You are being lied to about Amsterdam.
Israeli football hooligans attacked local residents and property, and loudly chanted and sang genocidal bile.
The Western media and politicians stripped all this context away - and engaged in rampant, shameless, unhinged deceit.

ALT This prescient Research Agenda explores how comparative law has developed significantly in this century, offering insights into different perspectives on its scope, methods and outlook. It addresses the similarities and differences between legal systems and traditions, expressing why pluralistic methodology strengthens comparative law as a discipline.

The @FT, almost alone of big UK media houses, calls for Netanyahu to be reigned in. Sadly the hopeless Biden administration shows no sign of doing so, sinking Kamala Harris's bid for younger votes in the process...

Genuinely so refreshing to hear a British-based billionaire speak about the 'patriotic' benefits of paying their taxes.
You watching, Charlie Mullins?

The tabby cat is a winner.
What's the connection between the practical and symbolic purposes of law? Professor @Fernanda_Pirie examines legal systems through history to argue that the creation of law, like ritual, represents an imagined world. Here it is in @UChicago’s @haujournal! buff.ly/4eqVp45

Telling people what to eat is the dumbest hill ever for environmentalists to die on
You simply lose
And alienate everyone
The ‘plant based diet’ stuff is not even well thought-through
In agricultural terms it’s often nonsensical - we need more livestock in crop systems
Very pleased that HAU has published my article on "Law as ritual" - a comparative exploration of some very early laws! journals.uchicago.edu/eprint…

We are basically in a system where both potential governing parties are committed to undermining and stripping investment from farming/food production and nature recovery
Handing it to a wilder and less regulated and moderated global market

Aviation emissions are booming. With climate targets looming, you would expect governments to act. And yet they don't - if anything they work to make sure that emissions increase even further. But why?
The answer is in @verahuwe_'s new article (THREAD) doi.org/10.1080/09692290.202…

‘Strangling the economy to “balance the books” is as economically literate as burning down a factory to save on heating bills.’

I applaud the Prime Minister for calling for honesty in politics but if we now face tax hikes & cuts to public services to fill a £20bn black hole in the public finances we must have an honest discussion about the negative impact of Brexit & the role it has played in creating it

So so sad to write this. RIP dear Jim. Prof James Scott was a brilliant engaged scholar, surprisingly consistent/persistent in analysis, who married pol science & ethnography in the best way, & who deeply influenced my own thinking/scholarship. Importantly, he was a kind person.

I am proud to work alongside the other independent MPs, I undersigned this letter on behalf of my constituents.
We need clear and decisive action to fulfil our obligations as the United Kingdom under international law.
I sincerely hope the government pay heed to avoid even more devastation in Gaza.
