I live in a country that is $35,000,000,000,000 in debt, has 10 million children living in poverty, but still has $200 billion to spend on fighting Russia
I am constantly being told that this is the greatest system ever created and it is a democracy
It's a bunch of bullshit
Jaw-dropping. The UK Tory government is going to Court to challenge a law passed by @scotparl unanimously. And for what? To protect their ability to legislate/act in ways that breach children’s rights in Scotland. Politically catastrophic, but also morally repugnant.
That was a f*cking disgrace.
The rules were crystal clear & people missed weddings, births, deaths & funerals to respect them. For @BorisJohnson to stand there & bare-faced lie to save his lying hypocrite aide is a slap in the face to everyone who obeyed the rules HE enforced.
I know it is tough to lose a trusted adviser at the height of crisis, but when it’s a choice of that or integrity of vital public health advice, the latter must come first. That’s the judgment I and, to her credit, Catherine Calderwood reached. PM and Cummings should do likewise.
