Welfare Cuts for Warfare: How the UK Government Is Punishing Its Most Vulnerable to Funnel Billions to Ukraine
Critics of UK disability benefit cuts ignore the root cause: rising military spending for Ukraine. Their stance on the conflict prevents them from addressing this link. This article highlights the overlooked connection between welfare cuts and escalating defence budgets.

You need to do some living before this song hits home.
Only a few us have those Lennox lungs that make the microphone optional (it only reaches him at the end of the first couplet).

“You can clearly see, more than before, I’d argue, the absurdity of Mr. Husain’s BS Jobs argument™: it’s not so much the multiplication of BS Jobs (although that’s a huge part of the problem), but the mere fact that institutions are growing beyond that which is reasonable.
Once any university blows through the pool of employees from among the 20% of top performers, any additional hire will make matters worse over time […]
In my experience, it’s rather the profusion of under-performing people—academics and administrators alike (as well as a sizeable contingent of students)—that amounts to the above-related ‘“mountain of small things”’ that is killing academia’.
The overarching point being—it’s not ‘merely’ killing academia; this problem applies to essentially all walks of life, from politics to journalism, from private-sector businesses to NGOs, including any kind of other human organisation, such as your church, your sports club, and your retirement community.
None of this is ‘new’, none of this is worthy of writing a few pages in an academic journal, such as Brain (sic).
Tellingly, the oldest reference in Mr. Husain’s piece is Noam Chomsky’s 1967 essay on ‘The Responsibility of Intellectuals’ […]
Any kind of criticism offered by academics about ‘the university’ is bound to have two major, rather implicit biases: on the one hand, those who voice such a critique consider themselves not part of the problem (whatever it may be) while the arguments mustered are typically excessively shallow, on the other hand (see below for a case in point).
Decrying the excess of this (publish or perish) and that (obtain grant funding) in academia is part of the behavioural sine qua non these days, as is the contempt most academics bear towards administration.”

Sarah Jolney MP takes 2 minutes to read out all the delegated powers given to ministers in the Assisted Dying Bill
Listen to what she says about executive overreach
We are in serious trouble if this bill passes
Additionally, what Sarah Jolney is saying here can be applied to almost all new legislation coming through, and a great bulk of what's gone before
I really hope people understand the implications of this

Read the post carefully. And think about what it means
The Assisted Dying bill will be the most dangerous piece of 'health' legislation since The Health Regs in 2020, if it passes
The bill needs to be stopped, torn up, and consigned to the dustbin. For all of our sakes

Romanian Priest Denounces Ursula von der Leyen as 'Demon Incarnate'
A Romanian Orthodox priest has launched a scathing attack on Ursula von der Leyen, accusing her of embodying evil and promoting harmful policies.
"Ursula is not human. Look at the evil in her soul—like the COVID vaccine and all that other garbage!" he declared, urging Romanians to reject foreign rule and reclaim their national pride.
He also pointed to Serbia as an example, calling on religious leaders to follow the Serbs' lead and take action:
"Learn from the Serbs, many priests took to the streets!"
