Prof Norman Fenton and Dr Scott McLachlan were edited out of Channel 5's Lucy Letby documentary on Sunday night. Their crime? Expressing forbidden views online. It shows how pernicious cancel culture has become, says Dr Fenton.

dont forget the Conan O'Brien Factor!!

I really like your 'how the ... voted and not voted' coverage and with so many elections coming up this year in south america, I hope your coverage is only being placed on the back burner for now.
in the carve-up of prioritised archiving of political change,
wikipedia do the elections with last minute opinion poll details,
links to files of debates, manifestos, political party or candidate websites, and any other sundry trivia. just what you'd expect from the encyclopedia of the open source movement.
But we still do the "real politics" stuff. & considering that our strength is the championing of abstentionist votes and the true equality of universal suffrage and an end to the oligarchy which once masqueraded as liberal democracy and now quite merrily rues democratic defecits....
south america elections are indymedia. (((sorry wikipedians but there are limits to expertise)))
My next "sunday papers" article will be entitled "house arrest" edition, and is to appear this week. It was going to appear yesterday, but things sort of got complicated. In it I'll review the "other campaign" of the Zapatistas in Mexico, only one month out on the road, and preview the Peruvian elections later this year.
As well as reflecting on how democracy never was what it pretended to be, and so we can't really get perplexed if in the middle east at this time it amounts to a popular sentiment to declare war on the West in general and the USA in particular. Oh and jokes too. And the cliff hanging endings. And a competition to win either an asian made free trade rolex or house trained gazebo.
never forget the "no vote" is increasing.
we now are @ average 30% abstention in most developed states.
I know it's not that relevant to the article above, but just a minor correction - Finnish is indeed a Finno-Ugric language but its closest "national state language" relative is not actually Hungarian, but Estonian.
I realised after I had written it, that I had been guilty of an ignorance of our European Union, and had forgotten the Estonians. I had almost added that Finland boasts the highest percentage of natural blondes in the world. Glad I didn't. Estonia boasts the highest percentage of natural blondes in the world. Estonia as European as Pyroxide can be. :-)
The Estonians last celebrated local government elections in October 2005
Estonians allow "internet voting" and won the Eurovision song contest.
There are many famous Estonians http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_famous_Estonians but my personal favourite is Arvo Pärt, the composer who was born on September 11th 1935 and is the best exponent of what has come to be termed "spiritual minimalism". His most well known work perhaps being "Tabula Rasa" commisioned by Gidon Kremer for violin and piano. But since 2000 he has composed exclusively for human voice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arvo_P%C3%A4rt
