Memo to the GOP: Please don't tweet about MLK's legacy while advancing policies that make it harder for Black Americans to vote.

Just a reminder that while @SteveBarclay has enjoyed a weekend off, roughly 280 people died waiting for help that either never came, came but was too late or came but was unable to offload to A&E in time.
Approximately 5 people died while he ate his Sunday lunch.

Have you noticed how "hard choices" always make millionaires richer and services for poor people worse.

RT @HackneyAbbott
Keir Starmer has joined the right in calling for the “reform” of the NHS. And we all know what that means.

Hello, I am a police officer, highly trained in crime prevention, detection and investigation.
Despite this meticulous level of training, I was totally unaware that my colleagues, The Rapist and The Bastard, who were repeatedly accused of sexual assault, were violent predators.

Rishi Sunak wants workers sacked if they refuse to comply with minimum service levels during industrial action - that is NOT the case in France, Italy and Spain https://twitter.com/peterstefanovi2/status/1615023297195802634

"Lützerath is the latest of dozens of villages that have been evicted, inhabitants dispossessed under old Nazi legislation, to facilitate the expansion of lignite coal mines, the dirtiest and most carbon intensive form of electricity generation. This eviction takes place three years after the eviction of the neighbouring Hambacher Forest in 2018, which lasted over four weeks and led to the death of a young film maker. The eviction was stopped by the courts in October 2018, and later declared illegal.
The fight against coal is not over. It’s 11pm, dozens are people have been hospitalised, one person still unconscious. A medic recounts: “What I experienced today was beyond my imagination. I’ve seen every bone in the human body broken today”.
But thousands of people are still there, blockading and occupying space. Tomorrow, more people will once again make their way to the mining area. Lützerath has shown the ecocidal determination of fossil capital and the state, but it has also been a powerful symbol of resistance. Using a diversity of tactics, people from different backgrounds have come to together to show how their determination to fight back is even greater. People will keep resisting in whatever way they can. Join them."

Piggott, another well known public figure who liked his horses and dodged £3m tax, had to do time.
And he didn’t issue threats in an attempt to silence his accusers. https://twitter.com/BladeoftheS/status/1614612641799888896
I heard an interesting comment about British and US exceptionalism
There's nothing exceptional about imperialists robbing and murdering their way around the world and lying about it, in fact anything but exceptional.
Just realised - Thatcher wanted a return to Victorian values
Well, venality, hypocrisy, tolerance of disgusting poverty, imperialist racism, British exceptionalism
Full house, I think

Moderna is planning to charge $130 for its COVID vaccine, but the vaccine only costs $2.85 to make.
Meanwhile, over the last two years, the company made over $19 billion in profits off the vaccine.
Folks, this is what corporate greed looks like.

It has emerged no regulator is watching over coal certification, even after one lab confessed to switching results for the multibillion-dollar export industry."
