I cannot believe a Brexit sold on lies sponsored by shadowy funders turns out to be a golden opportunity for said liars and said funders (who happen to specialise in disaster capitalist)
Really who could have see it coming
And now, after the “tremendous success” of Brexit, here’s what Legatum sponsors.
Now what could an entity that thrives on chaos expect it to achieve I wonder?
Any chance that new sponsoring could, one more time, “coincidentally“ serve its interests?
Country where people don’t have ID cards makes being rich enough to afford a drivers’ licence or a passport compulsory for voting
Also a restriction on bringing postal votes directly to the polling station that as best strikes as bizarre to me theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
It's true, us French people have to present a photo ID to vote (except in localities with less than a 1,000 people)
But we have
- A *free* ID card (not compulsory but so needed we generally have one)
- A *free* sécurité sociale (health) card
Where is the free British photo ID?
This basically is the spirit of our old "suffrage censitaire" system
'Only the "worthy" (understand "privileged") vote'
(That -FTR- led to 1848 French Revolution)
(Autotranslate that 👇if needed, the English version talks about something else) fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffrage_…
When my kid got meningitis it costed roughly €1,000 (5 days in hospital)
As my (French) private *complementary* insurance had lapsed
(I was too rich for full coverage, not enough to pay the monthly fees)
I reactivated the insurance (costed €500)
They said they’d pay
They didn’t
Then the insurance lapsed again -before they sorted the administrative mess that was the reason they hadn’t paid
When I sold my family house, I was able to get my medical insurance back.
Well
I paid them
I should have it back since April
I still don’t
Cos administrative something
In the meanwhile the hospital bill ended up in a bailiff office.
That costed me €150 already.
And may cost me more if administrative something isn’t sorted fast.
So when guy who wouldn’t last 5 min as HS says ‘yeah private insurance!’
He’s just competing for King of Fools Award
Looking at French "The path to the next lockdown" agenda
Thinking: "Are we trying to be world leading in epidemiostupidity in Europe? Why go for mixing the unvaccinated?"
Opening Twitter
Oh look an indoor mass event for the unvaccinated
UK you are unbeatable
"But they got tested!"
"Testing can miss the virus"
"Not that often"
"Oh right, for it to be reckless you would need to mix hundreds of people indoor and oh well hang on"
"CAN YOU SAY MAAASKLEEEEESS, PAAACKED AGAINST EACH OOOTHER, PAAANTING AND NOT VAAAAACCINATED YEEEEEEEEET?"
Part of this network of charities.
Working hard to make the word better (for their funders’ profits) by stirring up hatred, gaslighting and division
But hey congratulations for making it into the club
Guess the best trick is to be cool about it tho @SellingAMirror
“Let’s make it an artistic composition“
(Or some people actually do hold their phone like that)
To finish @SellingAMirror I give you “the weird blue slipper“
A very, very small number of people may react badly to AZ vaccine.
Does it mean it shouldn’t be used? No.
Does it mean scientists shouldn’t try to understand why? No.
Should the public be warned so the very very small number gets medical attention if needed? Yes.
In an ideal world where patents are waived and all countries produce lots of vaccine, and countries work together, we could simply chose what vaccine works best for what segment of the population and organise globally. Not what we are doing. So we’re stuck with risk mitigation.
The risk of catching Covid and things not going well are much higher than vaccine side effect. So getting the vaccine is the thing to do -while being wary of extremely rare potential side effect.
