Does anyone else EVER wonder how some leaders EVER get voted in? When they are, automatically become immune to laws WE have to abide to???GOOD LORD, if we did a tiny fraction of corruption Tories did we would be banged up. WHY does society SIMPLY ACCEPT THIS WAY OF THINGS??

What people think Covid is: A bad cold that sometimes causes the elderly or vulnerable to die. What Covid actually is: A SARS pathogen that causes vascular damage (even in mild cases) resulting in health issues, either now or in the future, regardless of age or health status. #LongCovid
Frank Ruschitzka told his pathologist to be ready before the first COVID-19 patient died. In early March, Ruschitzka, who leads the cardiology department at University Hospital Zürich, noticed that patients with the disease had strange symptoms for what was then thought to be chiefly a respiratory infection. Many patients had acute kidney failure, organ damage, and mysterious blood clots. Several weeks later, the first body was autopsied: Tiny clots and dead cells littered the capillaries of the lungs, and inflammation had distended blood vessels supplying every organ in the body.

The pathologist had never seen anything like it. But the results showed Ruschitzka why his patients were suffering so much: The virus had targeted their blood vessels.

I suffered organ damage & long-term health issues from Covid. People be like: IT’S VACCINES! 👉 I got Covid in March 2020. Pre-vaccines. 👉 YOU WERE OLD OR SICK! I was 39, fit & healthy. (Not that it should matter.) 👉 IT’S RARE! Over 100 million worldwide. That we know about. So far. #LongCovid

Future historians will look back on water privatisation as being one of the biggest con tricks ever carried out. Shareholders (mostly overseas) and executives have enriched themselves, while infrastructure has deteriorated and the consumer has suffered a declining service. Please tell me I'm wrong!

Trump pardoned Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort, as well as his son-in-law’s father, Charles Kushner—who he just appointed as US ambassador to France. Sorry, but President Biden was right to pardon his son Hunter in order to protect him against Kash Patel’s weaponized FBI.

Will they have the power to follow the trail beyond the contracting entity, to the holding companies and people beyond? I fear many of the contracting entities were fly by night disposable limited companies that have since been liquidated.

It's not benefits that are an issue in the UK. It's super rich ripping us off with tax fraud/evasion & bailing out utilities & banks. We got austerity, they got richer. NHS & social care has been torn apart leaving us sicker & needing benefits coz we can't get treated soon enough to get back to work

👏 When people say “we can’t put a price on life”, I can’t help but think we already do - it was called Austerity. No one cared then about pricing our spend on education/healthcare/areas linked to quality of life and survival rates; but explicitly bringing death into the equation seems too much.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.
