Is this due to mis-information generally ? Seems the media (esp dailyfail) will take a small survey of information and extrapolate fromk that a much wider (and inaccurate) picture,l we also see figures in a mixed format, for example
x % of respondants said yes
2/3 of respsondants said No
Rather than sharing the information in a connsistant way.
‘People tend to think there are more immigrants in their country than there really are.
In the US, for example, the average person believes that 33% of people were not born there. However, official estimates from government agencies show that the figure is just 15%...
In Japan, people guess that 10% of the population are immigrants, but the accurate figure is around 2%.’
It needs to be a wake up call to opposition parties, Tories, LibDems and reform along with others to get their act together and provide real opposition to the Labour government.
I have still not seen much about AMOC other than here, so firstly I thank Professor Stefan Rahmstor for raising awareness. I have seen about the Jet Stream collapsing, which according to the daily fail could plunge the UK in to very cold conditions.
I am concerned about either or both of these systems collapsing.
I will try and share and boost about this. My site is down at the moment.
Here is Professor Stefan Rahmstorf presentation to the Arctic Council earlier this month on whether the AMOC is Shutting Down? - Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
AMOC shutting down could have a catastrophic impact on Northern Europe including more extreme weather events, but also on sealevels along north American coast, and global impacts with changes in precipitation.

With any luck, if he does the authorities will stop pussy footing around and haul him and cronies who try in to court and put them in prison for a long time. Once his minions realise they will DIE in prison due to following Trump they won't be happy with trump either.

yeah, esp as I am sure some people have cast their vote early
On the other hand an I feel insurrection is probably a real possibility if Trump loses, he tried it before, he will try again.
A few yeas ago, there was some sort of hearing thing, where they looked at if it was an insurrection, at the time it was suggested the death penality for insurrection is still on the statuate books, since the civil war.

Via @emptywheel :
If Harris loses it will be 85% the fault of various corners of the media. This is not remotely a question.
Perhaps people need to carry a copy of the document that describes what antisemitism is, and that the definition of antisemitism does not include beign critical of Israel.
