The UK government is groping for an excuse to ban a march in London in support of Palestine and Palestinians.

Instead of overtly banning the march, the justice minister called on the organizers to cede to the recommendation of the cops, whose recommendation is (naturally) to cancel it. The difference is so subtle that I don't see it makes any difference.

The reason given is that the route of the march goes near a memorial to Britons who died in World War I, where others will meet on that day for mourning. However, it seems that the march stays two miles away from that place.

Some British would-be parents can't afford the fee to maintain and store fertilized embryos they have made.

It is unfair to lure patients into paying many thousands for fertility treatments only to find that additional junk fees make their purchase a waste. These services should quote a full, inclusive price at the outset, so that patients won't start unless they can afford to finish.

Perhaps that full price should include the cost of gestating the embryos and raising the resulting child. That way, a patient won't start to pay the price unless she can count on being able to get to the end.

*Cruise Knew Its Self-Driving Cars Had Problems Recognizing Children — and Kept Them on the Streets.*

I expect that the technology for driverless cars will eventually be perfected so that it drives properly. Especially if governments don't permit them to drive on the street until that is achieved.

But that doesn't imply that these cars will not be designed to injure people in ways other than flaws in driving — such as snooping, tracking, and seizing people.

Privately, Israeli officials recognize that there is no obvious way Israel can destroy HAMAS. And no obvious way to free the hostages except to trade for them.

Labour makes a commitment to push for a Palestinian state.
