Booing the knee is going to be this summer's version of defending Churchill's statue... but Southgate's brave and well-argued stance means we can use it as a teachable moment bs fascism 1/... medium.com/mosquito-ridge…
1/ ... the core conceit of British racism is that the system is not racist: having an empire, running the slave trade, allowing systematic police racism had no long term effect ... medium.com/mosquito-ridge…
... so it's not racist to boo an anti-racist gesture; in fact it's an insult to Britain to suggest the racists are racist... next fascism .... medium.com/mosquito-ridge…

Ten reasons to opt out of the NHS data grab today. 1/ NHS will take your sensitive data - STIs, mental health, ethnicity, sexual orientation - which it can sell to the private sector without any further permission from you... & anonymity is reversible... newstatesman.com/science-tech/2…
2/ ... if you are thinking "OK where do I find the form" - do not Google it. Download this Type 1 Opt Out form from the NHS, fill it in and send to your GP either by email, post or hand it in asap... digital.nhs.uk/binaries/conte…
3/ back to the reasons... The data grab is being rushed. there is no public information campaign. Informed choice is not being created for millions of people. GPs fear it will dent our trust in them. newstatesman.com/science-tech/2…

The equation of #BLM with Marxism - let's call it what it is: a fascist trope, drawn logically from the Great Replacement Theory. Marxists support #BLM but so do many social-democrats, liberals and, obviously, football players...
.... when Turning Point and their online grifters amplify the "cultural Marxism" slander, they are proving a key point in #HowToStopFascism... right wing populism has failed as a firewall against fascism: it is being consumed by fascism...
... don't look in the political science textbooks for an explanation of this: look to history. Google D'Annunzio, Hugenberg - populism is anti-theoretical, fascism profoundly theoretical.... the theory fills the void in the heads of boneheads, misogynists and racists...

Get your flares out and grow sideburns... the "greedy worker" myth is back from the 1970s... here's why 1/ Brexit means a shortage of precarious workers... manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/food-…
2/ Furlough but more importantly the relaxation of coercion in the benefit system has made people confident to turn down jobs on crap wages... let's see how popular Sunak is when he tries to reverse that...
3/ Lockdown acted as a circuit breaker - two years worth of undergraduates and 6th formers reassessing their life choices ...

Cummings revelation on herd immunity strategy prompts 2x questions: 1/ Why did it take until 9 March for experts to convince HMG the strategy was catastrophic? 2/...
...2/ Why did @peston get briefed on 12 March that herd immunity was still the strategy? Indeed why did the concept of lockdown take so long to form and implement?
3/ The idea that Johnson was "busy writing a bio of Shakespeare to fund his divorce" sounds like classic maskirovka ... Whitehall doesn't malfunction in that way: they'd gone gangbusters for an ideologically-driven strategy of herd immunity...
