A Knight in shining armour?
Fedup2 at Biased BBC notes that the Conservative MP for Solihull, Julian Knight, is campaigning to become the new chair of the Parliamentary Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) select committee in place of "BBC remainer fan" Damien Collins (also re-elected as an MP at the election). Mr Knight wants a Commons inquiry into the future of the BBC because of its 'bias' and for being 'out of touch' with those who pay for it. "It’s worth watching for signs of the real change this site is looking for", Fedup writes. (And this one too). Here's what Mr Knight says: Don’t forget, the B... more »
Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Not everyone gets to throw a treasonous, psychopathic president under the bus. That alone makes Lev Parnas special, but, as actors in other dramas often do, Parnas asked "What's my motivation?" To me, the answer is simple. Lev Parnas found himself in a unique position with unique incriminating information about the criminal actions of people who could either at worst make him disappear, or, at best, use a lawless "Justice" Department to "lock him up" forever. He knew details no one else knew, and those in position above him would naturally fear those details coming out. ... more »

Another dramatic intervention by Lewis
*Newsnight*'s new policy editor Lewis Goodall may have overruled the Government over the House of Lords but he's sticking up for HS2 and dashing my hopes about trains north of Birmingham being improved with money previously allocated to HS2: - £106bn is a lot of money. But it is worth saying that successful infrastructure lasts decades if not centuries and people in 2050 are unlikely to be using HS2 and saying “god, I wonder how much this cost? Might have been a waste of money.” - For example, one of the most successful tube upgrades in recent years was on the ... more »
A dramatic intervention by Lewis
The Government's plans to relocate the House of Lords up north (Morecambe?) took a serious hit yesterday as the BBC's Lewis Goodall came out against it : - NEW: The Lord Speaker has allowed the upper House equivalent of an urgent question about the potential relocation of the House of Lords. Will take place at around 1500. - Their Lordships must be worried. But they probably ought not be. *I suspect the Lords will be the first of a long list of institutions whose relocations will be floated by the government in the name of levelling up but never actually happ... more »
Panorama's John Ware sues the Labour Party for libel

John Ware and some of the whistleblowers featured in the programme are now suing the Labour Party and some of its 'outriders' (gobby people on Twitter no doubt!) for libel.

On Metaphysical Propositions
Philosophy, unlike science, is never fully rational and cannot be founded on purely empirical evidence. Every philosophy assumes certain basic facts which cannot be proved or disproved on the basis of existing knowledge. These basic facts are mostly the metaphysical presuppositions (also known as axioms) which can be based on theological or atheistic rationalizations. Without such presuppositions or axioms, no philosophy is possible.
