United paid £6m for each Jadon Sancho goal, which does not factor in his £250,000-per-week wages. He will be remembered as one of the club's worst-ever signings #mufc https://t.co/n9AWtka95l

BREAKING: 🇮🇷🇺🇸The 14-point draft memorandum of understanding between Iran and the U.S., per Mer News Agency:

— Permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon

— The U.S. commitment to non-interference in Iran's internal affairs and respect for the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

— Complete lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days

— The U.S. commitment to withdraw its forces from around Iran

— Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under Iranian arrangements

— Suspension of sanctions on the sale of oil, petrochemical products, and derivatives, and full access of Iran to its financial resources

— The necessity for the U.S. and its allies to present reconstruction plans for Iran amounting to at least 300 billion dollars

— 60 days of negotiations to reach a final agreement based on nuclear issues and the complete lifting of primary, secondary, U.S. sanctions, and UN Security Council and IAEA Board of Governors resolutions

— Reiteration of Iran's commitment under the NPT treaty not to produce nuclear weapons

— During the negotiation period, the US has committed not to add forces in the region and not to impose new sanctions

— Release of 24 billion dollars of Iran's blocked funds during the 60-day final negotiation period. Half of this amount must be made available to Iran before the start of negotiations

— Formation of a supervisory mechanism to implement the agreement

— The final agreement will be approved by a UN Security Council resolution

— Final negotiations will not begin before the release of half of Iran's blocked funds, suspension of Iran's oil sanctions, and lifting of the naval blockade, and the final agreement will only cover the fate of enriched materials and enrichment, lifting of sanctions, and Iran's economic reconstruction plan

— Discussions about Iran's missile program and support for resistance groups are definitively removed from the agenda

It is not just the far right. It is the media themselves, including the so-called progressive ones.

Violence in Britain has fallen 83% since the mid-1990s. Burglary 86.6%. Vehicle theft 86.4%. ONS, Crime Survey for England and Wales, forty years of data.

89.5% of prisoners serving for violence against the person are British nationals. 89.4% for sexual offences. 73% of the prison population is white.

Convictions by ethnicity are 84% white, matching population share almost exactly. Violence is the largest arrest category at 47%, and the MOJ confirms this is "broadly consistent across ethnic groups".

The disproportionality is in drug offences and weapons possession, not violent crime.

The Oxford Migration Observatory found that controlling for age and sex, foreign nationals are underrepresented in prison: 3,193 fewer than demographics predict.

The LSE found "the increase over time in offending is much stronger among the British than the Foreigners. Indeed there is essentially no change in the violent incarceration rate of foreigners over the whole period in spite of the two large immigrant waves that occurred".

A study of 55 countries over three decades (Journal of Economic Perspectives) found no correlation between immigration and crime. Homicide fell by a third globally from 1990 to 2019 while the immigrant population grew by two thirds. A separate analysis of 216 regions across 23 European countries found "no significant link between immigration levels and crime rates".

Yet the public believes the opposite. A MORI survey found the British public believed 23% of the population was foreign born. At the time, the actual figure was around one in nine. The public perceives the most negative impact of immigration to be crime. The data says foreign nationals are underrepresented in violent crime. That gap is not an accident. It is a product.

Violent crime is over 60% of tabloid crime coverage despite being 20% of reported crime. An analysis of 402,819 articles found the immigration-crime link in public perception exists because of selective coverage and breaks when native criminality is given equivalent prominence.

Arendt (2010) found over-representation of "foreign crime" articles directly led to readers overestimating foreign offenders.

Blinder and Jeannet (2017, British Journal of Political Science) showed media depictions directly affect the accuracy of British public perceptions.

The Erasmus study found coverage "disproportionately focused on crimes involving immigrants, fueling misconceptions even when data showed no substantial increase". A CEPR study found this coverage directly increased populist voting by 5%.

And it is not just the tabloids. Conservative papers focus on immigrant crime. Liberal and progressive papers focus on "group-related problems". Both frame immigration through threat.

A study of 40,000 articles found systematic bias against Muslims across UK media. The BBC, Sky, ITV, the Times, the Guardian: they all amplify crime when the perpetrator is an immigrant or non-white, not because it is more common, but because it is more engaging.

A domestic murder in Sunderland does not get 3.4 million views. A white British man who commits one of the nine out of ten violent offences in this country does not trend.

The result: a population that believes crime is rising when it has collapsed, believes immigrants are dangerous when they are statistically less so, and believes the country was safer decades ago when every dataset says the opposite.

The far right did not build this machine. The media did. The far right just learned how to drive it.

London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers.

After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

Authorities had planned major man-made flood infrastructure, but the beavers effectively created their own system — while also boosting biodiversity and restoring the ecosystem around them.
