Ought to be a scoop but instead it comes in the form of a casual anecdote from another Tory journo who was enjoying the party.

The Scotsman posted an article about the rap battle. Deleted it. Then reposted it with the BBC's denial it ever happened.

So it seems the BBC is going for the 'didn't happen' approach. If there's video it will have been taken by a Tory, so who's going to leak it. But there is other video of Gove 'rapping'.

Doing your best to support them would be donating to the strike fund, joining solidarity pickets if nearby, blocking distribution, last but not least trying to organize your own workplace. But what else can we expect from Democrat nominees.

Every time there's a strike at a brand there's like a hundred tweets telling you 50 products to boycott and another hundred telling you the workers haven't called for a boycott. Unless this is part of a concerted effort to shut operations down it makes little difference.
What would really fuck Kellogg's up is if the haulage drivers who deliver grain and packaging to factories, and the ones that pick up for supermarket distribution refused to cross picket lines so that any scab labor literally cannot work.

[spoiler]

Pretty sure there's reference to this in squid game.
Now wondering if this reference is why it got rejected for ten years, and also whether there was more made of it in the original script. Also what a series about the factory occupation would be like.

Dore, Greenwald, and Blumenthal all at it now too, some for several weeks.

Boosting antivax articles from a website that exists solely due to patronage of a hedge fund investor to own the libs.

The ivermectin thing is weird, both that the grifters are all apparently in on it and also some aspects of the response which are overly focused on it being a horse dewormer.

By 'school' he doesn't mean the students, who staged a sit-in yesterday, and he doesn't mean the teachers, who are balloting for strike action and passed a vote of no confidence in the principal. So who does he mean? Just the head and the academy trust no doubt.
Behaviour adviser to the DfE just lying about what's going on for the past day.

Arson is when you set fire to a building or other structure. Setting fire to a flag after it's been taken down from a building isn't arson, it's just burning a flag.

Lol your name is currently on a magazine next to a guy who hangs out with, and writes articles in support of, Nazis. These pro-Nazi articles were published in the same magazine your name currently appears on

Spare me your faux-concern about Jewish people's panic, you utter fraud
Here are a couple of Taki's pro-Nazi articles. How's that miasma around the Spectator, @Baddiel?
Here's Taki hanging out with neo-Nazi, Richard Spencer. And here's a picture of Richard Spencer on a night out with friends

Starting to see this kind of commentary and people need to stop. Proof of vaccination for a flight has a lot of precedent. 'Vaccine passports' are not this though, the term is being used to mean domestic ID cards.
The UK is considering domestic vaccine (or potentially 'covid status' allowing for a recent negative test too) passports to cover activities such as going to the pub or theatre.

How easy is it going to be to present a vaccine passport in the US if you're undocumented?
