The UK is reportedly planning to implement conscription, to try and stop the war in Ukraine.

Keir Starmer is calling these "peace keepers"

I'm glad to say I'm leaving the UK in a week, as I don't plan on dying for Ukraine.

Within the past two weeks, on a visit to the city of my birth, London, I have committed:
1) The crime of being Black while studying the interior of a church (I did church architecture as part of pre 6th form O Level art &, though an atheist from the age of six, retain an interest in the buildings). The only other civilian in the church, a worshiper, had clearly felt threatened and had called the Priest who enquired as to why I was in the building.

2) The crime of being Black while hailing a taxi for hire (taxi sign on) in broad daylight.
The first driver saw me well enough to deliver a comedic wave before driving on; the second merely looked me in the eyes, dismissed me and drove on.
&
3) The crime of not being what I apparently, in this instance, had a duty to be:
After dinner in my hotel, I've just been racially profiled by another guest (vanilla) who assumed I was a member of staff as we all waited for the lift/elevator on our way to our rooms.

The last of these instances made me laugh. The first two were annoying. As I told a young, white and helpful policeman many years ago, "You get used to it".
He replied, "You shouldn't have to!".

The @metpoliceuk is so far from fit for purpose it’s terrifying.

The heavy-handed and totally disproportionate treatment this woman received (in front of her distressed and bewildered young son) was for suspected bus fare evasion, to the tune of £1.75

Baroness Charlotte Owens supposedly can’t be discussed in the press because of a super injunction.

But the only reason for a super injunction would be because she is in fact Johnson’s daughter.
