London police officers routinely made jokes about rape and disabled people and exchanged racist messages. The same ones who protected @BorisJohnson & his #DowningStreet 24-hour party people when others couldn't say goodbye to their dying loved ones. nytimes.com/2022/02/01/worâŠ
@BorisJohnson @metpoliceuk "said in a statement that the actions of the police officers in central London that the report detailed do 'not represent the values' of the force."
Yes. They do.
Yes. They do.
@BorisJohnson @metpoliceuk In one exchange, two @metpoliceuk officers talked about domestic violence, with one officer writing about women, âKnock a bird about and she will love you. Human nature.â
In another exchange, a male officer told a female officer, âI would happily rape you.â

The Gurkhas played an essential role in establishing the British Raj in India and fought for the British in Afghanistan, what was then Burma, Tibet and in countless other conflicts.

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.

Itâs unclear why mounted police officers were ordered to charge (slowly) at protestors down Whitehall.
Unsurprisingly, the move has escalated tensions. (Footage via @matthabusby)

Footage of the mounted police officer being knocked off the horse (via @bog_pc).
It appears that the horse was spooked & galloped towards the crowd.
It seems to run beneath a traffic sign which strikes the officer causing him/her to fall off backwards.

"The Lancetâs fraudulent concealment of genetics, and its own conflicting interests, while condemning #coronavirus conspiracy theorists, gives the appearance of âcrisis capitalism,â and complicity in the COVID-19-SARS/HIV-1 #Wuhan âEvent 201â biocrime."
The 'Scientific' arguments going on behind the scenes on #Covid_19 should be a wake-up call to the 'TRUE' dangers the world is being exposed to! 'BOTH' sides of the argument are labelling the other 'Conspiracy Theorists'. Only one of them can be!
The Lancet writes that "Conspiracy theories do nothing but create fear, rumours, and prejudice...." #Covid_19
What #ParliamentShutDown is about.
A thread on strategy and tactics.
Premises: Cummings is the decision maker, a rare beast who understands at least the most fundamental rules of strategy. His final aim is to consolidate power.
#Brexit is a tool, not the aim.

In a confrontation with multiple players, only a fool thinks it's possible to plot a precise route to victory. Smarter people know that the best way to increase the chances of success is to maximise one's own options and reduce the options available to the opposition.

#ParliamentShutDown does this in multiple ways.
1st: it forces honest democrats to fight back, engaging in a battle chosen by Cummings. This is bad, but not baiting is even worse! It already is a tactical cost we can't avoid paying.

The "Tusk didn't explain his position" line ignores the detailed explanation of the position which Barnier recently gave to the Commons. #DowningStreet
"Your rights will be protected in case of no deal" pledge to @The3Million - rather ambiguous #DowningStreet
