Lest we forget

Gildy Stern 🇺🇦@oldhamletsghost.bsky.social

The fact that the Tory crooks got away scot free with the various cons and fiddles to enrich their mates during COVID (VIP lane anyone?) is bad enough, but the dereliction of duty re the most vulnerable is unforgivable. Obviously we're all so traumatised by the pandemic, there'll be no reckoning

Jenrick: “No one has done more than Nigel Farage to stand up against racism and the far right” Farage has exploded a brexity, anti-immigration, small boats, mass-deportations, ICE-style cruelty, riots and racism bomb on the UK and now stands back and tells us only he can fix the damage he’s caused.

This is damning. So much could could have been done at the time, with what was known about COVID, and with what what resources we had. It’s hard not to read callous neglect into these findings. And that intentional neglect was layered with lies - like the “protective ring” - which did not exist.

The Inquiry’s overarching judgement is that fragmented responsibility, ignored warnings, poor data and inadequate planning created conditions in which Covid could spread “like wildfire”. Social care’s neglect was longstanding. During the pandemic, its consequences became catastrophic.

UK: "Government failures allowed COVID to 'spread like wildfire' in care homes, inquiry says" "The COVID pandemic "totally disrupted" the lives of people in care homes and had a "devastating impact" - there were more than 43,000 deaths involving COVID in care homes between March 2020 and July 2022"

Coverage of the troubled relationship between the King and his youngest son dominates front pages at the expense of 43,000, mostly needless, deaths. Hancock and Johnson should be in prison.

Nothing will happen to Johnson or Hancock or any crooked Tory like Mone. Nothing will happen to Nigel Farage. Nothing will happen to Trump or Putin or Netanyahu. But it absolutely should.

Thousands of unvetted people, many of them young men of fighting age, trying to take over our Town Halls whilst spreading their messages of toxic hate and who are unwilling to properly integrate into modern British society. My proposed description of Reform UK councillors...

Labour stopped trying to out-Reform Reform. They're now up in the polls. The Tories stopped trying to out-Reform Reform. They're now up in the polls. Amazing what happens when you stop aping the worst people in the room.

“Look in the mirror, 🇺🇸”. No matter how many times you say “this is not who we are as a country”; right now it IS. 🇺🇸 has twice elected a corrupt, selfish bully who abandons allies, deals with enemies, rejects science and medicine, attacks other countries, harms the vulnerable and pardons criminals.

Jeffrey Donaldson given 15 years for child sex abuse. Cue the outrage from the likes of Reform, calling for all middle-aged overtly Christian men to be deported. No?

The issue with racism in Britain is the pattern of shock, surprise and disgust. When we platform racists at the highest level, fail to call them out at dinner tables and in pubs, what do we expect?

OK, there is something very, very weird going on in the press right now. It certainly appears, from the outside, as if certain people are being very much protected in a way that was not afforded to certain other people! Let's start with the facts around Lola Salem... 🧵1/

Well said. How many of Tommy Robinson’s Sport’s Direct paramilitary division go and help or worship at the churches they claim they want to protect. It’s much easier to don a balaclava and shout at the RNLI. #HopeNotHate

Hmmm… who to believe… Andy Burnham or the compulsive liar who got sacked twice for lying, lied to Parliament, lied to The Queen, cheated on two wives and ignored the Ministerial Code. Tricky one.

Farage now at the stage where he's quoting Boris Johnson to back up his lies, whilst saying the Tory Party is "the establishment" that he's fighting against, is quite the flex, no? Not exactly the first person you'd reach for in order to prove a truth...

Sir Andy KBE reposted

Brexit is forever tainted with disinformation, foreign interference, murky vested interests, ugly prejudice, unforgivable costs and now deep unpopularity. If you really cared about our country and wanted to fix its problems, you’d admit this… Good that Burnham is finally doing so…

Andy Burnham confirms what previous PM's - May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer - failed to, that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.

All you people screaming "Trump is a Russian asset" don't get it - these kinds of people have no attachment to their "country" other than it provide them with wealth, power and vanity. If it stops doing that, they'll crap on it without a second thought.

Have a read of the book "Sovereign Individuals" to get some idea of how these people work. First yachts, then islands, then countries. Then probably bunkers......

'Honest' Bob seems to have forgotten he was a minister in Johnson, Truss and Sunak's administrations. (Sunak who bragged about diverting money from the North to increase spending in affluent Tunbridge Wells). And that Refuk's multi-millionaires have repeatedly voted against workers' rights. 🤔
