Ironic: in order to gain national power to do the bidding of global capital, politicians stir up hatred of "foreigners"

Cant find it😵‍💫. It is probably too soon for any reliable results anyway

I will have a look. Could have misremembered (ageing brain)

Until someone works out how to get monopoly profits from renewables they are constantly going to be attacked by frightened oligarchs.

Exactly

In most other nations, life expectancy trend went back to normal by 2025

NHS doesn't keep these statistics. We have a Govt Stats Office called ONS that does this work.

ONS classify everyone into a social class scheme that measures employment relations & conditions for everyones occupation. It is possible to analyse Covud mortality according to this measure but for some reason has not been done.

Fascinating to contrast earlier news bulletins spending many minutes slagging govt for the delay to the Muscat evacuation flight, then later bulletins having to admit it was nothing to do with govt at all.
