We seem to be nearing the heart of the story, and a lot will depend on the nerve of the journalists--NPR, the NYT, etc--to stay on this story relentlessly. Will they give it the same kind of coverage they gave Biden's age--i.e., full bore, around the clock, 50 opeds?

Back then he called out so many examples of Peter Mandleson's clear cut lies. Now wee see the concequence of tolerating this. Can we, as a society, learn the lesson in time?

Its a chilling read: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/696e0e...

For all nine expert talks with Prof @mikebernerslee.bsky.social's introduction and
@chrisgpackham.bsky.social's opening statement, please visit our YouTube page.
www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Please share these talks with your MP, and ask what action they plan to take.
If the National Emergency Briefing had been able to squeeze in another briefing Plastic and other Pollution would have been my top picks. Hereβs why. Two other contenders would be Misinformation and the Psychology of Action.

Here are some of my refelctions jsut adfter the National Emergency Briefing
3οΈβ£ Counter misinformation: Challenge it wherever you see it. It has plagued us for too long.
4οΈβ£ Use Your Power: Ask yourself what is your personal power and influence? Exert it. If you're in a position of influence and can't find the courage to step up, step down and let someone else lead.
1οΈβ£ Sign the Letter: Calling Keir Starmer, major broadcasters, and Ofcom to launch the national TV information campaign this emergency demands. www.nebriefing.org/open-letter-...
2οΈβ£ Share the message: Help us push out the follow-up events, including the briefing film when itβs released next year.
