Basic income could put food banks out of business

Soaring income inequality has drastically increased food poverty in the UK. UBI could be a silver bullet.

Well yes, obviously...

Sentence for driving while banned after killing six people: 150 hours unpaid work, 12 months supervision and a restriction of liberty order for four months between the hours of 7pm – 7am. glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow

These sentences are the wrong way around, there is something very wrong with the UK.

@kim_harding Protest that prevent people and more importantly emergency vehicles from getting to where they need to be is NEVER a legitimate form of protest. Both of the people in this example should be put in prison.

@kim_harding
I would personally ban most cars from the city centre altogether (just to give you an idea of where I stand).

But the details in the article are rather less dramatic than the headline suggests: the man drove twenty (20) meters to move his car from a car park to the front of his house to load heavy objects. No CCTV or plate-reading camera recorded him driving anywhere else.

I don't think that should send him to jail four 4 years...

Switzerland now requires all government software to be open source

The United States remains reluctant to work with open source, but European countries are bolder.

@kim_harding I can't understand why this quote is attached to a pic of a BRITISH #train & still doing the rounds on social media. The #UK has got the WORST record in terms of #publictransport investment, let's not even talk about #HS2, about how much it costs to go from London to Cornwall, or how impossible it is to do 200km between 2 points away from the capital. It's woeful, if not criminal. Please stop using #Macca to pretend #Tories did anything other than DESTROY public transport.

@kim_harding@mastodon.scot Saw this on an FB post, and naturally, lots of negative comments followed, most of which I assume came from North Americans.
