Read it and weep: the list of the BBC journalists taking home six figure salaries courtesy of the licence fee payer. Disgraced presenter Huw Edwards came top with £475k despite being off air for nine months of the year.

Britain's new Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, is on record calling Donald Trump "a racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser" and has refused to apologise. This is clearly going to be a problem, says Peter Harris.

Catching Covid Does Not Lower Your IQ Tue Jul 23, 2024 09:00 | Noah Carl
Headlines earlier this year proclaimed that catching Covid may knock up to 6 points off your IQ. A new study punctures this claim: there was no decline in cognitive test scores after Covid infection.

The BBC has ?fact-checked? Labour's claim that a unit of power from a new solar or wind project is cheaper than the cost from a new gas generator and found it to be true. But it's false, says Paul Homewood.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Witness against Torture, a dynamic group in the United States aim to make Guantanamo history and close it down. They have been staging an impressive list of protest actions including a Guantanamo fast now in its sixth day.
An e-mail from Mathew Daloisio of Witness against Torture captures the emotion and strength of the anti-Guantanamo protest outside the White House yesterday:
Dear Friends,
This has been a day full of emotion -- "day 5 of a fast is often my
crying day," shared one long-time faster in our morning reflection.
(He then spoke about the nine men who have died while imprisoned in
Guantanamo, moving many in the circle to tears.) Our emotion is not
unaccompanied by resolve.
As you know, one way our resolve moves us is to try to carry a message
to people on the street here in DC. We have been surprised and often
inspired by the responses of those less familiar or altogether without
knowledge of Guantanamo. This week, we have witnessed folks freeze in
their steps to listen as we begin to softly sing the words, "We're
gonna have a nation that don't torture no one / But it's gonna take
courage for that change to come." Many take out phones to film us
perform street theatre based on Shaker Aamer's December 5th letter on
being referred to as a package by prison personnel. Many more have
approached our leaf-letters, asking, "can you tell me what is this
about?"
At the vigil at the white house today, Luke N. asked all present,
"What would you do if a Guantanamo prisoner was your brother?" We
invite you to hold your answers to this question in your heart as we
mark this 12th anniversary of the prison in Guantanamo.
In Gratitude,
Matthew Daloisio
See and read about a stirring occupation-protest of the Museum in a press release from Jeremy Varon and Frida Berrigan. Including 2 amazing vdeos - one long version and one short version.
The occupation lasted with song and speech and exhibits for 2 hours. No arrests were made!
Colm and I have sent our letter to the US Chargé d'affaires by e-mail and post as promised. By contrast with what's happening State-side our protest barely kept a flickering candle alive.
Today, Colm travelled to Shannon airport to join the monthly protest there. War planes continue to pass through our civilian airport without inspections for drone parts or military equipment while our supine government ignores the issue. Shannonwatch keep an eye on what's happening there and several non-violent actions have ended up in court.
Good on Ye Lads. Keep embarrassing the bastards with their blatant international criminality and exceptionalism. They think we are another of their vassal states. Some sort of glorified aircraft carrier. It's a wonder they haven't actually built one of their military bases here yet. Probably only out of deference to their co conspirators and allies in the UK. Well either that or else they think there's not enough oil / gas for them
