Listening to an Internet Archive podcast and the last episode informed me of this initiative for libraries and memory institutions to endorse this set of four rights as policy guidelines: https://ourfuturememory.org/#rights

It bugs me to see "controlled" access in the phrasing, as I tend to look for words I fear can be used to justify more finance-capitalist exploitation (e.g., DRM), but I hope for the best, as much as I can.

well, well, well.... 40% if those arrested last years summer (anti-migrant) riots were known to the police in relation to domestic violence/abuse & in some cases an even high proportion had been arrested for violent offences.

These are not people with legitimate concerns (see earlier post this morning) these are violent thugs being deployed by the hard right to cause terror.... so Yvette Cooper, how about proscribing these anti-migrant (real) terrorists?

Joan Smith develops the implications of the fact that 40% if those arrested during last years summer (anti-migrant) riots were known to the police in relation to domestic violence/abuse

As she concludes: 'As last summer’s scenes of burning buildings & police cars showed, dangerous men are not choosy about their targets. A year on, the link between private & public violence has never been clearer'!
