@MikeMcSurdy_CVT @GayChemist Same in UK politics. Tories have moved so far right that they should be called the extremist BNP now but most of their voter base hasn't realised it
@NeoPar72@davidpr95530892@carolvorders That's the point, it's not and never will be truly free, because there's no competition. Just like water companies, you can't take your business elsewhere. Nor does cheapest always = best
It looks like you guys are catching up to us in the United States. Around 2014 a whole mess of scandals here broke about pharma companies doing first phase one drug testing on homeless people and he poor. I assume the more that the UK system gets privatized and broken down by American linked interests it will continue to get worse.

In terms of what's next... another thing that was happening in the United States (that I think the BBC even covered) was the green lighting of drugs to go to the mass population that didn't pass regulation in other Western countries. Drugs like Meridia killed a lot of people in the US and they just ignored it. Your system used to be pretty strong but I'm sure they will be working to wear that down. Regulation of industry in America is just run by lobbyists for those industries. It's extraordinarily dangerous.

Patients with IV lines still attached, including children, were burned alive in a hospital by Israeli forces and NOT ONE British newspaper thought to make that front page news.
The act itself is fucking despicable.
But the press is complicit.
They BURNED CIVILIANS ALIVE.
Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.
But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.
Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.
Well, well, well, well... would you look at that. What an utter shambles. Great exclusive by @oliver_wright & @adamvaughan_uk
Seema Kennedy @SeemaKennedy board member of water industry regulator @ofwat (appointments are made by the Secretary of State for the Environment) is also working for a lobbying firm that is "spearheading a campaign that could make it harder for consumers to sue water companies".
No conflict of interest there then. I'll assume she'll be resigning before lunchtime then shall I?

@projectourworld @SimonScarrow I wish I had your faith. By the time Starmer takes action on this, the damage will already have been done as regards his reputation with the public.
@ClairS74480@LouiseScot51918@xtinexoop@WilliamYearnor I heard in the news that the police force involved had referred themselves to the IOPC watchdog (not sure how truly independent it is though) over the elderly man's previous reports about his being picked on in previous weeks
@AndyGJBurge Just in the last 2 days I've read headlines about two separate women who've been stabbed to death in the street, in broad daylight. On top of all the other recent cases. It's beyond appalling
@PeterStefanovi2@TomTugendhat@Keir_Starmer I swear the Tories operated a slash and burn policy in their last couple of years, knowing that they would be booted out at the GE and to make it nigh but impossible for any other party to put right in one term
@thewookiesroar@clairebubblepop Already destroyed by 14 years of Tory ideology. Apart from the already well-off and Tory party donors/VIP Lane contractors, nobody else is any better off. Instead, £Bns of taxpayers' money has been siphoned offshore. We'll never get it back
@beneffemey @clairebubblepop From the fastest, deepest fall during the pandemic, not to mention Truss' disastrous budget that many people will be paying the price for for years to come
@ArtyRp1 @medgmgmir@KingBobIIV@YvetteCooperMP The perpetrator was born and brought up in Wales. Last time I checked, it wasn't illegal to enter England from Wales as a Welsh man
