10·3 days agoThose breaching a mask-ban face imprisonment up to one month, and/or a fine up to £1,000.
A month in prison for wearing a mask. A thing we were all mandated to do just 6 years ago.
MBFC is almost entirely created by one person (6 named on site, but 1 is by far the controlling authority).
Nobody is without bias, but a large organisation of many varying views can temper it to a tolerable amount. To say that a near one man operation can act without bias though is ridiculous.
To rely on MBFC to determine the credibility of a news source is like outsourcing your critical thinking to somebody else. They’re a hack organisation as much as the organisations they claim to call out.
Oh he’s after something else

3·4 days agoAye, it’s almost as if that was their purpose because the river had become near stagnant.
The Environment Agency were clearly doing fuck all, but now that an organisation has done something about it (after multiple complaints to the EA resulting in nothing) they’re up in arms. Their press release reads as so flimsy as to be laughable.
This isn’t just some greedy farmer trying to improve his land not caring about the knock on effects downstream. They clearly put a great deal of thought and planning into what they do and why.

Reading the comments on this story a few days ago on .world was depressing AF.
The thread was full of justifications for prosecution; they shouldn’t have used a digger, and they could have done more damage than good, and they should have let the authorities do it, blah blah blah
Clearly none of them had read that it had been an ongoing campaign that knew what they were doing and had appealed to the authorities several times. Just straight to justifying authorities criminalisation of public good.
Here’s a video from Channel 4 to give a better visual of what they did: https://youtu.be/Kj9Hvdzu_zw
On the one hand, expanding voting to the whole party instead of just those with the means to attend conference sounds good.
On the other, expanding the powers of the leader opposes one of the core parts that makes the Greens different and more democratic than other parties.
Are we witnessing the Green’s New Labour moment?..
Fuck the BBC’s impartial framing. Lawyers may often be scumbags at times but they have the right to strike over pay as much as any other worker.
The barristers’ strike was over pay - the chair of the Bar Council of Northern Ireland, Donal Lunny KC, said Crown Court legal aid fees had not risen in 20 years.
Justice Minister Naomi Long agreed at the start of June to accept recommendations made in a review of criminal legal aid, including an additional 8.66% increase to all criminal legal aid fees.
In a vote taken on 18 June 2026, 66% of the members of the Criminal Bar Association voted to return to full service.
In a statement the CBA said: "The escalated withdrawal of services was taken by the CBA as a last resort and in response to a deepening access to justice crisis throughout the criminal justice system.

No we don’t!
While it is hard to link climate change to individual extreme weather events, scientists say climate change is making heatwaves more frequent and intense.
The only mention of climate change, right at the very bottom of the article, and as near as they can get to dismissing it without being accused of denial. The BBC is a fucking joke of a public broadcaster.
The Communist Party of Britain Marxist Leninist
An important caveat on the end there. It denotes that they’re bonkers and dangerous. Wishing for a dictatorship so long as they’re at the helm instead of the rich.
She has been involved in talks to exempt care workers from the proposed changes to “indefinite leave to remain”. She is now embroiled in a standoff with Keir Starmer over the future of the immigration minister Mike Tapp, who is accused of passing off the plans as his own.
Fucking children. And the reality is probably an underpaid nobody came up with it during some focus group
Aww, is Mahmood’s petty and vindictive style of governance coming to bite her in the arse? Oh no!
Britain has never, ever, been a meritocracy.
He just spouts lies on top of lies.

Does that mean we can move away from electricity being linked to the price of gas now then?..
Don’t take my word for it. This is what the Institution of Engineering and Technology has to say:
- Suitability of home wiring: Many installations - especially those that have not been professionally inspected for years - may contain worn components, unverified DIY alterations, or protective devices that cannot safely manage electricity being fed back into the system.
- Older RCDs may not work correctly with plugin generation: An RCD (Residual Current Device) is the safety switch that cuts the power if there’s a fault - for example, if someone cuts through a lawnmower cable it protects you against electric shock. But some older RCDs were never designed for electricity flowing back into the circuit, as can happen with plug-in solar. This can stop the RCD from tripping when it should, meaning it may not protect you during a fault. Households should check with a competent electrician whether their RCDs are suitable before plugging in any energy generation equipment.
- Compliance with Wiring Regulations: BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations) sets out how electrical installations should be designed, built and verified. These regulations do not determine what consumers may plug in, placing responsibility on households to ensure that their wiring is fit for purpose before introducing any form of local generation.
- Risk of overload or back feed: Plug-in solar can create scenarios where parts of a circuit carry more current than intended, even if the circuit breaker appears to operate normally.
- Safe disconnection: Until appropriate standards are finalised, it is not guaranteed how different plug-in solar units will behave when more than one is connected, or how reliably they will disconnect during a power cut, posing a safety risk.
Germany doesn’t use ring mains wiring and their housing stock is considerably more modern than the UK’s. So they have more reliable insulation and more modern breaker systems.
That’s not to say it’s not possible here. It is. It’s just the UK needs to take a more cautious approach because we have a greater risk of safety issues due to the way our homes are wired and the overall greater age of components.
All this to say, I hope for the roll out soon, but comparing our situation to Germany doesn’t help much because our situation is more complex and will likely involve sparkies in a greater way than Germany needs to. Modern homes or those with up to date circuitry may be fine, but Victorian/Georgian homes will likely need somebody to give the place a look over first.
This clickbait title could kill this Brits desire to watch
