Last month Eddie Dempsey from the @RMTunion explained how, when Railtrack was nationalised, the govt forced NetworkRail to fund spending by issuing bonds. They now owe £25bn & pay £2bn/yr interest, which is more than they spend on maintaining the railways!

If the Nazis had been literal monsters - other-worldly creatures with tentacles on their faces or something - it would be much more comfortable being human.

[David Webster @davidwebster]

So, the free speech tsar will require me to tolerate transphobic, racist and misogynistic speakers while not challenging govt injunction to not teach critical race theory or use anti-capitalist resources? Almost as if it’s nothing to do with free speech at all...

No one should face criminal prosecution only for expressing themselves on social media or for singing something that may be distasteful or shocking. Expressions that do not clearly and directly incite violence cannot be criminalized.

[UNHCR United Kingdom @UNHCRUK]

In South Ayrshire, the council are preparing to help refugee children.

The foster homes will be "for unaccompanied asylum seeking children to receive the support and care they require when they come to South Ayrshire and for as long as they need it."

Mind blowing...

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

The government, in a blatant attempt to distract us from its multiple failings, insists that a few hundred people in boats is the UK's biggest crisis.
Almost every major news organisation then repeats and amplifies the story, giving the government exactly what it wants.

[Alex Paterson @tolonuk]

There's rarely a bad time to step back and reflect on how we're working, but doing so in today's tough conditions could be essential to making sure you and your team are all coping. Thanks Jude!

A wealthy nation putting itself in a position where it has to stockpile food, medicine, etc., in times of peace is utter madness. What Are We Doing?
