"‘Massive disinformation campaign’ is slowing global transition to green energy"
Sounds like fossil fuel companies are behaving exactly like tobacco companies used to back in the day.
Same sort of carpet-bombing with false stats and fake spokespeople. https://t.co/wLIZqA4s1s
The number of right-wingers tagging @Nigel_Farage and telling him to sue me. 🤣🤣
It would be one thing for these "free speech champions" to support legal censorship if I was lying...
But they're trying to ban me from sharing video evidence of things Farage has actually said!😂
I do wonder if the brave decision of President Biden to step aside and not run for re-election, might end up being one of the most important decisions in US history. The country (and the world) feels different than three weeks ago.
She will spend the next 15 years of her life in a Russian prison for having donated $52 to a Ukrainian charity.
Ksenia Karelina is her name and as far as I'm concerned, she has done more to end this nightmare than all the fucking "heroes" of "Russian opposition" put together.
Why should the state decide what is acceptable? Because that's the democratically elected government of the day, that's literally what we vote for. Because it already does through numerous laws. And that will continue. Because there's no realistic alternative.
1) The colonisation of India involved the transfer of huge sums of wealth and resources from the subcontinent to Europe.
2) The British army massacred Indian men, women, and children in the name of maintaining 'order'.
3) The colonisation of India involved imposing a government on India whose members were selected in Britain.
4) The colonisation involved famine as a means of suppressing the native population.
5) Immigration has been a policy choice by democratically elected governments in Europe, not a foreign imposition.
6) European nationals of colour are your fellow citizens, not conquering imperialists.
7) In India, the railways were constructed to facilitate the transfer of wealth back to Britain. In Britain, the railways are neglected to facilitate the transfer of wealth to shareholders.
Painful to hear Nick Thomas-Symonds making terrible job of trying to defend the utterly indefensible on @BBCr4today - deducting prison food & living costs from compensation paid to people wrongly imprisoned is simply obscene. Come on Labour - people expect better
Murder trials are complicated. They take time to prepare. The court system has been starved of resources for years, causing record backlogs.
A trial in early 2025 is remarkably swift. Most trials in the Crown Court are now being listed in 2026 or 2027.
We've been exposed to measles for at least 900 years, but it has never evolved to become mild. We had smallpox for 1,700 years -- never became mild. Rabies has been around for 2,000 years -- still not mild. Hepatitis B for 5,000 years -- not mild.

One of the murdered girls was the daughter of immigrants.
But Goodwin has never let a shred of decency stop him in his life.
I hear he’s parted ways with his employer. No doubt the shock-jock grift will go on, though 🙄
"This is the worst thing I have seen in my twenty-year career." - over 95% of Ukrainian prisoners of war were tortured in Russia, UN reports.
[Ukrainian]"Prisoners of war are tortured from the very first interrogation. They are beaten with metal rods and sticks, stripped naked and severely electrocuted. This is horrible. This is undoubtedly the worst thing I’ve seen in 20 years of my career while visiting the POWs on behalf of the UN.
This happened to more than 95% of Ukrainian POWs. This is tantamount to a war crime," Danielle Bell, Head of Mission for the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) said on the air of the NOS Dutch TV channel.
Danielle Bell explained that UN representatives have full access to Russian prisoners in Ukraine and can communicate with them. However, they are not allowed to communicate with Ukrainian prisoners in Russia.
"The treatment of prisoners in Ukraine and Russia is completely different. Ukrainian conditions of detention comply with international humanitarian law," she emphasized.
1/People find it counterintuitive that people like Musk or Thiel would risk financial collapse because they think they wouldn’t put their own wealth at risk. But that’s wrong. They aren’t playing for gains within the current dollar system; they are aiming to end it…
