A lot of the public don't seem to realise that Kieth as DPP worked with and alongside the Government to do heinous things, and it needs to be pointed out whenever possible. UKMT is, of course, not surprised (mostly), but perhaps the public could be swayed into the truth with the occasional revelation about how Tory Kieth actually is.

Accusations go as late as 2018 and he's been claiming to be sober for longer than that, including a book that came out in 2017 where he claimed to no longer be an alcoholic. Somebody is lying.

Good morning thread - I have a 'homework' request. A little while back in a previous version of UKMT someone made a post about JSO and its tactics, including a link to a twitter thread. The gist of it was that while the JSO/XR style public disruption doesn't go down at all well with the general public in the short term, it does at least get and keep the issue at hand in the public consciousness and can actually boost the support for action in the long term. The twitter thread had polling graphs supporting that. Does anyone know when that was? Or can they dig out the twitter thread? I thought I had it bookmarked but it seems not.

Is this... an actual socialist policy from the Labour Party??? Labour plans to tackle housing crisis by forcing landowners to sell at lower prices Given 75%-80% of the cost of building a house is the cost of getting the land for it, this actually might make affordable housing possible. Link should avoid FT paywall, if not can copy text.

It is still paywalled for me but would that not just be a big handout to property developers who could then simply sell the houses at the current rate? I don't think many people have the ability to just buy undeveloped land and then go through the rigamarole to get planning permissions and then contract someone to build them a house.

In isolation it sounds good but I would still have concerns over what the council then does with the land, as presumably they would still be getting private developers to build on it.

If they do get this through & councils get to buy land cheaply and build more social housing, they absolutely MUST find a way of binding it 'in perpetuity' from being sold off under any sort of 'right to buy' scheme and thus entering the private sector making huge profits for private owners and losing the housing for those who can never afford to buy. One of my friends bought her south London flat under 'right to buy' at a huge discount because her deceased parents had lived in it (not herself once she turned 18) as a 'council flat' and it's now worth a fortune should she choose to sell up.

That's why there is no offense of drink driving. He was drunk when he did all those awful things. He now no longer drinks, so why are these women dwelling on the past? Don't you realize how insensitive it is to be reminding this man about his drink problem he used to have?

Ah but he is a rich alcoholic. Poor alcoholics can be beaten just for being drunk in a public place, because nobody wants to see that. Rich alcoholics, we all have to pause and meditate about how one day they shall die, and never do anything about anything until then.

If you read the full article, the contrast between Cohen's extremely open and unconcealed behaviour and the conveyor belt of senior executives going: "Well golly-gosh, we had absolutely no idea any of this was going on!" when questioned is particularly puke-inducing.

The Guardian's HR pipeline of "we won't take action, but we're here if you want to discuss your feelings further. no? ok, then" to "well, she refused the offer of another meeting about the issue, I guess she's the real problem here" is all too familiar and too all grim, too. Also, full credit to Jane Bradley, this is a great punchline: quote:In a phone interview, Mr. Cohen said he did not have the “faintest idea” about Ms. Siegle’s accusation and questioned why she had waited so long to report it. He said the conversation with the copy editor was “joking” among friends. He blamed their accusations on a campaign by his critics, including advocates for Russia and for transgender rights.
