Three things tonight.

Big things for me.

I watched 3 programmes that hit home

1/ Britain’s toxic air Scandal (C4 8 pm) the shedding of plastics and other substances hurts children’s ability to breathe clean air.

2/ Adrian Chiles talking about drinking alcohol BBC1 8.30 p.m
3/ related to 1/ above is Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall BBC1 on plastic disposal. I am very very shocked.

I really do not know if what I do is OK

I bought bottled water 18m ago.
I now use the bottles refilled with water for convenient reuse.

Now looking at the shameful mountain
4/. I have to rethink what I have to do.

So what will I do tomorrow?

A/ think very hard before I buy or use new plastic. Do I REALLY need it. Can I reuse what I have?
B/ Maybe I should sell my car? Not have one at all.

If not share it with someone who currently own a car
5/.

C/. I think I will stop drinking alcohol completely. Still use it for cooking.

That is not going to be easy.

But I think I should just do it and find out what that feels like.

Just trying out a new way of doing threads. Now going back and altering it before tweeting it.
And here is another tweet without tweeting the first one. I just pressed the + on the bottom right as @redalphababe suggested.
Voila! I can do it using the app! Thank you @redalphababe and @mattprescott !

Great tip.

“Our findings add to the evidence that this nonprofit organisation has been used by its corporate backers for years to counter public health policies
()should be regarded as an industry group & regulated as such, not as a body acting for the greater good.” theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…
Although referring to the ILSI we, here in the U.K. and USA would have no trouble substituting several other organation names in those brackets.

Name a few.
@steveparks “To understand the upside down we are in, we need to understand the sources of information pollution. A key pillar of that is fake think tanks, institutes and ‘grassroots’ campaigns - that are actually corporate lobby groups. “

With hung Parliaments
“we will face years of paralysis under feeble governments unable to do a great deal unless the British political class becomes much more skilled at building alliances across party lines & much more willing to work towards consensus.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
2/

“The four-way split of the vote in Peterborough means that all of that city is now represented by an MP who won with less than a third of the vote”(a historic low)
“This could be replayed on a national scale. At a general election, there could be scores of Peterboroughs”
3/. Peterborough represents a agree collapse of the duopoly with the combined Tory / Labour vote share of 95% dropping to 52%.

Two historically unpopular Party leaders. One no longer, waiting for a replacement that will result in Brexit fantasy hitting reality in August.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

1/n
CW: #Transphobia, #ConversionTherapy, #Zucker, #Religiously #driven #zealotry

2/n
So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

#Britain IS #TheMatrix: a mercenary #PatronState deceitfully posing as a nation, in order to legitimise itself, its ruling elites & the immense power they wield & abuse. They, with other states, inflicted both world wars on us & now the madness of mass immigration & #DIVERSITY.
The primary purpose of the state is & always has been to facilitate society's SELF-exploitation, to the personal advantage of its ruling elites & favoured (esp. wealthy & academic/formerly priestly) clients, at the expense of society at large.

no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied
