I’d like to think we played our part too with the #ResignSturgeon #ButeHouse demo which took place 3 weeks to the day on #Burns 25/1/22. Thank you everyone who came to speak, listen and show their dissent! It was a really good day and eventually paid off #Dissent #IndyActionNow 
Sadly @JNHanvey couldn’t make it on the day but we were delighted @Peter__A__Bell stepped in at last minutes to deliver a powerful speech largely based on one he had already given in 2014, Scotland being no further forward towards independence once then under @NicolaSturgeon ✊
Professor Alf Baird also dropped by to talk informatively about decolonisation which was the perfect accompaniment to @SSalyers2 on Scottish Sovereignty and what it means. @yvonneridley spoke eloquently on the issue on many of our minds, the #GRRBill and it’s effect 👏👏👏

#UK #Teachers set to #strike after pay #talks with #Tory ministers collapse | Jan 30
- Despite years of falling take-home pay, the government offered most teachers just 5 per cent for 2022-23 — about half the rate of 40-year-high double-digit #inflation.

Dissent Scotland is a new and growing activist collective whose purpose is to promote, agitate and protest for #ScottishIndependence. We will do this through creative arts and performance, direct action and political demonstration. #Dissent #SovereignScots #IndyActionNow
We are not affiliated with any other org or political party although our activists may be members of such. We have no leader and no hierarchy, some activists take on roles suited to their experience or skill set, but everyone is equal and will always be. #Dissent #IndyActionNow
We are not a homogeneous group and each #sovereign individual is able to engage in and encourage participation actions on their own accord, likewise individuals may choose not to take part in activities and that has no bearing on their standing. #Dissent #IndyActionNow
This headline 👇 will be no surprise to anyone who's been following @NHSEngland's plans (and actions) for a while.
But @JonUngoedThomas's article reveals some crucial details about what's intended for your #NHS #HealthRecords that are worth unpacking...

First, and possibly most significantly, is @NHSEngland officials' confirmation that its '#FederatedDataPlatform' will incorporate patients across England's #SharedCareRecords:
Why is this so important? Because #SharedCareRecords - which every new #ICS* is supposed to have - include your #GPdata, which @NHSEngland has been trying to get hold of for years (most recently last summer)...

So let’s talk about where things got up to with your #HealthData, before Rishi Sunak started talking about the need to generate trust in Government with “#integrity” and “#accountability”…

Earlier today we got a bunch of detail out of @NHSDigital’s Board papers and services performance pack - what of that will continue post-#merger?

With the news that the Government is rushing through @NHSEngland’s takeover of the statutory safe haven (@NHSDigital) with about the level of planning that went into the 'fiscal event', where exactly *are* things as the former/new Sec State starts work?
While the chaos of '#AcceleratedCitizensAccess' to #GPrecords continues to unfold:
...we've come across some perturbing items on the agenda for @NHSDigital's Board meeting this afternoon 👇 which I'll pick up on in this [Thread].

First, beginning on page 158, are some Directions that @NHSEngland must know will be HIGHLY controversial - given they are telling @NHSDigital to use @PalantirTech's #Foundry to collect *patient level identifiable data* from hospitals...
I'll tweet as I do a read-through, but even these first two paragraphs are incoherent, e.g. "...in a way that will enable." Enable what?
And if @NHSEngland Directs NHSD to use #Palantir, NHSE is *determining the purposes and means of processing* - i.e. it is a #DataController...

1/ "The latest generation of technology digs through the vast amounts of data collected on their daily activities to find patterns and aberrations, promising to predict crimes or protests before they happen."
2/ "It takes extensive evasive maneuvers to avoid the digital tripwires."
Finally, the #GoldacreReview is published! (During Parliamentary Easter holidays, mid-ping-pong on the #HealthAndCareBill...)
It's 221 pages - each PDF page is a double page spread - so this could be a lo-o-o-ong [Thread].

First point to note, in the Terms of Reference (p5), is that this is about "access to #NHSdata by #researchers, #commissioners, and #innovators" - i.e. #Planning and #CommercialReUse - so it is directly relevant to the operation of millions of people's #NationalDataOptOuts...

"The erosion of meaningful culture, the domination of corporate & state media [] the loss of a knowledgable audience. And as one sees w/ the Russophobic response to Ukraine, the entire pandemic only served as a precursor to some complete mental collapse."

"And perhaps the best place (or one of them) to start is with ideas of #autonomy, #AI, and #tech (#media). For #automation and the internet have both, in their own ways, contributed hugely to the layers of mystification surrounding everything in the #capitalist west today."
"#AI seeks to achieve the same control over mental processes that #scientific management sought to achieve over physical #labour [in 2nd industrial revolution] through a process of rationalization, fragmentation, mechanization and routinization."

The #diversity craze is nothing new. Neither is its #dissent.
"The plain fact is that the richness and unpredictability of genuine human diversity cannot be encompassed by a few caricatures, even if they are very well intentioned." -Richard Bernstein, 1994
"The plain fact is that the richness and unpredictability of genuine human diversity cannot be encompassed by a few caricatures, even if they are very well intentioned." -Richard Bernstein, 1994
"Valuing Diversity imagines a world of diversity in which, paradoxically, everybody will have more or less the same ideas, the same philosophy, the same vaguely liberal political convictions, the same notions of the equality of all peoples, all sexes, and all sexual practices..."
"In their attempt to open our minds to that great world of difference that they know exists out there, they unintentionally reaffirm their own attachment to values and practices that originated in the West."

Modi has used this shock and awe policy to leave #Kashmir in seige & let #Kashmiris bleed.
His "suddennness" of Demonetisation left the economy in shambles far before covid hit our country. /3
