They tried "managed decline" on Liverpool.
They liked it so much they are doing it to the whole country now.

Colonial, racist reaction to Indigenous gender worlds 

"Gender fluidity shocked colonialists, who were already predisposed to think of Indigenous peoples as culturally backward and in need of civilizing, as justification for vanquishing them. When the 19th-century American painter George Catlin depicted a ceremonial dance that honored a Two Spirit person, he saw only 'a man dressed in woman’s clothes,' he wrote in 1841, adding that this was a 'disgraceful degradation.'

Here's @BBCBreaking with the truth about austerity

(After a decade of lying for @Conservatives )

We are a monetarily sovereign nation.

We cannot go bankrupt.

We do not
"borrow money".

We do not need to "balance the books".

Thank god it’s them instead of you.

Quite revolting.

Next general election could be Rachel Reeves v Priti Patel vying to prove themselves the biggest cold-hearted, authoritarian, racist b*tch. Should be fun.

@thereclaimparty This is a very clear cut case of outright libel. So far I can see it has 19,300 views. You’d be wise to take it down and fully retract and apologise before you make this any worse for yourselves.

So, the origin of the baby formula pocalypse was Abbott management's refusal to repair dilapidated and failure-prone drying machines turning the plant into proverbial petri dishes for cronobacter, because...

Classic response to this in LinkedIn along the lines of "Training is a waste of money". He then goes on to describe how instead of training junior devs, he shows them how he does it then gets them to try it. Which is totally not training. No way. twitter.com/jasongorman/status

Am I the only person who doesn't give a flying fuck about the Queens jubilee and won't be hanging any buntings or posters on my house or going to any celebrations? Citizens are starving and they want to spend a gizillion pounds on that shit.

Rishi Sunak says technical problems stopped him raising benefits more.

Funny, technical problems didn’t stand in the way of a £2,200 pay rise for MPs!

Just out of interest, has any news outlet other than @BylineTimes covered this scandal?

If not, ask yourself why.

And consider that journalism is the immune system of the body politic, and if it itself is infected, we are in a parlous condition twitter.com/briancathcart/stat

The DUP strike again, as they dig their heels in, refusing to work with Sinn Fein unless the Tories ditch the Northern Ireland protocol, getting Brexit undone & they're going to do it too, risking a trade war with the EU. Bribing them not going to work this time then?

We destroyed our only biosphere within just 20-30 years of 3-4 billion . To legitimize this cacophony of billionaires manipulating us, politics, our culture and markets. We completely fail to protect our children and consume news about clowns.
