The Guardian's weekend editorial sums up the hypocrisy of global affairs that is obvious & corrosive of a 'rule based order':
'The contrast between the west’s rhetoric about universal standards & its selective outrage is glaringly & increasingly evident to people around the world. They noted the bleak contrast between the passionate defence of Ukraine & the apparent indifference to genocide in Gaza. Some lives appear more important than others'!

“One of the hallmarks of Western liberalism is an assumption, in hindsight, of virtuous resistance as the only polite expectation of people on the receiving end of colonialism …. But it’s a fiction, the most malicious kind: a fiction of moral convenience.”

I think these two are spitting fire here. The sentiment between the two is reasonably consistent that the Republican Party should be considered a criminal organization which is I think the most polite way to put them. I appreciate the clarity and I’m glad that to see a growing consensus over what has to happen in order to restore our sovereignty as a people

There is no underestimating how vulnerable our dependency on U.S.-based payment systems has made us. We need to emancipate ourselves these systems ASAP, as Europe is doing, or our financial system could be in serious jeopardy. Maybe we could do this by signing onto Europe's EPI system or maybe by finally investing in our own tech startups? Write to your local MP demanding action be taken NOW to uphold our financial and national security.

Facts are important, even if they can make people angry. Agencies that gather facts should be protected from vindictive officials that don't like to hear facts.

I boost my 3 days old post hoping that someone will find it challenging to help.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, given recent Govt.s have seldom been really interested in prisons as anything more than punishment or warehousing for criminals, the budget for prison education (a key aspect of any hope fro rehabilitation) has been cut (again) in real terms.
This is doubly disappointing as one might have hoped James Timpson as Prisons Minister might have been able to shift the Govt. towards realising the value of prison education.
