The public has a right to know if any governments, foreign or domestic organisations or individuals are funding extremism in this country - Diane Abbott

Diane Abbott MP, Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary, responding to the Government’s decision to not publish the extremism funding report in full, said:

“The public has a right to know if any governments, foreign or domestic organisations or individuals are funding extremism in this country, and what the UK government intends to do to prevent that.

“Of course, security intelligence should not be compromised but this is easily achieved by redaction and other means. The Government would never have commissioned this report if it considered this problem insurmountable.

“Instead, there is a strong suspicion this report is being suppressed to protect this Government’s trade and diplomatic priorities, including in relation to Saudi Arabia. The only way to allay those suspicions is to publish the report in full.”

allosaurusrock: Just learned about something very very cool that I’m shocked I didn’t know about before- Paleoburrows. These are giant tunnels, mostly found in Brazil. Over 1,500 of them are documented. It was originally assumed that they were dug by indigenous people, and many of them were repurposed into human shelters at some point, but we now believe they were built by prehistoric megafauna. We know this because of distinct claw marks along the walls of the caverns, unlike anything humans have produced. They come in a variety of sizes. The smaller ones were probably dug by large armadillos, such as Holmesina. The larger could have been dug by giant ground sloths like Glossotherium. Thank you for reading, I just thought this was cool and wanted to share. Sources and credits after the cut Keep reading

tsunamiwavesurfing: Now we know how much it costs to make a $2,800 Dior bag In recent months, Italian authorities raided Dior subcontractor workshops where people were working around the clock, they said. Business Insider The Italian police raided some of LVMH’s Dior suppliers that make luxury handbags. Italian prosecutors found Dior paid $57 to produce bags retailing for $2,780. Italian prosecutors in Milan investigated the LVMH subsidiary Dior’s use of third-party suppliers in recent months. Prosecutors said these companies exploited workers to pump out bags for a small fraction of their store price. Citing documents examined by authorities, Reuters reported last month that Dior paid a supplier $57 to produce bags that retailed for about $2,780. In probes through March and April, investigators found evidence that workers were sleeping in the facility so bags could be produced around the clock, Reuters reported. The probe also said safety devices on gluing and brushing machines were removed so workers could operate them faster. The probe also extended to Giorgio Armani contractors. Armani paid contractors $99 per bag for products that sold for more than $1,900 in stores, according to documents seen by Reuters. The prosecution said violating labor rules was a common industry practice that luxury giants relied on for higher profits.
