The RSPB took on ministers and fell to earth. How it happened is a warning to us all
This is not just a story of a wildlife charity being bullied – it’s about the ugly truth of power dynamics in today’s Britain
Economic power seldom needs to discipline those who might challenge it. Most of the time, they do it to themselves. However extreme the ideologies promoted by corporations and oligarchs, organisational life falls broadly into line.

Liberty
The Government’s so-called Illegal Migration Bill is cruel and unworkable.
The Bill threatens human rights at the most fundamental level.

The proposals will strip basic rights away from thousands of the most vulnerable in our society – just because of the way they came to the UK.

This includes people fleeing countries known to be unsafe as well as victims of modern slavery and human trafficking.

This trip to the UK that DeSantis made has absolutely fuck all to do with trade.
It's about exporting US fascism.

"Britain’s role has been essential for destablising the Middle East and northern Africa. Yet our government washes its hands of any responsibility. Worse than this, it treats the very people whose lives it has ravaged as sub-human." thecanary.co/opinion/2023/03/0

Unless you are Ukrainian, there are no legal routes [for asylum] to the UK. The Government has closed down all legal routes so that in order to claim asylum in the UK you have to be physically present in the UK. But it has not provided safe, legal routes for people to get here – like a visa scheme with an online screening process. That means that to claim asylum, people have to risk their lives in lorries or small boats.

On the same day that high-ranking Met officer David Carrick was outed as a serial r*pist – the government announced a number of new amendments [to the Public order Bill] that together represent the potentially unlimited expansion of police power over protest. novaramedia.com/2023/01/24/the
