Le Monde: The plastics lobby's disinformation campaign to defend PFAS
An investigation reveals that the plastics industry's arguments against banning PFAS are largely false and misleading. The campaign, which claims that banning these substances would lead to socio-economic disasters, is backed by extensive lobbying from various industry sectors.
The proposed "universal restriction" on PFAS, initiated by several European countries, has prompted a significant lobbying effort to counteract the ban. The industry's claims about the necessity of PFAS for various sectors are being scrutinized for accuracy and reliability.

GB News: ‘More bloodshed on the streets': Ex-cop slams police for 'being 'scared of their own shadows' over 'cultural sensitivities'
Weapons arrests by the Metropolitan Police have dropped nearly a third, coinciding with a surge in knife crime in London. Former Scotland Yard detective Peter Bleksley attributes this decline to police hesitance influenced by cultural sensitivities, leading to increased violence.
Bleksley emphasized the need for a more aggressive approach to policing, particularly in addressing known offenders. This criticism is echoed by findings from the Hydrant Programme, which revealed significant gaps in data regarding child exploitation suspects and highlighted the importance of a robust response to all cases, regardless of the perpetrator's background.
