The Spin

The Court of Appeal's decision to overturn the High Court's shameful capitulation to far-right intimidation is a crucial victory for justice and fairness. Yet, unsurprisingly, this decision will be manipulated by the far-right to encourage even more hatred and violence. Compassion and care must continue to prevail over those seeking to divide Britain.

First, the Bell Hotel was closed by a former Conservative activist, and now it is has been reopened by three judges with close ties to Labour. However you look at it, it is clear the British legal system is nothing more than a veil for party political interests.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 31% chance that Labour will reduce small boat crossings in the English Channel by at least 50% during the current parliamentary term, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
