There are risks our military families face while deployed overseas. Being imprisoned for a car accident caused by an unforeseen medical emergency shouldn’t be one of them. America owes the Alkonis family a debt of gratitude. Japan owes the family—and the U.S.—an apology.

Gaza has gas. Sudan has gold. Congo has cobalt. Haiti has limestone. Afghanistan has copper. West Papua has crude oil. Every nation suffering from some form of genocide or intense suffering is attractive in the eyes of the western imperial machine of consumer capitalism.

My advice for Rishi Sunak is "you should bank the two years as prime minister that you know you can have," Prof Sir John Curtice says He adds if the PM gets through his proposed smoking ban, he'd gain "a legacy that many a prime minister would die for"

Some states most fear disorder from the majority as the greatest political-social threat (sometime Soviet discourse about Russian chauvinism) But I wonder also if this is institutional culture formed by longstanding twin strategies for handling Islamism and football hooliganism

AFAICT the state response to Islamism was broadly: - maintain "community relations" to maintain cooperation, get intel - nab dangerous ppl in low-key sting operations - suppress expressions of post-terror anger For less organised hooligans: batons and passport confiscations

I went to a conference on whiteness last autumn. It was very good, very interesting and made me realise: whiteness is to race as patriarchy is to gender. So yes, let’s have anti whiteness, & let’s smash the patriarchy. That’s not anti-white, or anti-men, it’s anti-oppression.

(Int. students washing cars for tips) It does feel like the current migration moment is on the cusp of rewriting a lot of received wisdom. The successful East-West EU labour market integration project just doesn't look comparable to the macro migration demand of 2024

This is a really funny thread where it seemingly doesn't occur to MacKenzie that one might be sceptical that this kind of research has sufficient rigour or might achieve their own stated goals, let alone even loftier goals like solving climate-driven issues or bigotry in Myanmar

The thing is, if you want fewer refugees coming to Britain, you probably need to have greater climate resilience in places like Uganda and Myanmar and less discrimination against gender non conformity across the world. I dunno, it’s almost like social science is pretty useful.

Insane marginal tax rates ought to be one of those things that attract broad agreement so it's particularly bad we've let them linger so long Who is the constituency or interest group for accidental 85% marginal taxes?

The brilliance of the UK tax system means that a social worker is paying an 85% marginal tax rate. Or rather they aren't, because they're not stupid. They're just turning away work. HMRC don't get the tax. We don't get the social work. Everybody loses.
