The main difference between the USA and most other countries is the number of guns in the hands of people and people can mostly use those guns. There is only a certain amount people will put up with before they snap, and when the president sends in the military against civilians, it pits civilians against potential family members who are in the national guard, there will be a point where even the US generals in charge of those units say NO, and defy the orders of the president.
As for people who can't fight, family members will see that, look at the new costs of medical care and realise they are not simply fighting for their future but also for the future of those with no voice or choices due to illness.
I can see something happening, Musk is already trying to incite civil war here in the UK.

I think the US needs a civil war, I say that as the country is so polarized there is no going back from that, something has to snap and people need to fight it out, even though the cost in human lives could be immense, something HAS to happen.
Something is inevitable.

I have no problem with this, BUT, friends don't usually let friends break the law, sometimes even your closest friend has to be told NO, sometimes you HAVE to stop friends doing stuff that is illegal, even if that results in their arrest, it may get them the help they need, if nothing else, for their own good.
A friend is not much of a friend if they stick by you while you commit serious offenses such as rape, murder.
Lets see if Rachael Reeves has the ability to actually understand this and put pressure on Netenyau to either seek peace or step aside so someone else in his country can take israel forward as a civilised nation or cement them in this part of history as complicit in Gencide (UN has used that word).

I think this is the sort of low level and peaceful protests we need, if nothing else it may get people thinking and talking about the subject.

There is an assumption everyone has or wants a phone, also an assumption that people can afford a phone, or data (even with data gifting) so as a result more services are using phones,
At the same time, as you said we can't use cash on buses (we can where I am) however all these require smartphones, which we want to ban for under 16s, so they are going to find them selves in that precise situation.
We also assume people have phones running Apple or Google so what about people using other things like postmarketOS, graphine, which as far as I understand are open sourcee, mobile systems, unless they are compatible with google android.
I agree people need to wake up or we are going to just be excluded.

So maybe those protesting (and risking prison) for doing and the rest of us need to change tactic and find a way to resolve this in the courts.
No qualified judge can argue with the wording of international law, and the fact a number of international independent bodies have labelled this genocide. If anything else a judge in a lower court may not have the power to judge and needs to hand to a higher court.

Firstly I would not wish on anyone the circumstances that means they have to claim PIP. But anyone of these politicians or other civil servants who advice / process claims could be struck down tomorrow with a condition that leaves them unable to work and struggle with day to day tasks, while still having to find money for essentials, food, rent, mortgage, cooking etc.

Along with full funding for schools so people can leave school with the grades and skills to go on to university and to study science and medicine or the subjects needed to work in the NHS.
We can't keep relying on overseas medical staff (it deprives other countries of their medical staff) we need to train and retain our own staff too, so yes, and that will also benefit people like MSF with expertise from the UK.

Give me a human driver any day. A human driver can be trained in CPR or to recognise the difference between a stroke (or other conditions) and being drunk and call for help accordingly. Or understand mental health crisis and act accordingly (not just eject passenger from the car) or perhaps if a person who has been attacked hails a taxi, be offered a lift gratis as at that time it is the right thing to do and it is clearly an emergency.

I assume CPS is child protection services, here in the UK staff in schools are NOT allowed to hit chidren in any circumstances, in fact staff need to have specific training to restrain a child (which is needed if they are in danger or others are in danger) however that has to be a last resort.
You are in no way a bully for calling CPS, in the UK hitting a child is assault and a sackable offence, even if the child hits you first.

We can fight mis information on vaccines with what you have here, acual data and linking to the science. (btw where did the graphic come from)
My local American Football team head coach, has a degree in Geology, one of the things he has told me is there is a phenonomen where the more you double down on the science the more the sceptics try and argue their counter point, even when it is clearly a losing battle.
So on that, do we spend time trying to argue our point that vaccines work, or do we spend time just sharing the actual science and just dicuss the points raised and ignore the sceptics. Where vaccines do have side effects perhaps help share data or our experiences and see if we can help determine why they are not working in some cases (e.g i know with covid if people have other health conditions the vaccine was less effective).
I am aware that arXiv is a pre print service but I think it is still worth sharing papers on there to help our point,
anti vaxxers etc are, of course more than welcome to share their actual research, cite actual papers etc etc. That is the whole point of peer review and in line with good science practice retract papers where there are concerns.

I would assume, as an open protocol, ActivityPub can adapt and change over time, so that newer services can be created with newer features. Existing services will also adapt. Or we get say Mastodon2.0 which is backward compatible with 1.0. Not sure how the data base works that stores data, but I would guess it is seperate from AP so data can be moved just like data can be downloaded and uploaded to a different instance. So at some point we can download from a AP1.0 instance and upload to a AP2.0 instance.

Agreed, it is concerning, but nothing will happen, we will get to the next election and reform could make huge gains. The current two main parties need to be held to account.
I suspect anyone running for reform will have a similar anti immigration agenda, but zero actual plan to address people traffiking or the skills shortages that bring people in.
Apparently there won't be reform of the social care system until 2028, one of the sectors that is struggling as it relied on overseas workers. by 2028 it will be in an even bigger crisis, and labour will just do the 'sticking plaster over a gunshot wound' clain they fixed it, and blame the previous government for breaking it, despite by that time being in for 4 years and not really doingj anything.
With that £100 million farage could do a LOT of research and planning and come up with some real solutions to the issues involved.
If he has any real desire to gain power, he will do that and have a proper plan in place by the time of the next election.

I think the Isreal has made it clear that it considers the people of Palestine as anything other than people, they are all seem to be put in the same category as Hamas, despite most of the people IN Gaza not being born when Hamas took control.
The US just follows the line set by the Isreali hard lined government,
On a similar line, Jews subjected to anti semitism over the current crisis are all assumed to be in support of the current governments stance, I get the impression many Jews are not even supportive on Netenyahu, even in Isreal.

"Its not so much 'stranger danger' for women, rather they are at most of risk of being murdered at home & by those they are intimate with."
Same as with child abuse, more likely to be committed by a person known to the child rather than a complate stranger, of course the internet is changing the dynamic a little but predators gain the trust of the child, so it is still not opportunistic, they groom the child to trust them, then get them to send pictures, video or try and meet up.

This may sound harsh, but those investing their life savings in to say crypto, they are adults, they should know the risks etc.
We have a TV programme in the UK, it is about people buying property at auction, usually as property developers, one of the things that the presenters keep reminding people 'read the legal pack' as that has all the info about the property, any issues, covenents or otehr restrictions.

In one sesne the Dems have two years to get their act together so they can take back the Senate ( i think ) which should make it much harder for Trump to get any laws passed, after that they have 2 years to go further and win the next election, they will then spend 4 years simply undoing all the damage that can be undone.
Of course in 4 years there may not be an election as Trump has suggested or implied that there may not be an election.

"A retired science teacher said she was concerned the panels would prevent plants in the area from growing"
The above may be a valid point, however they have now invented solar panels that allow the light wavelengths needed for plants through, while capturing the light wavelengths needed for the panels to work efficiently. So this is now less of a concern.
Even then as the Earth moves rotation and orbits the sun then I guess there will be periods where the grass the panels are on will also capture sunlight, even livestock can graze this grass (which keeps the grass trim at least).
So conern raised, problem has been solved.
As for the headline comment there is no some people I guess.

I am sure a lot of it is more about winning votes before elections, Labour has said it won't raise income taxe, it could have said it won't raise taxes for lower income earners, freeing them up to raise taxes for higher income earners. They have not said anything about income tax thresholds, so a huge numnber of NHS and rail workers are about to get an inflation busting pay rise, so unless the tax thresholds are adjusted they may find they pay more tax on that upper slice of income.

Can we ask the question about what Britons think to the resonse to the riots, My response to the riots it is shows the worst of humanty and that racism and division can't win.
My Response to my question is that the way we as a country responded is to band together and tell the racists their opnions / views are welcome if presented in the right way, as in share concerns with pen to paper (so to speak) and express concerns that way, Violence won't get you what you want. (I hope that reads as I intended here) The riots also showed the best side, by providing hours of self made footage the rioters have booked them a date before a Judge and a stay at his majesties pleasure, so thank you for doing that, we can get you off the street.
Our response also highlights how, as a multi cultural country, we can band together and show love and support for our fellow human beings, burn a library down and we will raise funds to rebuild and refill the library, while challening the nonsense behind why it was burned down (kids section books were replaced with the quoran). Loot shops and damage property we will band together and clean up, we will meet en masse to counter your violent so called protests (aka riots) and send a louder, more united message.

I guess it is different depending on your view point but I guess
a grounding in Mathematics is important, I will say Language as everyone needs to understand their native language well (hence lets not say English here)
Science teaches critical thinking skills
Debating
Research skills
Problem solving
Personal finance, budgeting, taxation
even things like cooking is important,
How democracy and other government systems work, how are they similar how do they differ
We do have religious educaiton in the UK, so learning about different religions
A lot of the time education is not seen as relevant, I read somewhere that unless you are studying Physics, then most of what is taught in maths is never used in your life.
How about criminal justice,
How to engage with MPs and or representatives
Having a class representative is good, vote on who that is, vote on school issues, get involved with some decision making within the school through voting, and yes you may vote in favour of something and not get that, well that is how voting works.
Accepting defeat, picking your self up and carrying on.
Activism is also important, but it is also important to be informed so you can make solid arguments to your cause.
I don't have all the answers here, but there are core subjects that make the rest a lot easier, if you learn to read / comprehend information you can learn more by reading and communicating with others. so how to ask questions is another one perhaps.

I think there is some consencus on here that good solid education is the key to tackling all sorts of problems.

Is it 'just' racism, we have a problem telling people their behaviour is not acceptable becase we don't want to 'hurt their feelings' there was a time when NO meant NO, STOP meant STOP but that means we deny expression.
We need to EDUCATE people in schools and not worry about making people upset, learning about the holocaust is not meant to be 'nice' history is not all fluffy and nice, lets start making some things COMPULSORY in schools and clamp down in schools on behaviour that demonstrates hated or incites hatred and discrimination.

They should be invited as a reminder of what happens when these weapons are used.

One of them has a history of violent behaviour. I am guessing a persons history e.g previous convictions vs no previous convictions is a factor.
If they were smirking before lets see how many of them are smirking after.
I still agree on the JSO thing, perhaps under the circumstances the JSO five will be releasted to free up space for people who are clearly a danger to society.

We need to start targeting the people behind these scams in the same way as we are going after these rioters, don't tell me that social media is behind these scams, so another reason to clamp down on social media in a very robust way too.

The rioters are made up of people of all ages, includingj children and there are quite a few WOMEN in there too. Shows the reach of social media, inflience of the far right and a culmination of what is being reported in the press e.g DailyFail, and the level of racism and hatred in the UK, or it demonstrates a serious lack of education or intelligence of some people. Not sure which.

Even at lower levels there is a problem, I have heard of testing etc. I think people are under a huge amount of pressure, coaches and managers can lose their job after one or two losses, players pick up injuries and need to recover, for that they need medication that may or may not at that time contained banned substances.
While this is fine for recovery they need to be clean for competing.
Some medication can also mimick hormones, such as testosterone or oestrogen, this then causes additional problems.
I watched a program last year or maybe the year before. A person had consumed a bagette, that had on it poppy seeds, After being tested for drugs at work (routine in some work places) and FAILED the test for opium, so they had not even taken illegal drugs, just consumed food.
It seems to be a really complex state of affairs.

Ridiculous that this happens and that people think AI is the next big thing. It is BS in the wrong hands and meta is the wrong hands
