Martin ShiptonFar-right activists who were planning to incite racial hatred by exploiting a false narrative about the Southport dance class murders have called off a demonstration they had announced for Saturday August 3. Swansea-based Stan Robinson and Dan Morgan used their “Voice of Wales” Facebook blog to encourage people to attend a “vigil” outside the Senedd. In fact the suspect was born in Cardiff to parents who had migrated from Rwanda, a country that is not Islamic. Subsequently there has been disorder in parts of London and Hartlepool, in the north east of England, again apparently organised by racists spreading the false narrative that the Southport suspect was a Muslim. DerisoryThe Voice of Wales duo latched onto the misinformation to promote the “vigil” they said would take place in Cardiff on Saturday.

Higher education financing in the UK’s four nations has increasingly diverged during two-and-a-half decades of devolution but it remains “highly political and consistently unstable” across all areas, regardless of the direction taken, a new report says. Instead leaders experience uncertainty and unintended outcomes, says James Miller, principal of the University of the West of Scotland. A quarter of Northern Ireland’s students also leave to study in other UK countries, facing much higher fees than their peers. While this may “bear fruit”, Baroness Wolf writes, “at present there is very little higher education in Welsh colleges, and little obvious sign of a unified sector emerging”. Overall, she says, the difficulties faced by all four systems shows a lack of “any easy solutions” and strengthens “the case for serious structural change”.

Scottish footballing legend Graeme Souness has never been one to shy away from controversy, including when he signed Maurice Johnston for Rangers in 1989.

Aug 02, 2024 19:00:00It has been revealed that Google has been listing unrelated restaurant information in search results as contact information for its UK headquartersZoe Wood, a correspondent for The Guardian, has reported that for several years, the phone number and address of her restaurant had been listed incorrectly as the way to contact Google's UK headquarters. According to Wood, when searching for 'Google UK headquarters contact information' on Google from around 2020, the phone number and address of his restaurant were displayed. 'Google has advised me to use the feedback buttons below the search results when I contacted them, but no matter how many times I tried, the situation has not improved.'

Without mandatory independent assessments of a candidate’s fitness, all we have is the voluntary release of letters from the candidate’s personal physician. The physician is well known for praising Trump’s “incredible genes.” In 2016, a letter was released apparently written by Trump’s previous personal physician, Harold Borstein, a gastroenterologist. On both sides of the political aisle, plenty of health professionals take to the media to share their medical guessworkSuch speculation is unhelpful. The best way to move beyond sycophantic letters from personal physicians and the gossipy musings of cable news medical contributors is to have a standardized, independent, transparent, multi-disciplinary assessment of the presidential candidates by a non-partisan body that commits to publishing the results. The idea of forming a standing medical commission to conduct this kind of assessment has been around for three decades.
