Where is the push to actively reject the unconscious bias bunkum? There is almost no evidence that unconcious bias dictates real-world, discriminatory behaviour, or that "unconscious bias training" effectively changes anything for better long term.

There is no actual evidence that there is any such thing as this sort of form of unconcious bias. That bias can exist is undeniable. Cognitive psychology acknowledges that implicit biases are natural, and perhaps that may explain why I see this as socially divisive bullshit.

On Saturday, after nearly a century, the long-wave transmitter at Droitwich fell silent, and the two old masts at Westerglen and Burghead with it. Most people won't have noticed. But something left the country on Saturday worth marking before it slips out of memory as well as off the air: the Shipping Forecast, in the form millions have grown up with, one of the primi among British institutions, read out on long wave to the fishing fleets and the insomniacs and anyone else still awake at the rim of the day. If you've ever heard it, you know the odd power of the thing. "Viking, North Utsire, South Utsire, Forties, Cromarty" - a litany of sea areas most listeners will never lay eyes on, in a cadence that hasn't altered in generations, read with the calm of a voice that assumes you are out there somewhere in the dark and means to see you home. It carried far more than the weather. It was among the last things the whole of Britain still heard at the same hour: the same words, the same rhythm, meaning the same thing to a trawlerman off Rockall and a sleepless accountant in Surrey. A aesthetic paradigm of our culture; supreme utility and sublime superfluity. A country that now shares almost nothing in common still shared that. And there's a stranger fact again, one that lifts the whole business clear of nostalgia. By long-standing account, the Royal Navy's nuclear-missile submarines, hidden somewhere beneath the Atlantic with the nation's last deterrent aboard, used Radio 4 on long wave as one of their signs of life from home. If the broadcasts kept coming, Britain was still there. If they ever stopped, and stayed stopped, the commander was to open the sealed letter the Prime Minister had written out by hand, and learn what his country wished of him in a world that no longer contained it. The same mild signal that told a fisherman the wind in Dogger was, by that account, a pulse the end of the world would have been measured against. It is fitting, and bleak, that a broadcaster which has spent years forgetting who it was ever for should choose this, of all things, to switch off. The BBC never seems short of money for the things it wants to do. It decided the cost of the old signal was no longer worth bearing, and silenced the one transmission that asked nothing of anybody and reassured everybody. The fishermen, the old, the sleepless, the men under the sea - none of them were an audience it cared to keep. The forecast itself survives in other forms, on other frequencies; this is not the end of it. But the signal that carried it for a hundred years, and the idea it quietly stood for - that a nation is a thing held together by small shared rituals, faithfully kept, that ask nothing and bind everyone - that has fallen silent, and it fell without a fight. We let these things go one at a time, each too small to defend on its own, until we glance up and find there is nothing left that we all still do together. How many more will we let go? How many more will you let go?

😳 Cocaine production hits a record: the world is producing four times more than it did a decade ago. According to the UN's World Drug Report 2026, around 4,100 tonnes of pure cocaine were produced worldwide in 2024 — the highest level ever recorded. Cannabis remains the world's most widely used drug, with the number of users rising by 40% over the past 10 years. The world is drowning in drugs faster than ever before.

Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 an hour. A Freddo cost 10p. One hour of work bought you 50 Freddos. In 2026, minimum wage is £12.71 and a Freddo is 39p. One hour of work now buys you just 32 Freddos. So despite minimum wage more than doubling, your Freddo buying power has fallen by 36%. If wages had actually kept pace with Freddo inflation, minimum wage would be £19.65 an hour today. Forget economists. Forget politicians. The Freddo has just delivered the most depressing cost of living graph you'll ever see.

Best POV ever 🐕

1% of people account for 63% of all violent crimes. 0.2% of people ever commit murder, and **67% of all murders**are committed by people with prior arrests You can literally just fix crime by not tolerating people who show a history of being destructive to society.

The same thing happened to me when my dad was dying at home! Palliative nurses had given him 3 of the 5 doses of Anticipatory Medication we had & were worried it wouldn’t last the night, nearest late pharmacy was in an Asda a few miles away, I offered to go to save them the journey, my husband stayed with my dad & I went as I knew the way Travelling along a dual carriageway like a guided missile, blue lights appeared behind😳 I pulled over, explained the situation- he asked to see the prescription- commented that it was Morphine & Midazolan! Follow Me! If I hadn’t been so stressed I would have enjoyed following blue lights! We pulled into the car park & I rushed into the store, told the pharmacist I thought I was going to miss him? No you’re fine a police officer warned me you were coming I left clutching the medicine & he was sitting on his bonnet - I thanked him & he just shrugged it off….. we’re here to help as well as Nick people! Are you going back to Bill Quay? ( My dads) Yes Follow me I know a better way I followed at a sedate pace through a maze of streets & was back at my dad’s in minutes He flashed his lights, waved & was off He could have prosecuted me for speeding but chose to help me at a very difficult time in my life #HeWasATrueOfficer #ServeAndProtect
