S.Peggie loses on every point apart from the administrative failures of NHS systems. GC lawyers have wasted NHS time and resources for a vanity project with net-zero result for them or Peggie. The aim is never to win legally but use the story to lobby politically through media.

I think the lesson of the day, which almost all minority people understand, is that you just don't get to be apolitical. And you particularly can't be apolitical by complying with a blatantly political instruction when you have near infinite money and freedom.

-or put additional stresses on medical services. Some people demonstrably couldn't give a shit. When you say "given what we now know", or cast doubt upon the effectiveness of, say, closing schools, you let those people off the hook. You legitimise their selfishness.

I am BEGGING the BBC to stop calling them “anti-immigration” protesters, they’re racists. If they’re shouting racist abuse, and attacking people of colour, they’re racist. Call them what they are. Racists, stirred up by right-wing politicians and media. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Libraries are meant to be filled with color. Libraries are meant to be places where “activists and homeless” are welcomed. I know so many librarians who have helped the unhoused find jobs and housing because of library resources. The library is safety for the folks who need it most.

Eluned Morgan, Labour first minister in Wales has lost her seat. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all now have govts which reject Westminster rule. In a normal country that would provoke a constitutional crisis, but in the UK the Labour govt and London centric media will try and ignore it.
