Look at what is coming your way
"The consultation will also gather preliminary views on the potential for wider reform of GMO regulations."

UK, UK
Don't doubt it: It's coming your way
"Techniques such as gene editing are really a natural evolution of conventional approaches to plant breeding"
gov.uk/government/spe…
We've reached nature expertise level, apparently.
"What we are now able to do through techniques such as gene editing is to more accurately move traits within the same species in a way that could happen naturally and which therefore respects the rules of nature"
"See? No need to fix the disastrous way we drain and pollute the environment by adopting a more sensible way to live. We'll just tech our issues away! (blah blah EU bashing, if it's not EU it has to be good)"
@GeorgeMonbiot ICYMI -UK GMOs upcoming boom announced loud and clear
"based on science" he says.
As this went so well the last time.
It's hardly a surprise tho.
Meet the IEA (shadowy funders') sponsored Brexit plan
What a coincidence
I mean it's almost as if the IEA &co (shadowy funders) had a special link with the current govt. Almost.
Quick question, is £5 million worth contracts a lot? (In 7 years)
(Also NIAB seems really nice, one contract was priced £0)
(@WritesBright @allthecitizens in case you're interested in GMO upcoming booming recently announced by Eustice - see thread 👆)
contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Search/Results
Interesting contracts.
Probably totally worth the money.
Oh wait, we're talking £14.4 m actually
FTR I do know that ofc some companies work closely w/ the govt. Just wondering about their links when the govt sets a policy that is potentially going to overwhelmingly benefit said company, while impacting an overwhelming number of others

”Exit your job”
Now that would have looked good on the Brexit bus
(Funny that happens when govt is negotiating a FTA that will open the door to make agriculture unsustainable)
gov.uk/government/new…
I’m particularly interested in this ”get paid not to farm” concept.
Also in the ”next generation of land owners -sorry, farmers- and ”existing farmers who wish to” go greener -er, ”expand to improve their profitability”
”Fresh thinking” Tory-style to ”boost farm productivity” 🤔
OK I think we found "fresh thinking to boost farm productivity"

And Australia trade deal is just the beginning

“A great country for a great price“
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
I mean not like there were obvious links

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)

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?"
