A couple of years ago, during the #Pandemic, a number of women directors (including me), had had enough of the inequality amongst male & #femaledirectors of #documentaries in the UK industry. @WeAreDocWomen was a result of a number of women coming together ...
to effect real change. #WeareDocWomen was already formed a number of years earlier, but it wasn't until the #Pandemic that the glaring inequality amongst directors became so obvious. Then the #tvgendergapreport came out which showed just how bad that inequality was ...
Here's the background to that report - some of which I'm going to quote from in the following tweets .. variety.com/2020/tv/global… #wearedocwomen #femalefilmmakers #timesup #timeforchange #5050pledge

Quite a letter - castigating Johnson's policies: Rwanda deportations, Privatisating #Channel4, ban on noisy protests, impossibility of building nuclear power plant in 1 year. The problem is Norman voted for all of the above, and now realises he may lose his seat.#ConfidenceVote
You need to click the link to read Jesse Norman's letter of no confidence in Boris Johnson as Norman has turned off the function of writing comments over his tweet -- 🙄--->
Jessie Norman goes on to say Boris Johnson is using culture wars to divide the nation while trying to import elements of a presidential system -- but Johnson has no mandate to be a president - he is an MP...
I'm seeing the argument that YouTube provides the diversity that #Channel4 was created for. Here's why they're wrong:
💰Financial: If YouTube is profitable for mainstream channels (& their content), they'd be all over it. They're not.

The advertising cut by YT is substantial & the per-viewer income lower. There is a reason YT isn't funding films or series which require large prop departments, a range of talent, writers, and so on.
In fact, for many YouTubers, getting picked up by a network is the dream.

For sure, a moderately successful channel can bring in the money - but not via YouTube. For example, only 26% of @LinusTech income in 2020 was via YT directly. The rest was from sponsorships, merchandise, etc.

Half the people in this unit are younger than me. Think about that. Working age NHS staff saying this.
Most nurses feel the pandemic has had a negative effect on their mental health.
How are we caring for them?

If anyone knows the @ handle of the doctor leading this programme please let me know.
I would just like to find a more personal way of recognising the hardship, grief and greenshoots. Especially for Nathan and all new medics and nurses and with her own family

1. FLASHBACK: #BBC researcher, Abd Alkader Habak, for #Mayday #WhiteHelmet war-crime-cover-up @BBCRadio4 series, was cameraman in @Channel4News terrorist-glorifying report "Aleppo: Up close with the "rebels". Channel4 actually removed this video because...
2. the armed group featured in this video report was none other than Nour Al Din Zinki - torturers & beheaders of child victim, Abdullah Issa, 2016. Habak is seen filming next to one of the beheaders in video. Channel4 distanced themselves fm report when content was condemned.
3. Nour Al Din Zinki beheaded 12 yr old Issa in Al Ansari square in Al Qaeda dominated East #Aleppo, 200 metres fm #WhiteHelmet center featured in Oscar-nominated promo "Last Men in Aleppo". A #WhiteHelmet also features in #Channel4 report:

In 2005, I set up a business selling CDs, namely mixtape CDs after graduating from Uni.
In 2006, my home was raided & my business was stopped. They said the CDs I was selling were in breach of copyright.

It was a complete shock as the exact same CDs I was selling were prevalent on most high streets and supermarkets. They were selling in their thousands in places such as #Tesco & #HMV. And #Woolworths were the actual UK Distributor of these CDs.

A great relief to hear Sir Paul Nurse talking about the necessity of integrated IT platforms to support testing.
It isn’t getting “a” test. It is about have the large and sophisticated information and logistics systems in place.

Trust is very important.

Contact tracing.
Not realistic to do indescrimiate population testing. NO “I want a test and I am going to have one”.
Tracing needs to be from those identified with CV.
Scientists talking about not knowing how virulent this virus is. Sure.

At same period the UK Authorities, banks & state owned companies all converged with their plans to take our home, our car & our money, my mother's #DWP welfare benefit was also targeted on several occasions, the worst being what happened at #Adecco #Guardian #TheTimes #GMB
My mother was seeking #employment & arranged an appointment with #OfficeAngels who she was already registered with & had worked for, for years. However, the time & date of the appointment was at a similar time to that of her sign on with the #DWP. #Jobseekersallowance #Jobseekers

The short outline version is as below in this thread. It's still quite long because it started in 2006 & the UK Authorities, mainly the #MetPolice, have invested a lot of time & resources in trying to get rid of this problem by hook or by crook

#bbcnews #royalfamily
It started with the #MetPolice being caught out falsifying paperwork - a search warrant. When caught out they tried to frame me for a crime I did not commit. #bbcnews #royalfamily #Metpoliceuk

And that she has good relations with other parties ? SNP

I think they are both making an error in suggesting THE ONLY WAY to settle the Brexit debate is by a #PV
It is merely ONE democratic way. Keep the door open.
Please. Both. Stop doing that.

I’ve been undecided as each candidate have particular personal qualities that appeal in different circumstances
I think @EdwardJDavey ‘s experience and breadth of understanding is showing
He more credible on “HOW”

@joswinson brings youth and sometimes warmth, humour and a contemporary feel to the debate.
She deals with the issues of electoral cooperation with Pro EU parties better.
BUT the way she responds on the #IndyRef issue unskilfully.

There is no recognition that there’s a difference in outcome for Scotland if we remain in the EU & if we do not.
If we are unsuccessful in stopping Brexit then Scotland, NI & now, I think Wales are being dragged out against their will and to their detriment
We can’t ignore that

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.
