This is why, even now, I’ve never succumbed to hubris regarding the dangers of Covid. We REALLY want it to be “just a cold,” but it’s not a cold. It’s neurological, and it’s stealthier than us. Those who have friends with “long Covid” know it’s no joke: https://t.co/Lv23uBQKtd

Can you imagine - whoever is here in 100 years, if anyone is, when they ask how this happened...

We'll tell them Oil companies knew in the 70s but kept quiet because the profits were too great,

then less than 20 years after they put man on the moon, in 1988, NASA told the world we were in danger, and the UKs Prime Minister warned the threat was as bad as nuclear war,

then the oil companies paid billions to confuse the public and bury the science, and the media oligarchs lapped it up...

then in 2006 the former Vice President of the most powerful country on Earth, made a movie warning of the threat and everyone cheered, they gave him an Oscar and agreed we'd all do something,

governments tinkered at the edges but the public were brainwashed into thinking they just had to change what kind of straws we used and it would all be OK, if they believed there was a need to do anything at all...

And even as countries burned and seas rose, the newspapers owned by the rich did everything they could to stop change from happening,

And then eventually a tiny minority of people started protesting - and in the UK they locked them up for longer than some rapists get....

and the public were too distracted by games and entertainments, like in Rome, just 1700 years before...

and then...

This is the most honest journalism presented in 10 years of UK politics.

It's #showyourstripes day. In the 10 years we've been here in Italy we've felt the summers getting hotter and the winters milder. And here's the hard evidence.

This government has eroded one of the most fundamental values Britain has ever held: Democracy

False promises, corruption and lies have created a country that no longer believes in voting itself.

Wellingborough is just the beginning
