One of the world’s most prestigious general science journals, Nature, was the target of a two-year-long sustained and virulent secret attack by a conspiratorial group of extreme Brexit lobbyists with high-level political, commercial and intelligence connections, according to documents and correspondence examined by Computer Weekly and Byline Times.
The group attempted to have Nature and its staff put under surveillance and investigated by MI5, MI6, the CIA, Mossad, and Japanese and Australian intelligence agencies. They met Cabinet minister Michael Gove and later asked him to arrange phone taps and electronic surveillance. One member of the group led intrusive investigations into the intimate personal life and background circumstances of senior Nature staff the group suspected of “extreme Sinophile views”.
When their campaign flopped and a Covid vaccine promoted by the group failed to reach any form of clinical testing, the group arranged for unfounded accusations against Nature magazines and staff to be published by the Daily Telegraph and on other right wing news sites. They called themselves the “Covid Hunters”. Their allegations against science reporting helped fuel an explosion in “lab leak” claims on right-wing conspiracy sites.

Healthy diet in UK at risk from Mediterranean droughts, experts say
This article is more than 1 month old
Fresh fruit and vegetables from Europe will be more expensive as drought and wildfires shrink suppliesA healthy diet in the UK will be put at risk by climate breakdown as European droughts shrink fresh fruit and vegetable supplies, experts have said.
Fresh produce from the Mediterranean, upon which the UK is reliant, will become more expensive and harder to obtain as extreme heat causes yields to reduce, putting a healthy diet out of reach of the poorest in society, according to a report by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU).
Many foods imported from the Mediterranean cannot be grown in the UK for at least parts of the year, or have to be grown indoors, using more expensive and energy-intensive processes to protect them and heat the growing space. Many cannot be grown in the UK at scale. The former category includes cauliflowers, broccoli and strawberries. It also includes nearly two-thirds of the cucumbers and tomatoes imported to the UK, and nearly a fifth of the overall supply of onions

I know you lot prefer the Guardian newspaper with its "Hug a migrant" policy, but here's something absolutely disgusting:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news…
The article says:
"University students are now in a desperate scramble to find new accommodation after being kicked out a 'luxury' housing block - which is reportedly set to be used by migrants.
Under plans by the Home Office, hundreds of asylum seekers could move into a 405-bed student block in Huddersfield, that features a cinema room and gym.
The government deal means that more than 150 students who had already signed tenancy agreements have been forced to find alternative housing a week before the start of the academic year."
So... the government would rather house people who have broken the law by illegally entering the country than its own students who are paying for their accommodation and have signed contracts.
Students, who arguably are of greater long-term GDP benefit than those that are immediately a drain on taxpayers money, are being thrown to the streets by the government.
What a mess this country is rapidly becoming... oh sorry - old SS is a racist to bring this to attention, whoops sorry, forgot, not allowed to mention boat people being a problemo...

These two tried to snatch an 11 year old girl off the street:
- you really have to stop reading that trashmag. they only focus on the negative side of immigration when in fact the majority just want to earn a livinghans_glib
- and are happy to work hard to do so.hans_glib
- that said the govt response to this is a shower of shite, they're wasting our money by the bucketload trying to look tough and failing,hans_glib
- when they ought to be using all that cash to process these people properly. but that would be going soft on immigrants and we can't have that can we?hans_glib
- Blame the government, not the Guardian lolfadein11
- oh he's still here.pango
- So the story here is the government would rather house migrants than process them and get them onto the job market where they can start paying tax?SlashPeckham
- Mate, are you alright? You keep posting this stuff. Im sure if you posted this on Facebook or Twitter, people would just unfollow you for being miserable fuckIanbolton
- or, the flipside, you'd get more people following you of the same mindset. So maybe share this stuff with your friends if you have any left.Ianbolton
- I'm bored of your constant Daily Mail shitposts like this, and then you come out and play the victim. I'm concerned for you.Ianbolton
- The fact he presumes people of all political persuasions don't accept there is a problem is what's idiotic, he thinks he is enlightening us with his Daily Mailfadein11
- shitposting.fadein11
- anyway, off to hug an immigrant and a tree.fadein11
- Loneliness has followed him his whole life.SlashPeckham

Painting in public often has strange interactions with allsorts of people, over the weekend, I chatted to loads of passers by but towards the end of the sunday night two Polish guys were hanging out, one is a graffiti writer, who's been out of work as a painter and decorator for a while since he broke his leg and his mate said he made trap music.
They both floated in that street drinking weed smoking style, that is mellow enough but I got chatting to them about their living situation, they were sort of homeless, but in edinburgh, there is very few truly homeless people, there's a lot of services that help people so very few people sleep rough.These guys have been staying in B&B's and I found it insane to hear the rent was £400 a week for a room and a shared bathroom, this was in houses with sometimes ten residents.
So the landlord was pulling £20,000 a month from people who were pretty desperate and they had curfews.The trap music guy had got a flat but it seemed such a deliberately confusing process of getting it all sorted out, he was saying it was quite overwhelming.
I had been in the sun all day and managed to get mild heatstroke so had to apologise as my migraine made me vomit out my triple chicken sandwich at full velocity.
The graffiti guy disappeared and I was left hanging out with the trap guy who had a box full of cd's and clothes he'd found in the street. The housing estate he stayed in was miles away so I ended up giving him a lift home.
Made me feel grateful that I have somewhat of a more stable life.
TWENTY FUCKING GRAND A MONTH!
- The B&B thing came in during covid, but has been going on before that, good little deal for the slumlordsPhanLo
