Everybody was told in 2010-15 that austerity was painful but necessary to improve living standards. And then no improvements came, ever.

There have been 340 times as many confirmed covid deaths as confirmed measles deaths here so far this year, and almost no one gives a shit.

@BBCBreakfast Time for all of the UK's ISP's to lower the monthly cost of internet connections,
to better reflect the Limitations that the Labour party has set with it's restrictions,

I am NOT paying full price for a Limited Service and neither should anyone else.

@deukaeez @omarsbigsister the british are the most pacified cattle the world has ever seen

My father had a massive heart attack in January, & now the stent he got is 99% blocked & he’s getting unplanned bypass surgery in Texas. Please keep him in your prayers & thoughts. I am very worried. I wish my body worked & I could freely travel, but it doesn’t, & I cannot.

I’m helping a disabled client verify his age with @PlayStation @Sony. He can't use their standard methods, and they have ignored requests for reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010. This breaks UK law. @Ofcom please look into this or I'll take legal action.

My 17-year-old daughter:
“I’m confused. We’ve always been taught not to share personal information or anything that identifies us online because it isn’t safe. Now they want us to do exactly that to access social media.”

[Kazz 🍉✊ @KazzJenkins]

The group of kids I worry most about regarding this social media ban is the neurodivergent. They use their computers in so many ways.

It can be their window to the world.

And Labour is going to take it away from them.

@CovidSolidarit1 I'm still confused about why Twitter tried to spoiler a photo of a sheep on a bed the other day but was fine with me watching a video of a woman being flung to her death without a safety harness.

[Sir Norman of Nowhere. 🏴‍☠️ @Normanjam67]

They don't give a shit about your children's mental health, if they did they would increase spending on youth mental health services, instead they are taking away their YouTube.
This is just more repression from the most authoritarian government in modern history.

[Cat (CovidSolidarity) @CovidSolidarit1]

If you had told me in 1984 how diminished the world would be in 2026, I would have had trouble believing you.

[folkyhel.bsky.social @FolkyHel]

@CovidSolidarit1 @oliver_phil It's about food shortages and climate collapse (hence promotion of GLP-1s too). Perhaps they're also worried people might eventually cotton on to what's being done to them re. COVID.

[Hanner @GangstHannah]

A lot of us don't use GenAI and don't post pictures of ourselves online because of the rampant use of GenAI for mass surveillance.

So they're doing everything they can, aka using kids, to force everyone to show ID online

They don't like dissent and intend on squashing it

[tern @1goodtern]

There are some people who would have you believe that vaccines basically all work the same for different infections, and all have the same effect, but that's not true.

Let me explain this as simply as I can:

[Joe @andjustliketwat]

Sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy because the UK government is focused on every other issue except the fact PEOPLE CAN’T AFFORD TO FILL THEIR FRIDGE???

[James Throt MBBS, MD, PhD, FRCPath @JamesThrot]

The people insisting how brilliant banning social media is, because it “gets kids off their phones”, are the same people who call the police on groups of kids hanging out with their friends in public spaces because they’re a “nuisance”

Then say they’re “thinking of the children”

[James Throt MBBS, MD, PhD, FRCPath @JamesThrot]

It’s purely a coincidence that the only place to find reliable (non-legacy media) information pertaining to Israel, Palestine, Epstein Files, Climate Change, COVID etc is social media and that governments around the world are banning access to this for our younger generations.

I loved how he went from mask criticism to 'covid destroyed one of my senses' in a blink.

[tern @1goodtern]

Me: Oh, this honeysuckle smells amazing.
Him: How can you smell it with that mask on?
Me: Some smells are gas-phase molecules that can get through this kind of mask. Doesn't it smell amazing?
Him: I don't know. I haven't been able to smell anything for six years.
Me: Really?
Him: Yeah. My first covid infection. It's got worse too. The other day our dinner was on fire, and I couldn't smell the smoke. The first I knew was when my eyes started watering, then the alarm went off.

The vast swathes of people clutching their pearls over children using social media because it’s detrimental to their brain development, are inexplicably quiet when it comes to SARS-CoV-2 being detrimental to their brain development.

And the latter is far worse for brain health.
