If we rejoin the EU, the budget "black hole" goes away.

Anthony James' artworks bring an impossible concept like the idea of infinity, or the cosmos, into physical objective existence.

This is his Great Rhombicosidodecahedron in the permanent collection of the Palm Springs Art Museum.

🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Support for the Monarchy has collapsed even further!

A poll has today shown that support for the Monarchy has now dropped to 45%.

The monarchy no longer commands the support of the British people. It's time for a proper debate. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

So just to recap: one Tory MP didn't vote against the government last night because Labour MPs were laughing at him, and another doesn't know the capital of Rwanda is Kigali.

What a party.

"Taking advantage of those Brexit freedoms" to kill all the bees

Thiamethoxam has been banned in 🇪🇺 since 2018 but 🇬🇧 has today for 4th year running given it "emergency authorization"

"A single teaspoon can deliver a lethal dose to 1.25 billion bees"

At the end of WW2

Lawyers from European countries, mostly British.

Visited Germany, they went to the Nazi death camps

They assessed the:

Politics
Military
Bureaucracy

To see how it had happened, from how the Nazi's took power, and how they got to their "Final Solution" without their population overthrowing them.

They designed a set of laws and rights specifically to stop it happening in Europe ever again.

These are called the #ECHR

If your Government is talking about leaving the ECHR and its not just some random loons, be afraid and get them out of power fast.

S Korea already knew in 2020 how to deal with dangerous viruses, having had two previous waves in the recent past. Did we:

A send delegations there to learn from them & seek their advice, or
B rely on our superior British qualities to fuck up & kill thousands more people?

Charlottesville’s Robert E. Lee statue has met its end, in a 2,250-degree furnace.

The divisive Confederate monument, the focus of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in 2017, was secretly melted down and will become a new piece of public art.
