Was the use of violence on January 6th Capitol attacks legitimate? Is the use of violence morally justified by members of Extinction Rebellion or Just Stop Oil campaigners? Justifying Violent Protest: Law and Morality in Democratic States (Routledge, 2023) addresses these issues head on, to make a radical, but compelling argument in favour of the legitimate use of violence in protest in liberal democracies. Grounded in theories of constitutional morality, the book makes the case that when states make illogical or unjust laws, citizens have morally justifiable reasons to disobey. Violence can act as moral dialogue - both expressively and directly - to denounce unjust laws, particularly in cases where civil disobedience does not go far enough. This book considers recent protest movements, of which the use of violent protest has been central to citizens demands. It examines the activism of the Hong Kong pro-democracy protests, Extinction Rebellion, Black Lives Matter movement, and other contemporary international movements. This book could not be more timely. In a world where citizens' rights to protest are being increasingly curtailed, and climate destruction is becoming an increasing matter of urgency, Greenwood-Reeves addresses the legitimacy of violent protest and ultimate importance in upholding liberal democracy.

Many political viewers in Virginia were gearing up to watch the 2026 U.S. Senate race between State Senator Bryce Reeves and long-time incumbent Sen. Mark Warner.

We sit down with Reeves to talk about what brought him to step out of the contest, what happens next, and what will happen in January when the General Assembly convenes.

In this episode, the gang tries to do too many things at once (as usual): shoplift food from the boutique grocery store where they've been holed up, exfiltrate said grocery store without detection (despite Scrutinizer Zac having already alerted mall security), avoid their doppelgangers, *and* conclude their conclave examining Richard Linklater's 2006 feature adapting Philip K. Dick's 1977 novel "A Scanner Darkly." Sounds like a lot for one episode, and it kind of is... But we're certain you folks will love this one because the post-summary analysis is absolutely dynamite this episode. As usual, Cinquisitor Ethan has too much to say -- especially about Dick.

My podcast "Night Club Musical" is based off me mixing tunes to an imaginary Broadway Musical using the newest/latest "electronic" vocal tracks that try to tell a story. "Developing Story" hits a little different. It's a story as old as time. This is 15 loving and heartbreaking short stories told by amazing artists, but combined to tell a complete story using my vision. Setting: Beginning with the early morning hours capturing the tranquil and hopeful feeling of morning just before sunrise. It's a new day full of potential. Now you're stuck in the moment, remembering when love was new, and giving perspective to your memories and the lasting impact and experiences that new love gave us. I associate the beach with feeling carefree, laughter and love. That's why a lot of Carribbean sounds were chose for this mix. I also used tracks with a bit of orchestral components for the dramatic effect- like swaying with the wind or going where the waves take you. It gives the overwhelming feelings of being in a passionate relationship and getting lost in the moment, where it makes it easy to be vulnerable- where you surrender your feelings hoping they see the real you, even if it means being exposed and screaming it from the mountaintop. You're on cruise control, but this is where the story takes a turn- think "The Last American Virgin" for those of us that are old enough to remember, but with a complete crescendo ending to the climax. This mix was made over a one week time period between 3am- 5am. I wanted to a have a clear mind so everyone could feel the beauty and soundscapes of electronic music and how it tells its Developing Story.
What’s in a name? Everything — when that name is Jesus. In this final week of our Christmas series, A Christmas Carol, Pastor Ron Merrell unpacks the true meaning behind the name above every name — Jesus, Immanuel, “God with us.” From the promises of Isaiah to the angel’s message to Joseph, we’re reminded that Christmas isn’t just about knowing about God, but knowing Him personally. Discover how the name “Jesus” reveals God’s heart to save, how “Immanuel” means you’re never alone, and why there is no other name that brings salvation, hope, and peace. “Jesus” means “God saves.” “Immanuel” means “God with us.” This Christmas, experience both — the saving grace and the abiding presence of the One who came for you. #AChristmasCarol #PastorRonMerrell #ConnectionPointeChurch #ChristmasAtConnectionPointe #Immanuel #JesusSaves #GodWithUs #NameAboveAllNames #FaithInChrist #BibleTeaching #BrownsburgChurch NEXT STEPSHave you made a decision to follow Jesus and now wondering what your next step is?

2025-12-17 | UPDATES #081 | The clock is ticking for Abramovich and his Chelsea Billions. How much, why now and what it means. Three and a half years. That's how long £2.5 billion — money publicly promised for Ukraine — has sat frozen in a UK bank account after Roman Abramovich's forced sale of Chelsea. Today, Keir Starmer has finally stopped treating it like an awkward footnote and started treating it like what it is: a test of state power in a full-scale hybrid war.

What if God is working while you’re waiting? In week two of our Christmas series A Christmas Carol, Pastor John S. Dickerson reminds us through the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth that waiting is never wasted when God is involved. Even when it feels like your prayers have expired or your time has passed, God is still faithful — working behind the scenes in ways you can’t yet see. Discover how God works in your waiting to grow your faith, how His timing is always perfect, and how your story can bring hope to others who are still waiting. “God is at work in your waiting. You should be too.” No matter how long it’s been or how far things seem, His promises are still alive — and His blessings are worth the wait. #AChristmasCarol #PastorJohnSDickerson #ConnectionPointeChurch #ChristmasAtConnectionPointe #WaitingOnGod #FaithInTheWaiting #HopeInChrist #BibleTeaching #BrownsburgChurch #ChristianFaith #GodsTiming

This week: Rachel Reeves reels as Labour's Budget unravels – and a far-left Life of Brian sequel plays out in Liverpool.After a bruising seven days for the Chancellor, Michael and Maddie ask whether Reeves's position is now beyond repair. Did Keir Starmer's bizarre nursery press conference steady the ship – or simply confirm that the government is panicking? And is the resignation of the OBR chair a shield for Reeves – or a damning contrast with her refusal to budge?Then: the inaugural conference of Your Party delivers pure comic gold. As Zarah Sultana's collective-leadership utopians clash with Corbynite diehards and Islamist independents, Michael explains why the far left's civil war matters more than Westminster thinks. Could independents erode Labour's urban base? And with Jeremy Corbyn now looking like the centrist dad of the movement, what does this chaos tell us about the future of the British left?And finally: Christmas is coming. Maddie and Michael share their rules for 'sound' gift-giving and give their book recommendations.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.To submit your urgent questions to Michael and Maddie, go to spectator.co.uk/quiteright Hosted on Acast.

With Budget week finally at an end, certain mysteries remain. Chief among them is why the Chancellor decided to give an emergency speech preparing the public for a rise in income tax.On 4 November, Rachel Reeves summoned journalists to Downing Street early in the morning to warn that ‘the productivity performance we inherited is weaker than previously thought'. She then refused to rule out hiking income tax rates – sending a clear signal to markets that rises were coming. Nine days later, however, the Treasury let it be known via the FT that income tax increases would not be needed after all. When the gilt market reacted badly – assuming Reeves had abandoned fiscal tightening – Bloomberg was quickly briefed that the U-turn was due to a more favourable picture from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) watchdog.Now that the dust has settled, however, the facts don't support any of this. For starters, despite Reeves's comments about the weak ‘productivity performance', there was no productivity-related black hole to plug. It wasn't that the downgrade to productivity growth was milder than expected – in fact it was severe, amounting to £16 billion. But this was more than offset by a £31 billion increase in expected tax receipts, driven by persistent inflation pushing up wages and making the economy more ‘tax rich'. The result: no black hole at all. Before her Budget measures were included – the benefits U-turns and spending increases – Reeves was actually sitting on a £4 billion surplus against her fiscal rules. She didn't technically need to do anything.To discuss the black hole mystery, Megan McElroy is joined by Tim Shipman and Michael Simmons. They also cover new data on the UK's brain drain, and assess whether the figures should be a cause for concern.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

From the BBC World Service: The U.K. government's economic outlook response document was accidentally published a half hour early on Wednesday, before Finance Minister Rachel Reeves began her 2025 budget speech. Reeves set out a string of tax hikes, which will bring the country's tax take to an all-time high of 38% of GDP in the coming years. Plus, we take a look at why U.S. investors have soccer in their sights.
Coco and Nish listened to Rachel Reeves' budget so you don't have to. But hang on, we could all have skipped the speech and read it online. Someone screwed up big time, pressing a button and releasing the budget before Reeves even stood up. That cock up was possibly the most exciting thing about Labour's second budget. A bit vanilla for you? Too much tax for ordinary workers? Too little for the wealthy? Journalist Zoë Grünewald tells Pod Save The UK why this budget might have done enough to pacify the Labour backbenches by lifting the two child benefit cap while soothing the markets with tax and spend plans... Dr Faiza Shaheen, Director of Tax Justice UK, was hoping for bolder action on wealth taxes, but she spots some reasons to be cheerful in the mix. In other news, Nigel Farage gets rattled by questions about his past. Nish and Coco enjoy the novelty of seeing him squirm but wonder if it will harm his electoral chances. And bring a bottle and bury the hatchets, can 'Your Party' make this weekend their kiss and make up moment? Send in your questions for Nish and Coco and they'll answer them in our mailbag special.
