I've said before that Britain is afflicted by a triple-humiliation: loss of aristocracy; empire; political/media credibility. Brexit was essentially the last gasp of the British ruling class yelling to the Commonwealth, "Come on chaps, we're leaving," then marching out into the blizzard alone—nude.

Bus vs airplane!

I think we should adopt the same strict regulations from the aviation industry to the ground transportation for better IAQ on buses and other places like metro, boats, etc.

I have some of the worst cO2 readings from coaches! Awful.
We need a bus building revolution

The risk from surfaces is less than 1 in 10,000 of catching COVID. We should handwash for many reasons but this alone WILL NOT protect you from COVID. 🧵

Really great piece. You're right; our society can't look at this properly.
It's too terrifying; it unseats everything we've bought into.

Epstein And The Elite Shadow State The latest Epstein emails and text messages confirm we’re ruled by a supercilious elite, dead of humanity and devoid of moral marrow who’ve carved for themselves a prerogative state operating outside ...

For so long the sanctioned narrative was that Epstein was just a bad apple associating with other bad apples. He wasn’t. Epstein and the elite are the grotesque fruit of a poisoned orchard and we need to uproot every single tree

Police take no further action against men arrested for Trump Windsor projections Investigation ends after Led By Donkeys stunt highlighting the US president’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein

“A Led By Donkeys spokesperson said: “It’s good the police now accept it’s not illegal to project a film about Donald Trump’s close relationship with America’s most notorious child sex trafficker on to a wall.”

It’s only 17 days until #WorldVentil8Day 2025 on 8th Nov. What are you going to do to champion the importance of ventilation and how we can better #CollaborateToVentilate www.worldventil8day.com

Why investment in clean indoor air is vital preparation for the pandemics and climate emergencies to come Unchecked airborne infections cost billions in lost health and productivity each year – likely more than the cost of better ventilation to clean up indoor air.

Such an important piece. The positive momentum behind clean indoor air is palpable. But we’re not there yet as my last post demonstrates. Please read and share and get behind this cause.

Violet Affleck made headlines this week with a powerful speech at the UN. In it, she discussed the importance of masking in limiting Covid transmission

Her speech also gave us insights into how the right-wing/Murdoch media engages with science in the age of Covid

Some thoughts

Thank you! it was an honour to be there.
