Look no further than Toby Young, his so called ‘Free Speech Union’, a cover for Alt-right lobby network which has invested considerable effort in normalising racist pseudoscience, platforming white identity politics.
@MalcolmNeeds54@lifeintheday55@mrjamesob Young’s alt-right website Lockdownsceptics.org a wealth of conspiratorial pseudoscientific disinformation around the COVID pandemic,encouraging the public to flout protective public health guidelines designed to keep people safe
2/ Hillsong - controversial & under fresh scrutiny
A celebrity pastor, “a victim of his own church”, fired for “moral failure” - the woman he had an affair with - the ex-church member that sees the pastor as a small part of a much bigger, broken system.
2/ HSE inspectors have not issued any enforcement notices on companies for Covid safety breaches since the start of the latest lockdown, despite having been contacted 2,945 times between 6-14 January about safety issues. theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
3/ The Govt narrative is to blame & threaten with heavy fines, those who fail to comply, but
Of 97,000 Covid safety cases the HSE has dealt with during the pandemic, only 0.1% appear to have resulted in the issuing of an improvement or prohibition notice theguardian.com/world/2021/jan…
Another excellent @BylineTimes article highlighting the dangerous ideology of the Covid19 denialists -
- who it seems have now taken to pushing their dangerous propaganda via a leaflet (see article) now being posted through letterboxes in Southeast England bylinetimes.com/2021/01/07/wer…
2/ In this leaflet titled “Back To Normal” 🤦♀️ the Covid denialists twist facts to support their dangerous “herd immunity” theory.
They quote Sweden as a success story - a Royal Society of Medicine article differs - @toadmeister take note.
Covid19: herd immunity in Sweden fails to materialise
12 Aug 2020
Sweden’s policy of allowing the controlled spread of Covid19 viral infection among the population has so far failed to deliver the country’s previously stated goal of herd immunity...
@BorisJohnson gaslighting dither & delay Government helped create conditions for the new covid strain to emerge
1/ When it became clear that schoolchildren were likely contributing significantly to the spread of the virus, his Government denied & issued legal threats to schools
2/ Scientists issued repeated warnings that allowing households to mix during Xmas would lead to a surge in cases.
@BorisJohnson Government refused to heed that advice, U-turned predictably days before Xmas, causing chaos to people’s plans, with crowded scenes at train stations.
3/ Viruses mutate & adapt as they multiply and, if we continue to have high levels of transmission in the population i.e. more cases, this provides fertile ground for new mutations to arise.
Sadly, but very avoidably, this is exactly what @BorisJohnson Government has provided.
MAJOR FAILURE OF COVID RELATED SERVICES AT UK BORDERS
Nearly 2 million passengers entered UK June to September 2020.
Launched by the Home Secretary, run by 2 private firms, the Isolation Assurance Service only made contact with 3.5% (66,800) to ensure they were isolating🤦♀️
2/ The Government’s half-hearted, privatised approach to critical COVID-related services also extending to virus control at Britain’s borders by the IAS appears to have failed to ensure self-isolation by international travellers.

3/ When launching the IAS in June, Home Secretary Priti Patel said Public Health England (PHE) would “undertake checks and ensure that people understand and are following the rules”....

1/ DWP continues its disgusting campaign of discrimination some of the most vulnerable people in society.
Govt is again facing possible claims of unlawful discrimination against thousands of disabled people.

2/ The Government is again facing possible claims of unlawful discrimination against thousands of severely disabled people, who have already been left £60 a month worse off after moving to universal credit (UC).
3/ Initially they (severely disabled) faced losing all of their old “severe disability premium” payments of around £180 under the previous system when they were switched to the much-criticised UC....
