Read this by @GeorgeMonbiot. Every word.

This is where we are.

Don't let everything our ancestors fought for be taken away from us by a handful of Libertarian billionaires, press barons, hedge-funders, & damaged privately educated right-wing ideologues.

The Pegasus spyware turns us into informants against ourselves. No one subject to this spying can now plan, however peacefully and democratically, to replace a government without those plans being known in advance and in all likelihood thwarted.

The new surveillance tools complement a formidable array of modern weapons: Dark ads on social media; thinktanks using dark money to turn outrageous ideas that favour the ruling class into apparent common sense; voter suppression; the stuffing of the courts;

"Healthcare regulators in the UK and US have approved the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine as safe for use in children between 12 and 15. Already 25% of 12- to 15-year-olds across the US are fully vaccinated, while a third of them have received one dose.

'Israel, Italy & France are vaccinating children in the age group 12 - 16, while Germany gives parents the ability to “opt-in” for the vaccine based on informed consent. The approach in England seems to be to let teenagers get it & see what happens once they’re infected.'
"The result will be an uncontrolled epidemic among younger age groups. Some British scientists aren’t alarmed by this, pointing to other diseases such as seasonal flu, which cause more hospitalisations among children than Covid-19."

Just Boris Johnson doing a very convincing impression of a fascist dictator.
Can you really not see what it is yet?

'An “unprecedented” coalition of more than 220 organisations has attacked proposed changes to the Human Rights Act and judicial review as a threat to freedom and justice.'

Far-right shit-stirrer & GB "News" presenter Nigel Farage & the Daily Mail have turned viewers & readers against the @RNLI by accusing them of facilitating illegal immigration.

Heroic RNLI volunteers will continue their humanitarian work saving lives.

theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/j…
Mark Dowie, CEO of the @RNLI, said: “These islands have the reputation for doing the right thing & being decent societies, & we should be very proud of the work we’re doing to bring these people home safe.”

ALL decent people support the RNLI's humanitarian work. 🙏
Dowie’s comments came as the Government prepares to enact its controversial borders & nationality bill, which aims to criminalise migrants who attempt illegal routes into the UK.

Dowie stressed that the RNLI’s role was solely to save lives, not to act as a border control force.
