Looks like a Labour MP is announcing they are bringing back the deeply flawed, unsafe assisted dying bill. Forget social media ban, forget about by-election, forget about a fresh start. One MP and multi million ££ lobbyists saying ignore dangers for the vulnerable
We have debated this deeply divisive and flawed Bill for over a year and nothing has changed nothing.
This Bill will hand sweeping, unchecked powers over life and death and our NHS to future governments..whoever they are.
Insane stuff.

Puts on my I Have A Summer-Born Child hat.
Have said this before, but some of them will be extra cross if the oldest kids on their cohort can do such things but they cannot.
Two-tier GCSE revision opportunities? Clearly not fair.
This mean students up to Year 11 will not be able to revise GCSE biology on Freesciencelessons YouTube channel.
This also mean a 15 years and 364 days old not be able to read Facebook posts from their MP or councillor, but expected to vote for them tomorrow.

Akshually... in KS4 daughter was more likely to have a podcast, Rogan or whatever, playing while she spent lots of time making GCSE art.
🚨NEW: Teachers are raising concerns about a ban on YouTube for under-16s as many year 10 and 11 students use the platform to learn and revise GCSE content

Made me think about "niches" at school. This or that after-school club or activity where a kid like that can fit in. See also: genderism.
The lives of these young Palestine Action activists have been ruined by university. They were radicalised to the point of madness on campus and now they’re facing years in jail. The whole thing is an utter tragedy and a scary indictment of our universities.

Quite like that as a collective noun in this context.
Can think of other contexts...
What’s the problem here Steve?
You don’t think that a Berkeley engineering class would benefit from a diversity of third grade math skills?
You don’t think that it should be inclusive of people that can’t do basic division?
Do Better!

My mate did a report on the trial in Dundee involving the young girls and grown brother and sister who assaulted them.

Talking of Ahmadiyya.
I did notice when they had Muslims out nearby being shocked & horrified for the media cameras re. the 2017 London Bridge attack.
They had banners & signs w. small-print which were Ahmadiyya.
Yet they're heretics to some more mainstream Muslims.

British culture is better than Pakistani culture. This isn’t controversial.

More realistically no social media in the contemporary sense.
There were web forums, email lists, & Usenet was still alive (beginning to drown in binaries though).

And no internet in those days. Only the next day, when I went to school to find my friends were equally shocked by the reaction, did I realise that not everybody had gone mad.

Thing is, the sheriff explicitly accepted the "f**king ... migrant" claim.
> Yeah-but <insert displacement here>
< NO! You're supposed to be better than the other side. Not just as crocky but from the other direction.

A 12 year-old girl dubbed 'Sophie of Dundee' who was arrested after police initially believed a Bulgarian man's claims that she had called him a "f**ing migrant" has been vindicated after he was found guilty of assault. dailysceptic.org/2026/06/12/…

Both sides of this went to hyperbolic extremes & converged on two oppositional stories, both littered w. nonsense.
Today it's just one of them.
Clowns to the left, jokers to the right. Hardly anyone caring about reality.

The girls in Dundee were smeared as violent, racist thugs.
The media lied about them being the aggressors.
The police claimed people who defended them were posting "misinformation".
Turns out, they were all completely wrong.

Cycled there, 30 miles away (& 30 miles back) to Bolton Abbey a couple of times when I was age ~10.
With friend one time & alone the other.
Thems were the days.
Saw the Hockney joiner shot of his mother at the Bradford museum when I was a student. Blew me away. Just total innovation. He was how Englishmen should be. Pugnacious, clever, total individual.

A 14-year-old girl has been charged with three counts of attempted murder after a knife attack at a school in Manchester, police have said.
On Thursday evening, police said the suspect had also been charged with two counts of possessing a bladed article on school premises.
She will appear at Westminster magistrates’ court in London on Friday. Two pupils, both aged 14, and a male member of staff, 27, were injured in the incident at the Co-op Academy on Plant Hill Road, Higher Blackley, on Tuesday morning, according to Greater Manchester police. The school was locked down when police arrived at 8.30am.

A 14-year-old girl arrested after a teacher and two pupils were stabbed in a school in Manchester has been detained under the Mental Health Act.
She was arrested on suspicion of section 18 assault after police were called to reports of multiple stabbings at the Co-op Academy on Plant Hill Road in Blackley at about 08:30 BST on Tuesday.
A boy and girl, both 14, and a 27-year-old male teacher were taken to hospital and have since been released, Greater Manchester Police said. The force said the incident was still under investigation. Police said staff quickly detained a girl to ensure no further harm came to pupils or staff before officers arrived. The school, which has reopened, said the site was immediately placed under lockdown procedures and staff "acted bravely" in detaining the student.

But I saw the "identity" they projected online. Mostly revelling in their run-ins & relationships w. cops. Plus of course she was tooled-up.
It was never the extremes potrayed on here: far-right racist or a narrow escape from becoming a child sex-slave.

A man and a woman have now been arrested following the viral Dundee incident.
Does fearless gender-critical feminist Kathleen Stock now regret sneering at Lola and Ruby Moir, suggesting the vulnerable girls would spend fundraiser money "on machetes and Irn Bru"?
