🌶Imagine how many children skip school because of hunger?
Dear 🇱🇰#SriLanka,
Do you still support these politicians who stole from you and are stealing? 2/

It is shocking to see that seasoned journalists and academics give no marks to the cruelty of our Institutions such as NAB which can throw innocent people into jail cells and throw away the keys. For God's sake Ladies, have a heart. Show me ONE 'democratic' country that would 2/
2/ deal with the opposition in the vile manner that our military dictators and this awful so-called #RIGGED government does. Show me ONE country who seeks to kick out a Supreme Court judge just because he admonishes an Intelligence Agency to stop playing politics. Show me ONE 3/
3/ country who's dictator (Yes, you guessed it, @P_Musharraf!) tells a most popular leader (Yes, you guessed it, The late lamented Bibi) 'you are as safe as your closeness to me' and when she goes her own way she is shot in the head and the scene of the crime washed with power 4/

The present Senate 'Opposition' must be the ONLY opposition in the whole wide World that is partly made up of treasury members😅A most unique Opposition😄!Seriously, we routinely make complete idiots of ourselves before the World! YRG has made a huge mistake accepting this 'job'.
2/ He has been a most successful politician: from Zia's Majlis e Shoora to a Minister to the PPP to Speaker of the NA to Prime Minister. What made him become Leader of the Opposition with the help of 4 Treasury Senators, ditching the PMLN that had helped him get into the Senate3/

The UK has so far suffered ~50k excess deaths ‘with #COVID19 mentioned on the death certificate’ - 6 out of 7 aged 65+, 1/3 in care homes, 1/5 in hospitals where many were 1st infected.

At the same time, government has borrowed almost £150 billion more than in 2019... 1/3
... that works out at almost £3 million per death and counting.

Do you suppose better management could have lowered both the death toll AND the cost? EG by protecting the vulnerable, treating the sick -with or w/out #COVID19(84) - setting everyone else free!!

FYI projections for full FY20-21 borrowing were already almost double the current tab, at £372bln - imagine what they look like now that the #BorisJohnson Junta, Nicola Maduro #Sturgeon, et al, have swung the Camp #Covid gates shut again on the Flu-lag Archipelago! 3/3
