FFS people this is from 2 weeks ago
The sh*t you're in?
Staff, food, fuel, heating shortage?
The IEA could make $100k out of it for "playing a significant role" in bringing that on you
See it's a success for its wealthy funders @VesperUK@NarcAware@stonesister7@PeterKGeoghegan
Although it's true the Templeton foundation/Atlas network has been funding the IEA for a while.
Basically it's now awarding a price/more funding to the project it funded.
"Good job mouthpiece! Here's the second part of your lobbying fees"
(ICYMI: Atlas is Templeton, Templeton is Atlas. The shy donors that can't say who they are because they are shy, not because the mouthpieces -sorry- "charities" they fund would lose their status as it'd be obvious they truly are undeclared lobbyists).
And there you go
Those "sink tanks" basically run your govt
But breaking news, "the UK's future is bright!"
(On paper and in tax dodgers/govt cronies' tax haven accounts)
And they call that "removing barriers to human flourishing"
While UK ppl pay theprice -It makes me sooo angry

Now that's interesting. @MarkJLittlewood will not answer my questions, so obviously *I* am a coward if I "ludicrously and embarassingly" do not agree to ask the questions he has no will to answer on camera.
(FTR I do indeed have a busy single mum schedule).
The thing is, I guess he has forgotten but he did answer my questions once.
Including one he now says he cannot answer.
Can I seriously expect a fact-based debate in good faith?
Nope
And when it comes to abusing logic/rhetoric contest, I'll give it to him: He's qualified, I'm not
I'm not even a journalist -Just a citizen researcher doing what I can on the little free time I have.
But it'd be a shame to spit on this opportunity
hey @PeterKGeoghegan@BylineTV@UE @MarkJLittlewood has 2 spare hours on October 11th to answer questions about shadowy funding!
Or @metpoliceuk could make sure it pairs its officers -one male, one female- so there’s 0 possibility to come across a lone, male officer
(Note the token of trust two male officers = 1 female officer)
Also @metpoliceuk what you’re saying by two male officers = 1 female officer is basically that males can’t be trusted around women, but if I may, may I remind you it’s kind of your job to make sure they have to.
This is not anecdotic.
You want trust restored, you need more women aboard and no lone male officer around ever again.
It’s not rocket science.
Govt had money to buy no-testing/no-tracing and unusable PPE from Covid cronies, it can find the #moneytree@metpoliceuk
”I am very proud to be a member of the group named after a civilisation that was eradicated because it was so focused on exceptionalism it ended up too isolated to survive”
Can’t make it up
This woman's voice is still featured in the media.
As an expert's expertise.
Despite going against all know numbers (hospital stats and studies show the vaccine is efficient at reducing transmission and avoiding severe disease/death).
And her opinion carries weight (1/n)
Because doctor Gupta is indeed a scientist.
According to antivaxx, "the most prominent epidemiologist in the world".
I do not deny her past expertise on different matters.
But when it comes to Covid... Why exactly is she asked anything about what she clearly got wrong?
Why ask her to explain on TV she thinks the vaccine is dispensable?
Her opinion on this was already clear last year before the vaccine was there. As well as her argument. Which is that Covid "will end naturally" / doesn't harm most people.
In 1120 in the French town of Laon, farmers went to court complaining that their harvest was being eaten by intruders. As in any trial, the intruders were defended by a lawyer, but were found guilty, ordered to leave within 6 days & excommunicated
Fun fact: They were caterpillars
Turns out trials against pests weren't that rare -and more often than not, they were excommunicated.
Interestingly that triggered debate about whether or not that was appropriate: Was it really possible to excommunicate pest that hadn't been baptized, and therefore were heretics?
(FTR currently working on a 200-pages History of France -I may share a few more WTF moments)
