A month ago, I posted the @JohnsHopkins graph on #COVID19 deaths per head of population👇

The UK way ahead

“England” would be even further ahead

The US was in 2nd place

In their latest graph, the UK is still way on top.

The US has slipped to 13th. coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality Image
This is not a skit!

@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population.

@realDonaldTrump: “You can’t do that.”

Why isn’t PM grilled on mortality rate which is FAR higher in UK than US?
Look at the graphs they give to @realDonaldTrump - simplified so much that even a kindergartener could understand them. #coronavirus #COVID19 #ABCTest ImageImageImageImage
Trump keeps repeating that the US has so many cases because they test so many people, but he is unable to answer why the US has so many deaths

TrUMP: “When I took over we didn’t even have a test”

SWAN: “Why would you have a test? The virus didn’t exist.”
His ex-professor called #Trump "the dumbest student I ever had".

Tillerson called him "a moron".

McMaster compared his IQ to “a kindergardner".

Graham called him a "race-baiting bigot".

Sadiq called him a “fascist”.

Boris said he was “out of his mind” & “stupefying ignorant” Image
Whilst Trump may be all these things, it's important to remember he is just a front man.

Like his counter-part, #BorisJohnson, who uses the #BumblingStrategy to distract, confuse & sometimes endear, #Trump uses his own bluster to keep all focus on him.
Why do two of the wealthiest countries in the world have the worst #COVID19 death rates?

Why did they both ignore what was happening in Italy & get it wrong on lock down, testing, PPE, track & trace, masks, etc.

Could they be following the same strategy?
You can't argue with stupid.....

Trump Interviewing himself mash-up created by Justin T Brown. @axios #DonaldTrumpInFiveWords #DonaldTrump #Trump @realDonaldTrump
"If we would have gone herd we would have lost millions of people"

At the end of March, #DonaldTrump alluded to the UK #HerdImmunity strategy saying "thanks OK if you like death."

In this interview he talks about "herd" more openly. #HerdImmunityScandal

Wow!

Incredible news to wake up to

Julian Assange is free after a plea deal

He was released on bail from Belmarsh prison & boarded a plane which is currently heading to Australia

His release is a testament to those fought for his freedom #JulianAssange

Julian Assange is scheduled to appear in a federal court in Saipan, a US commonwealth in the Pacific, where he’s expected to plead guilty to one charge under the Espionage Act & be sentenced to 5yrs

Given he’s already served this time, he should walk free
The public have a right to know what their govts do in their name

Julian #Assange’s prosecution represented a grave threat to press freedom, undermining the key role of journalists & publishers in scrutinizing govts misdeeds & creating a chilling effect

1/. Four years, ago this tweet👇broke the #CareHomeScandal

The govt had INSTRUCTED hospitals to send people “who may have #COVID19” to care homes WITHOUT TESTING

They KNEW about asymptomatic transmission in Jan 2020

Many thousands died

This revelation led to other questions…
Image
2/. From the start of the pandemic the govt had given #Palantir, a US spyware company with reported links to #CambridgeAnalytica, access to NHS health data

The NHS = the most trusted brand in the UK

Cambridge Analytica = the least trusted

Disturbing…

3/. Palantir worked on the NHS data store with #FacultyAI - a company with ties to Cummings

In 2020, @amnesty warned that Big Tech firms might use the COVID crisis to hoover up genomic data, obliterating the last frontier of privacy: our biological selves

1/. “It is the greatest mass-killing in recorded history; & it goes on daily, hourly, as regularly as the ticking of your watch”

Arthur Koestler’s 1944 essay expressing frustration at the failure of the world to acknowledge Nazi atrocities resonates today

2/ “There are a few of us…yelling at you in newspapers…Now & then we reach your ear…But it only lasts a minute. You shake yourself like puppies who’ve got their fur wet; then the screen again descends & you walk on, protected by the dream-barrier which stifles all sound”
#Gaza Image
3/ Koestler notes maniacs lose contact with reality so “perhaps it’s we, the screamers, who react in a sound & healthy way to the reality which surrounds us, whereas you are the neurotics who totter about in a screened fantasy world because you lack the faculty to face the facts” Image

“They got me!” Liz Truss tells far-right kingpin, Steve Bannon, before going on to explain that, to have effectively tackled “the deep state” that runs Britain & its institutions, she would have “needed a bigger bazooka”! #LizTruss #BritanniaUnchained
"I was just saying it like it is & that’s what people respect me for"(!)

Liz Truss’ compares her premiership to a one night stand & says she was just “fattening the pig” for slaughter & that she should have gaslit the public like Rishi Sunak is doing (!)
"I faced the most almighty backlash...from the usual suspects in the media” Liz Truss

“Truss's decline is simultaneously tragic & horrifying but the claim that the media conspired against her can't go unchallenged. There are front pages praising her to the rafters” @mrjamesob

Despite previous denials, Michelle Mone finally admits her involvement in failed PPE supplier Medpro

There should be a criminal investigation into possible intentional breach of beneficial ownership disclosure rules

The govt VIP Lane needs investigating

Something about the #MichelleMone interview doesn’t pass the smell test

Why are Mone & her husband - currently under criminal investigation in UK & Spain - being given a prime time slot to tell ‘their side of the story’?

5 questions @bbclaurak should ask

@bbclaurak “I don’t honestly think there’s a case to answer. I can’t see what we’ve done wrong” @MichelleMone

Wow! #MichelleMone & #DougBarrowman on @bbclaurak’s programme, this morning

As the 2nd module of the #CovidInquiry begins covering “core UK decision-making & political governance”, comes news that Rishi Sunak - like Boris Johnson - has also fail to fully comply with the order to hand his WhatsApp messages

Both claim they can’t access key messages
#COVID
Image
“The govt needs get professional IT experts to recover these messages”

Charles Persinger who lost his wife & mother to #COVID, echoes the call of @CovidJusticeUK’s lawyers calling on the @covidinquiryuk to commission experts to retrieve Sunak & Johnson’s ‘lost’ WhatsApp messages
“It was like watching his death approach & seeing every mistake that was made”

@LoreleiKing describes listening to the timeline of govt inaction in the months leading to her husband’s death of #COVID19

Bereaved families want accountability #Covidinquiry
