It is both depressing and also pathetic; the stupidity of jumping on a broken bandwagon. You can be sure that not a single one of these people understands or has even asked for an explanation of the decision, let alone actually read it.

There was never a good reason to demonise asylum seekers or unpick international human rights.

But you couldn't pick a much worse time than now. Open war across the middle east. Ukraine. Democratic collapse across Sehal. Tensions in Serbia. Putin. Possible Trump 2 >

I’m really feeling the loss of Newsnight. Leaves a huge gap in the TV schedules for reports that go into more depth than a news segment, without the long lead time and investment required for a full Panorama-style investigation.

John O'Farrell quite right to ask why does BBC keep following Daily Mail lines allowing their bias to affect national agenda.... I love Beeb and have made this point privately too.

With a backlog of 66k+ serious criminal cases it’s literally incredible that a single hour of court time is being wasted on prosecuting a 69-year old for holding a placard advising jurors of their rights prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/6570…

Who is Mike Parry and where does he get this drivel? The 2038 Swiss Women who brought the case were assisted in their case by Greenpeace International and the ECHR has nothing to do with the European Union - it is part of the Council Of Europe, which has 46 Contracting States.

The BBC wrongly think that if they pander to the Mail and other right wing rag agenda, the Mail will go a bit easy on them. Pathetic. Well done John O'Farrell calling it out. Same theme my The New European - Think Without Borders column this coming week.

Simon Oldridge Excellent thread Simon.

Changing land use in the UK is critical, both ecologically and economically.

Compared to European peers, we use our land extraordinarily badly:

- Highest % of agricultural land
- Low food yield per capita
- Least forest cover
- Cramped housing

Etc
