Thread for ‘but is this happening in schools’ #Edutwitter. Yes it is. Firstly personal testimony: “the school nurse had referred her to the school counsellor [who] informed [her] that a hatred of one’s breasts could be an indicator of a non-binary” safeschoolsallianceuk.net/our-stories/ou…
More testimony: “I am utterly horrified at what was taught at a PSHE lesson at my school recently. It was to a group of children, most are 11-12 years old. It is so, so much worse than I thought.” #Edutwitter #DiverseEd #LGBT

More personal testimony: “We did request to see their transgender policy and it was kafkaesque – it repeatedly conflated sex & gender… & downplayed the effects of binders, blockers and hormones” #Edutwitter #WomeEd #PSHEPeeps

It means sorting out what will be best practice strategies that can draw comparisons to #wildwest when unmoderated.

Social impacts
So what are the impacts of single-game betting to the industry and society, and how will it be regulated?
deviantart.com/sotongdewaslot… The government recently announced they are implementing a watchdog type agency and policy to monitor the industry for a number of concerns which, in the bill’s current form,
vevioz.com/read-blog/2685… include amendments to prohibit match-fixing and changes to the Criminal Code to allow First Nations lottery considerations.

What has not been considered, however, is how responsible betting will be moderated, managed and communicated.

Senescent, sour, Sydney moonhowler @SimonChapman6 has been 'shaking his cane' at #tobacco shops for selling #vapes. Thing is, they are a 'highly addictive' **0%** #nicotine strength.

Hey .. one is even sour, so may be right up his alley.

How ya' like /them/ apples, Simon? 😏
As such.. it is not 'highly addictive', 'highly habituating', or even 'mildly habituating'.

I picked those two up in Sydney the other day at a tobacconist - who was proud to tell me they had no nicotine at all.
Reassuringly, one of those is actually /made in #Australia/. So applying sensible consumer regs(1) for Quality Control should be easy, and save us (consumers) from having to get them from countries that do not demand high standards in construction or ingredients.

WTF is a "COVID-secure Marshal"?

Have @BorisJohnson & the Cabinet become so detached from reality that they think they're in the #WildWest?

Do none of them remember the disastrous 'Community Wardens' scheme (aka 'Street Wardens', 'Dog Shit Wardens')...

...rapidly superceded by PCSOs?

Government awarded itself these powers MONTHS ago 👇 legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2020/7/s… so it has no excuse for not having thought this through.

So where are the (draft) regulations for these para-policing "Marshals", for public & Parliament to scrutinise? Image
N.B. Someone senior at @PHE_uk really SHOULD be sacked if, eight months into the pandemic, it doesn't already have (and publish!) a comprehensive register of all #EnvironmentalHealthOfficers 👇 especially given the powers they wield. Image

Is vaping bad for you? A cardiothoracic surgeon gives her expert opinion.
A twitter thread on #vaping in #Australia, in a news report featuring @drnikkistamp.
Report "debate rages on about whether [#eCigarette are] actually a safer alternative to regular #cigarettes"
Yes, in much the same way that debate rages as to whether #vaccines cause autism, or whether the Earth is flat.
Sans the carbon monoxide & tar of #smoking, ..
.. it'd be pretty extraordinary if they were anything less than /much/ less harmful.
