"Nigel Farage furious as police find no evidence of ‘family voting’ in Gorton and Denton by-election"

I raised the alarm, in the Gorton and Denton by-election, that the allegations of "family voting" were likely false and malicious.

1/independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
The pollster who went to the Tory Press with these claims was a Tory Peer i.e. right wing. It is not clear who these Democracy Volunteers are, and what their political allegiances were.

2/threadreaderapp.com/thread/2027184…
However, it is clear that both this organization, was founded on the premise of "family voting" a conspiracy theory that Asian families coerce family members in how they vote, and Lord Hayward pushed the legislation.

I'm baffled by our media, not fit for purpose. They are still trying to spin this Trump/Netanyahu shit show, and normalize it, by pretending that their goals are somehow achievable. Probably to bolster the financial markets.
1/5
How are these propagandists, going to spin it in a few months time, when Trump/Netanyahu, have achieved nothing, and the world is plunged into chaos? They should have been holding these 2 lunatics to account, to pressure them into ceasing and desisting.
2/5
An even bigger enemy to humankind than lunatics like Trump/Netanyahu, is the media, who stopped reporting the news ages ago, and at the behest of their oligarch owners, turned into propagandists, gaslighting the public.

A huge thanks to @ZackPolanski and the rest of the @TheGreenParty for restoring sanity and humanity, to British politics, and ignoring the received wisdom, that no politician or party can say positive things, or it is political suicide.
1/🧵
As we can see now, and @ZackPolanski has exposed Keir Starmer for the fraud he is, in claiming that his nasty authoritarian, anti-people policy, was a political necessity. No it was a choice of Starmer, and the regressive forces he represents.
2/
@ZackPolanski has done a marvellous job in interviews on mainstream TV of being level-headed, in answering the attempts to trip him up, in an intelligent and persuasive way. I think the attacks and smears are backfiring, because people do not see what they are being told.

I am hoping @ChrisGPackham will understand this as a naturalist, and he has some understanding of ecology and biodiversity, because my important points about this assessment are being ignored.

My central point is these redacted parts are of little use to us.
1/🧵
I completely agree with @GreenRupertRead that these parts should never have been redacted. However, the idea that the full unredacted report, would help us better understand these threats, is profoundly mistaken, and the ITN report is misleading.
2/
I have been making the same warnings for decades, and they were actually based on the same science and references, as this assessment used.

My point, is we don't know enough about the way our human systems rely on natural systems, to confidently make such projections.

I will have to make a subsidiary thread, because the general knowledge of biodiversity and ecology is so poor, that the vast majority of people don't realize I am making profound, expert points.
1/🧵
I'll start with my point about species. Most are not familiar with this, as they have zero education about it, so they probably think I'm just trying to be controversial. There is no single definition of a species, and all break down at some point.

2/nhm.ac.uk/discover/what-…
"There’s no exact figure for how many species live on Earth. As of 2024, more than 2.1 million species have been scientifically described and named, but this is likely to be nowhere near the true number living on the planet."

I want to explain, why hardly anyone understands what biodiversity is.

1) The number of species on Earth, is completely unknown. Their ecological interactions, even more unknown.

2) There is no satisfactory definition of what a species is.
1/🧵
In other words, it is almost impossible for a layperson to understand biodiversity intellectually, when they have fundamental misconceptions about the core concepts of biodiversity. Ecology, the interactions of these species, is even less understood.
2/
What is known about the most complex field of knowledge known to humanity, is a tiny fraction of what could be known, and most of it is probably unknowable on a level of complexity, impossible for us to comprehend.
