bit rich Beckham getting a knighthood and Nobby Stiles forgotten. whiff of freemasonry

You know that photo Trump waved in front of Ramaphosa and the world press asserting it showed genocide of white farmers in South Africa. #Fake

In fact it was a depiction of femicide in the DRC with Red Cross workers carrying the body bags of women who’d been raped and burned alive there

stay strong and fight 🙏

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

I want more onshore wind farms all over the UK, I’ve campaigned for them my whole life. I would even like a wind turbine in our garden but planning wouldn’t allow it! Peat is a natural carbon store making it a really silly place to put turbines.

UK need to rejoin the EU. Brexit was always a con spun by media barons to support tax evasion for the rich. That cult needs to die. No more fucking around.

Sending a Russian dissent back to Russia to be tortured and/or killed perfectly encapsulates this loathsome administration’s lack of American values.

It winds me up seeing Rooney talk such sense about the game at a high level, yet there's no use of that knowledge at Utd. We hand the reigns to ex players that wouldn't get a sniff at a top club. Doesn't make sense to me.

Bellingham is a Rolls Royce of a player

maybe because our beaches are heavily polluted by the water cos?

You can read more about the terrible decisions happening in the corridors of power, and how Indie SAGE offered an alternative approach here, in Marres and Barragán’s article: 8/8
journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

All of this was why a previous CSA, Sir David King, decided to set up Independent SAGE - to provide open, honest, transparent communication between scientists and the public during this public health crisis 7/8

“At key decision moments in the early phase of the Covid emergency, the UK government chose to rely on the advice of informally assembled experts with positions in the tech industry and long-standing ties to the Conservative party, instead of the official scientific advice prepared by SAGE.” 6/8

The reality was a little different, in fact, as Marres and Barragán write in their new paper… 5/8

The government tried to keep the membership of - and the advice being offered by - its scientific advisory group secret. They essentially told the public they were “following the science” while ensuring the public couldn’t check up on this claim. 4/8

Meanwhile the Chief Scientific Advisor noted that the government was “cherry-picking scientific advice “in order to publicly claim they were following the science” while using scientists as ‘human shields’ to protect politics””3/8

An email from a cabinet secretary on March 11 2020 provides a glimpse of processes inside no10, as he opined: “We are not running a dictatorship here & the PM is not taking nationally significant decisions with a bunch of No10 SpAds and no ministers, no operational experts and no scientists” 2/8

In early 2020, a pandemic was spreading. The UK’s PM went on a 10 day half-term holiday during which he was uncontactable and the government went into panic mode, focusing, as Hancock related to the COVID enquiry, on buying enough body bags. 1/8

Trump’s penthouse suite. Musk partakes in his regular ‘kung fu lesson’ with Ghislaine Maxwell. Jeffrey Epstein, prince Andrew and Trump (who’s asleep on the sofa) are also in attendance. Putin is outside the window filming the scene.

Tory shadow minister rejected calls for mandatory child abuse reporting in 2018 Then-safeguarding minister Victoria Atkins - now a member of Kemi Badenoch's shadow cabinet - said the case for a mandatory reporting duty had "not been made."

Awkward for the Tories who have recently been so energized by grooming gangs

MPs second jobs are institutionalised bribery. They should be banned. 'Preventing MPs from selling their souls to the highest bidder is a necessary step in democratising parliament.'

UK MPs receive annual salary of £91,346 + expenses.

Worker median annual wage is £29,664.

Too many MPs take second Jobs, advance the interests of their corporate paymasters.

People's welfare is secondary to self enrichment.

Must ban all second jobs for MPs.
