Humanists UK mourns Dame Esther Rantzen (1940–2026)

Esther was a great champion of human dignity. She approached her final years with the same fearless determination that defined her career of advocacy, using her own experience to shine a light on the suffering caused by our outdated laws.

Farage (et al) literally panting for Fairford to be linked to asylum seekers and, as usual, the ludicrous demand for immediate information with totally irresponsible implication that the absence of such information is suspect.

Government intervention in the housing market always results in the same thing. Higher house prices. This benefits only estate agents and developers and people selling off their property assets. It never benefits first time buyers.

We're right up at the edge here. An MP and deputy leader of a political party playing footsie with the idea it's ok for a street gang to take the law into their own hands

Farage and Reform despise the characteristics that make a civilised society. The RNLI have a mission to save lives irrespective of who the person is, their background & where they are from. The RNLI saved enemy forces in the seas around the UK in WW1 & WW2 but such humanitarianism is beyond Farage.

If you add in £130m losses on “Reform TV” (aka GB News) the effective subsidy of Farage’s party from just four men tops £200m. You just have to join the dots app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/75017/...
Farage and the £130m even his detractors have missed
GB news has provided relentless positive PR for Nigel Farage while racking up tens of millions in financial losses. And now there is a new channel in the offing

I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

Could govt explain to the majority of liberal, progressive voters in this country why our genuinely legitimate concerns - about the rise in racism and flag-waving thuggery on our streets, are repeatedly brushed aside while they pathetically pander to the racist angst of a nasty, uninformed minority?

£3 - the annual Labour affiliation fee per affiliated union member.

£36,000,000 - how much each of two billionaires donated to Reform UK.

One billionaire donated the equivalent of 12 million union members’ annual affiliation fees. The two are not the same.
