In all the time that @allthecitizens has been broadcasting @IndependentSage’s weekly briefings, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the scientists express such utter disbelief
We are embarking on a massive herd immunity experiment. We are truly stepping into the unknown. Please watch.
These are 2 clips from @chrischirp’s presentation of the data. We are looking at 90k cases a day by July 19. Look at these charts. We’ve never seen infection on this scale. This is massive population-wide experiment of a type that no other country in the world is contemplating
I highly recommend watching whole briefing. This populist govt that has made mistakes time & time again. Labour Party is missing in action. And cohort of scientists who sounded alarm from start believe it’s unethical unnecessary profoundly hazardous gamble
And read all of @chrischirp’s essential thread here including her comprehensive debunking of the astonishing claims that it doesn’t matter if kids get it
Final point: this dangerous unethical experiment by the UK govt will have global consequences. We are looking at a million+ infections between now & July 19. A breeding ground for potential new variants. That would have disproportionate impact on rest of unvaccinated world

A new investigation by @thenerve_news has found Palantir has recruited more than 30 senior officials from UK govt, a strategy transparency experts say poses an ‘acute risk’ of corruption. 1/

Palantir recruited the two most senior AI strategists from the Ministry of Defence & NHS…& won multimillion £ contracts with both, a pattern repeated across the UK govt. 2/
NEW: I’ve found an opaque financial vehicle owns a large chunk of the Observer. And neither it or the Guardian will say who it is. Why?
Well there is a clue. Which goes by way of Saudi Arabia… 1/
The capture of US media orgs is accelerating. And the UK is next in line. The BBC has fallen to an AI hype guy. And my old newspaper, the Observer, is publishing Palantir puff pieces.
Distracted by the slaughter of children in Iran & Lebanon? Me too! But what better time could there be for govt to quietly relaunch its Digital ID plan?
Missed it? Me too! But look who’s celebrating…
The director of ‘govt innovation’ at the Tony Blair Institute! 1/
The govt noisily scrapped Digital ID after huge pushback when nobody bought its ‘it’ll solve immigration’ bollocks. But as markets tanked last week - kudos to the comms team! - it was discreetly re-launched with all-new messaging: a ‘common sense solution to everyday probs’
2/
Darren Jones, Cabinet Office secretary, put out a press release claiming the govt will be holding a ‘consultation’.
NOT: ‘Do you want the govt & unknown tech companies to have all your data?’
BUT: (I kid you not): ‘At what age should you be able to get a digital id?’ 🤔 3/
