it is just self-interest, as you'll lose money. This is a catastrophic decision by the government.

Politically, the most important paragraph is the one reaffirming third states' duty to prevent genocide. It was triggered by the ICJ provisional measures orders on 26.01.2024. The "serious risk of genocide" was clear then. States should have acted then. They must act now." – Professor Janina Dill
