SEVEN WHISTLEBLOWERS. ONE DEAD WOMAN. ONE KNIGHTHOOD FOR THE MAN WHO IGNORED THEM

In 1999, seven care workers at a BUPA care home in Bromley reported abuse of vulnerable elderly residents.

They followed every rule. They submitted formal evidence. They did everything the law required.

Edna had no family. She was entirely defenceless. Seven people risked everything to speak up for her.

Every one of them lost their job.

Edna died.

The man who received the evidence and chose to act on none of it became Sir Des Kelly OBE, a government advisor on elderly care, head of the National Care Forum, and a welcome contributor to CQC @CareQualityComm policy on the very sector where his inaction let an abuser harm more people.

You genuinely cannot make this up.

These seven became known as the BUPA7. They were the first people in UK history to use the Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA), the law that was supposed to protect whistleblowers. The law that failed them so badly that other workers across the country saw what happened and quietly decided it was safer to say nothing.

That silence has cost lives. It still does.

Eileen Chubb @CompassnInCare, one of the BUPA7, has spent every year since building Compassion in Care and supporting over 13,000 whistleblowers. She has seen the exact same pattern repeat itself across the NHS, social care, finance, construction, and local government.

Report wrongdoing. Lose your job. Watch the wrongdoing continue untouched.

Even if a whistleblower wins at an employment tribunal under PIDA, nobody is legally required to fix the problem they reported. The abuse can just carry on. The risks remain. The tribunal hands out a payout and everyone goes home.

Mid Staffs. Gosport. Rotherham. Bristol Babies. Winterbourne View. In every single one of these cases, someone knew. Someone spoke up. And the system destroyed them for it while the wrongdoing continued.

Robert Francis produced his Freedom to Speak Up review in 2015. Joint investigations by Compassion in Care and @PrivateEyeNews later revealed that the CQC @CareQualityComm lied to the public for years, falsely claiming it had closed 100 care homes when the real number was two.

The same CQC had invited Des Kelly's input into its policy on the sector he had already failed so catastrophically.

Nothing meaningfully changed.

Eileen Chubb is calling for Edna's Law. A law that would make it a criminal offence to ignore a genuine whistleblower, put wrongdoers in front of a criminal court instead of an employment tribunal, protect whistleblowers as protected witnesses, and force corrective action on the actual wrongdoing.

The State would prosecute. Not the whistleblower, who is currently expected to become a legal expert and fight experienced barristers alone.

The petition has 7,417 signatures. It has been running for a while.

It is addressed to Sir Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer.

If you want to protect the public, you protect the people willing to protect the public.

Sign the petition. Share it. Write to your MP.

Because the alternative is just waiting for the next inquiry. The next preventable scandal. The next name we will all say we should have done something about.

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.

Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

This gets my vote!
Finally a political party not owned wholly by Israel

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

Tomorrow we can make history

I’ll be speaking at 10am to prioritise Motion E12 “Zionism is Racism” at Green Party conference. Then for the motion if it moves to vote

It would make Greens first major anti-Zionist party in UK history

Green members make sure you attend and vote

🇮🇷 Iran just released a video showing two parallel stories:

A girl getting ready to go to school, and a U.S. soldier getting ready to bomb the school she attends.

Brutal.

Not even a day has passed & ‼️200,000‼️ people have signed up to build something special.

From Farage to Starmer, the political establishment smears people of conscience trying to stop a genocide in Gaza as terrorists.

We say: not in our name.

@AlanRMacLeod @georgegalloway Zionists playing the victim card…. Poor us, they make us kill civilians.

Kneecap is not the story.
Genocide in Gaza is.

As a target of the BDS movement we call on supporters to amplify the McDonalds boycott this week, as part of an organic boycott movement taking place in the US.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Earlier today, our powerful Armed Forces accurately eliminated an Israeli Military Command, Control & Intelligence HQ and another vital target.

The blast wave caused superficial damage to a small section of the nearby, and largely evacuated, Soroka Military Hospital. The facility is mainly used to treat Israeli soldiers engaged in the Genocide in Gaza 25 miles away, where Israel has destroyed or damaged 94% of Palestinian hospitals.

It is the Israeli regime and not Iran that initiated all this bloodshed, and it is Israeli war criminals and not Iranians who are targeting hospitals and civilians. Hundreds of innocent Iranians have been murdered in cold blood since Israel launched its illegal war against the Iranian people last week.

We call on Israelis to heed our evacuation orders before strikes and to avoid proximity to military and intelligence sites. Our powerful Armed Forces will continue to pummel the criminals who target our people until they cease and pay for their criminal aggression against our nation.
