Children murdered. Doctors stripped. Prisoners raped. Hospitals bombed. Mass graves. International law shattered. War crimes in plain sight. Harrowing watch of the Gaza: Doctors Under Attack documentary on Channel 4. A genocide livestreamed. We are watching humanity collapse.
Around 400 Palestinians, including dozens of children, have been killed while trying to get humanitarian assistance. I don’t recall these incidents (including this weekend) leading many papers or news bulletins. Are we really saying a few chants from a couple of musicians is more…

We'll be calling on the new administration at @LancashireCC to consider our previous request, that if a bus lane is deemed absolutely necessary, why those rules can't be relaxed outside of bus operating times, where the stretch can operate as normal.
The cameras were turned on in June last year, and the 60-metre stretch of bus-only road continues to make more than £100,000-a-month for Lancashire County Council with 80,000 penalty charge notices issued to motorists 🚌🚗 blogpreston.co.uk/2025/06/corpor…
