Montreal police have launched an investigation into 16 officers who are accused of carrying out 'co-ordinated' racist and hateful acts against Black and Arab people during police stops.

On Friday, the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) announced it dismantled a night patrol unit at Station 39 and removed 16 officers from patrol duties amid accusations of racial profiling and discrimination against Black and Arab people during police stops in the borough.

According to a Radio-Canada source, the officers have been accused of collecting pieces of locs, sometimes called dreadlocks, that had been cut from people during police interventions to keep as "trophies." Radio-Canada also reported that tickets were allegedly issued to citizens solely on the basis of their ethnic background.

Under-16s will be banned from using social media, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced.

Starmer says social media is making children unhappy, making it easier for bullies to abuse children, and is "designed to be addictive". A ban would give children more time, security, and more freedom to grow up - as well as more opportunities, he adds.

"That is all any parent wants. They want to know that Britain will be better for their children, that they will get a fair chance," the PM says in a speech in Downing Street.

Starmer adds that the government is "not prepared to compromise" on the safety and happiness of children - and that includes in the regulation and enforcement of this ban. He says the government has listened to and learned from countries like Australia, where a similar ban has already been introduced.

Just like with everything else, his Art of the Deal leaves us with less than what we had before.

A follow up to my previous meme - https://lemmy.ca/post/58415099

All I've done is stop ordering takeout, stopped making giant suppers an hour before bed and just eat healthier and smaller meals in general. Also I only eat once per day at supper time, so I guess that's intermittent fasting I think? Didn't even plan to do it, but I'm feeling so much better about myself.

Also helps that I've never been a very food motivated person so it's easy for me to ignore my stomach all day until supper. Now if I could just cut out alcohol I would be really happy with how I look. The one thing that's making me stay a bit chubby 😭
