Britain Lacks Talent #ITVDebate
Who don't ITV just cut the mics when the speakers over-run?
Imagine if Newsnight had done the Prince Andrew interview using audience questions.

Broadcasters should trust their journalists to ask the best questions - otherwise why are they paying them?

This is ridiculous.

A judge has sentenced an activist who threw tomato soup in the National Gallery to two years in jail.

The same judge decided not to jail a policeman who gave a drunk woman a lift in his patrol car, then had sexual contact with her. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
I'm sorry, but the suggestion that children would be upset by soup being thrown on a painting is laughable. And suggests that Judge Chris Hehir has never met any children. Image
A reminder that the painting, one of Van Gogh's Sunflowers pictures, was unharmed in the protest. The soup did damage the frame that was bought in 1999. Pearl-clutching about a frame is a weird way to pay tribute to an artist who cut off his own ear.

Disappointing and extreme statement by the chief rabbi.
40,000 Palestinians have been killed. Children are catching polio. A UN court has found Israel in breach of international law. Illegal settlers are seizing West Bank land. You can support Israel, but it is deeply sad that, for a faith leader, none of this merits a mention. Image
Also not mentioned - There is a deal on the table that would save the lives of the remaining hostages, but Netanyahu won't take it, despite the advice of his security chiefs.

We all support non-violent protestors in Iran. What about in the UK?
In the week that the government approved a new coal mine, I went to the trial of Hannah Hunt and Eben Lazarus – the climate activists who glued themselves to John Constable’s Hay Wain
ft.com/content/4a0ab6…
On July 4, Hunt and Lazarus entered the National Gallery. Fellow protestors distracted the security guards. Hunt and Lazarus approached the Hay Wain, taped a dystopian version of the picture on top, and glued themselves to the frame...
They made short speeches about climate change. A video played to the court showed a group of school children cheering, before the gallery was closed. ft.com/content/4a0ab6…

a lot of people get that eating less meat is good for the climate. but many don't realise *how good*

for 50g of protein (recommended daily amount), here are average greenhouse gas emissions
- beef: 25 kg
- cheese: 4 kg
- chicken: 2 kg
- peas: **0.2 kg**

the difference is huge!
or take how much land is required, which really matters to stop both climate change and the loss of wild animals.

for 2,000 calories (RDA for women), here is the land used:

- lamb: 233 m²
- cheese: 50 m²
- pork: 15 m²
- peas: *4.3 m²*
- tofu: **2.6 m²**

an order of magnitude!
these figures are brilliantly presented by Our World in Data: ourworldindata.org/environmental-…

and yes, there are differences in how the meat is produced, but they don't change the picture. (indeed, if you want high-welfare chicken, that will normally mean more land and more emissions)
