Why would anyone need to "flee their home immediately"?
Apparently, @30Days30WaysUK is some new UK-wide propaganda campaign.

This is another weird stunt, intended to unsettle people -- to use fear and anxiety as political instruments.

"#30Days30WaysUK, the national campaign of preparedness activities and games via social media:"

Until Copenhagen in 2009, the main hope of COP climate talks was a one-size-fits-all emissions-reduction policy. At Paris in 2015, that was finally abandoned, and emphasis moved to making local government, not national, the main weapon of climate policy. How it's going...
The green blob realised that national governments were unable to pass draconian legislation to change society.

But local politics was in such a sorry state that it would be easier to capture by small numbers of activists.
Turnouts were as low as 12%. And it was very easy to lobby local politicians to form a consensus on issues that were proxies of climate change. Air pollution and planning policies, for example, advanced the climate agenda, with Tory, Lab and Lib Dem and Green support.

Hi @Ed_Miliband. Look how much UK gas prices have fallen since the April energy price cap was introduced. From £1.42/therm to 89p. That's a 37% decrease.

Will the Jul-October price cap be lowered, and when it is, will you explain that this is because of "global gas prices"? Image
@Ed_Miliband Here's the 10-year view.

We should be seeing lower bills, right? Image
@Ed_Miliband Also, since the price on "global markets" has dropped, and since the April-June price cap was lifted ahead of this drop, many energy companies still charging the full whack. So the next price cap should reflect the excess payments, too, right?

I don't.

And I don't think urging other countries to war at our expense is any definition of "standing with" worth defending.

Hundreds of thousands are now dead because of "standing with". Hundreds of thousands more are now fatherless, sonless, widowed...

You make a claim on behalf of "Britain" that you have never tested, and which your Prime Ministers could not even deliver for us.
Do you stand with people who are now scattered in bits across eastern Ukraine? How does one "stand with" people who lay beneath the ground? How does one express "solidarity" with young men snatched from the streets to be forced to the front line against their will?
Other people's wars make Toryboys feel all big and important about "global Britain". But their Ukrainian counterparts' children will never know their fathers. War is glorious when you don't have your comrade's guts blasted across your face. They've no idea what they "stand with".

Did you ever wonder how David Miliband, who oversaw the development of the Climate Change Act (and consequently Net Zero) landed a job worth a $million a year as a director of a charity?

Wonder no more... Image

Those are just *some* of the grants made by the government to the charity now directed by the former government minister.

He's worth every penny of that million bucks a year, as far as his extremely-well paid colleagues and appointers are concerned.
@CharlotteCGill @WokeWaste @procurementfile - if you haven't seen this tranche, it's worth taking a peek at. (On CF and DT).

Nasty morons, Liberal Democrats, who are neither liberal nor democratic.
They're like mini-milibands. They don't know how human language and communication work.

They are only able to invent stories about their political counterparts, to smear them. But they have no capacity for reason of their own.
I think the profound collapse of our democracy is understated. We are inured to it.

But here it is: a legislator claiming that another legislator is "pro-Russian" for his celebration of a newly democratically-appointed counterpart in an allied country.

BBC Media Action -- claims that "a free press is essential to freedom and democracy".

But when I revealed that @bbcmediaaction was working on behalf of dodgy billionaires and governments, to enforce particular political agendas they blocked me. Image
@bbcmediaaction Here is the thread that offended them...
@bbcmediaaction BBC Media Action were not concerned with a "free press" or "freedom and democracy".

They were supporting a lobby that demanded regulation of the press, to restrict freedom, to close down the free press, and thereby to limit democracy.

And they didn't want a discussion about it. Image
