Hope I live to see real action on the climate, an end to free market capitalism, equity replacing equality (see pinned post) and life elsewhere in the universe.

We need equity not equality

Matt Hancock isn’t a ‘celebrity’, he’s the former health secretary who oversaw the UK having one of the highest death tolls in the world from Covid-19 whilst breaking his own lockdown rules.

@DrSimEvans 1st world nations need to provide massive financial help to save the Amazon.

@archer_rs 😱

[Martin Colin Smith @NitramThims]

@CarolineLucas Yes, but the rest of the planet also need to support Brazil financially to do this.

@Anna_Soubry Publishers or broadcasters should have a duty to correct false information. This should be done with the same impact as the original, i.e. at same time and program or same page and typeface.

@JujuliaGrace We are witnessing the corporatisation of the world transitioning to 'The Market'. Forget democracy and communism, it is The Market. This serves to accumulate wealth for the 'top' few. Governments of all colours are puppets to The Market.

@SallyBourliakas @Femi_Sorry @BBCPolitics @BBCRosAtkins @SkyNews @itvnews @Peston @guardian @thetimes @Telegraph Where they have always been... following the orders from on high. After the BBC didn't cover a demo in London with 200k+ people. I joined a protest outside BBC Bristol. Finally on of the anchors came out and said it wasn't newsworthy. Lot of shouting from the crowd. 1of2

@chrischirp yes... just breath for a few hours

Hi Lindsi... check out Bristol Beer Factory for your UK list as their canned range is Gluten 'reduced'.

Love your website by the way

I still can't understand why there is such ignorance of what masks/ respirators of different types actually do. It is NOT rocket science. This is a major failing of public health advice. And it is not helped by the fact that many health professional are not leading by example

[Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social @chrischirp]

Sort it out @NHSEngland ! Giving blood and no staff in masks, no requirement for donors (although a couple like me are). But asked to sanitise hands on entry! Fine but covid is AIRBORNE! No open windows either.

If nothing else can you afford to lose staff if they get sick?

[Martin Colin Smith @NitramThims]

Truss hails growth as if it were a solution instead of a death sentence.  But worse still the leader of the opposition Kier Starmer hails growth as the solution but just by fairer means. And even Mick Lynch, speaking for the unions, hails growth. We are doomed!

They should do it by negotiating with their employer and if that doesn't work then take strike action.

[Kit Yates @Kit_Yates_Maths]

Don't you think anyone who could get a better paid job would already have gone and done that if it were possible?

He knows that though.
It's pure intellectual dishonesty.

Who will do the lowest paid jobs then and how do we lift them up?

[Martin Colin Smith @NitramThims]

Tory Chairman, Jake Berry supports strike action for higher salaries.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Tory Chairman, Jake Berry said today:

“People know when they get their bills, they can either cut their consumption or get higher salaries or higher wages & go out there and get that new job”

For the love of God

Can someone ask who will do those jobs?

And how will they pay?

[Martin Colin Smith @NitramThims]

Probably for schools, restaurants and pubs and still have money leftover. The extra employment in manufacturing and installing woukd have been a great economic boost.

[Kit Yates @Kit_Yates_Maths]

I still don't accept this argument that it is better for children to get covid early and often.

It is better if children never get covid at all.
