I enjoy almost anything Carl Sagan said.

If Brexit had never happened…

…we’d be much wealthier, with more investment in public services, better trade - and with our parliament & govt having spent the last decade doing far more productive things.

We need a free press It’s vital for democracy that we receive verifiable information that is not manipulated or controlled

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation…

The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media”

We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

In ‘Feeds’ there is an option to follow just ‘Mentions’
Head to Feeds and search for Mentions.

@trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social My #Fediverse feed is quite diverse; good to encourage bridging in both directions so that all of us can reach more readers. Worth highlighting #bridgy to your network on #Bluesky?
