@DHSCgovuk Can you confirm whether being on the shielded patient list means eligibility for vaccine? I received a letter today for first time stating I’m clinically extremely vulnerable and should shield but I’ve also been told I’m not yet a priority for vaccine #ConflictingInformation
@hughosmond@MartinDaubney While it’s trendy & convenient to demonise public workers, the perverse is true - they have no automatic right to furlough and many are working through juggling childcare & pay stagnation, with annual leave cancelled etc. I’m not sure what you gain from perpetuating this idea?
@Independent He’s speaking sense on this. We all want to protect our elderly, but if we want to protect them longer term we have to vaccinate the “superspreaders” not those shielding away indoors dutifully. NHS workers, students, delivery drivers - that’s where we need to go next.
@NimesTadpole @ukminority2060 @BobMaso41285065 @InspectorDarren That’s about “culture” and “values” not “race”. Otherwise explain that to the kids raped by Jimmy Savile & his mates, & check what “race” most of those convicted with paedophilia crime are? It would be all too easy to say brown: bad, white: good but it’s not that simple mate soz
@NimesTadpole @ukminority2060 @BobMaso41285065 @InspectorDarren Humanity is more mixed than mainstream history acknowledges. Tbf Europe lost any claim to ethnic hegemony when it conquered 1/4 of the globe. There are minority communities that thrive & are proud of their cultures. And there are ppl who choose to mix. We can all coexist.
@NimesTadpole @ukminority2060 @BobMaso41285065 @InspectorDarren Well, I see you are someone who identifies as both Scottish & French: making you someone of mixed heritage, who is of course most welcome in the UK. First & foremost you are a human being. You may fraternise & procreate with other FrancoScots if you so wish so what’s the problem?
@NormanBrennan And what drives these crimes? You have to dig a little deeper if you really want to fix the problem. Is it just “race” or is there any link with poverty? Also it’s a predominantly male and youth offence but I rarely see anyone calling out those characteristics for attention 🤔
@MrMiyag08320124@AndreaCoombes1 @JacqBev @talkRADIO When you think about it - half “caste” (or half “pure” to use the Hindi origins) is a disgraceful way to describe a person. How it became common in British discourse is baffling. Putting ppl into categories based on some perceived difference in their skin/ DNA is outdated & lazy
@thisislaurat@wayotworld “I hate” “I hate” “I hate”. So much hate. So much “othering”. So much ego. Maybe learn to loosen up, love the world & the people in it?
@RichieHayes2@MayorofLondon We’ve been a diverse city since the Romans rowed up the Thames in 55 BC. Most Londoners embrace diversity. We live in one of the most beautiful, vibrant cosmopolitan, forward thinking places on Earth. It seems that people from the shires & full of hate & envy for London IMo
@Sean40393189@MayorofLondon You seem to have a rather selective view of “English” history. You do realise we’ve traditionally been a seafaring nation, with cultural exchange to the many far corners of the globe?
@TheSolarShed@DawnButlerBrent@Zezzed Decent police officers want change & won’t be put off by receiving feedback on the PUBLIC SERVICE they provide - indeed, decent officers welcome that feedback from the communities they serve, learn from it, & improve. No one has a job free from reproach or accountability.
@Dad_will_fix_it@Keir_Starmer but how if summer schemes are closed and grandparents are shielding? Do we chain them to the bedposts and go to work? What this means is a whole lot of people taking annual leave and unpaid parental leave to care for children. Not the great get back to work scheme the govt claims
@HoggSupremacy@Michonskye@WMPolice I’d feel more sorry for the kids of ppl who don’t care that they so full of hate at such a young age and do nothing to help them
@HoggSupremacy@Michonskye@WMPolice If my child sent hateful msgs to ppl, I would. An arrest doesn’t mean prosecution. The ppl who see those msgs don’t know they‘re from a 12yr old, & they can be really frightening. Age of crim responsibility is 10. I’d also wonder if social services should be involved tbh
