'Austerity is a False Economy that has Brought the Nation's Roof Crumbling Down'

The collapsing school buildings scandal has exposed how the Government failed to ‘fix the roof while the sun was shining’

The scandal is just the most obvious example of the reckless and self-defeating approach taken by this Government to the public sector.

Since 2010, it has cut infrastructure spending as a share of GDP by a third as a part of Osborne’s supposed plan to “fix the roof” of the nation’s public finances.

Assange & Ecuador: The Back Story

"British police personnel entered absolutely without authorization. I want to emphasize that Assange is still Ecuadorian.
They wanted to annul the nationality & so far we are defending it, defending him, who is still Ecuadorian. His nationality has not been withdrawn."
In 2019 the ombudsman of Ecuador declared the expulsion of Julian Assange from the London embassy illegal

End-to-end encryption; the will of the British people

https://element.io/blog/end-to-end-encryption-the-will-of-the-british-people/

Ideally, this section would introduce a guarantee that this type of notice would not be imposed on providers of end-to-end encrypted communications. Instead it relies on questionable concepts such as “accredited technology” to wistfully wave some form of assurance that ‘this sort of thing’ is technically possible and it’ll all be fine, secure and appropriate.

Be under no illusion; “accredited technology” is no more reassuring than a lock which can be opened by a skeleton key.

It’s this aspect of the Online Safety Bill - the potential for undermining of end-to-end encryption - that we refute as completely flawed. It is not possible to have both secure communications and blanket surveillance, in the same way you cannot “have your cake and eat it.”

#Britain is used to #crises now. But this widespread #hopelessness is new – and frightening

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/25/britain-crises-hopelessness-market-towns-suburbs

Now, I hear echoes of the weariness and bafflement I used to associate with the post-industrial places whose furies took us out of the EU, but this time in our market towns and suburbs. I worry about that. I think we all should.

The removal of our international human right to protest is terrifying

We should all be terrified at the authoritarian removal of our international human right to peaceful protest.

You can now be arrested in the UK, just as in Russia, for merely holding a placard – or even being suspected of even thinking about doing so.

Indeed, earlier this year, 10 Downing street said that the bill would mean that “police will not need to wait for disruption to take place and can shut protests down before chaos erupts.” This, indeed, is vague enough to include everything – and exclude nothing.

The removal of our international human right to protest is terrifying

Our right to protest should be re-instated otherwise how can we call ourselves a democracy?
