I get the uproar
I mean corruption in govt is one thing, openly absolving it another
The 1 thing is, it was utterly predictable
They were elected by cheating the rules to apply a policy whose one & only “benefit” is the ability to get rid of the rules
Ofc they’re going for that

It’s basically between cronycracy and democracy now -This ain’t normal times
Building a coalition would not only make sense, but send a strong message
The ball is in your court, together you stand, divided you (and the country) fall
(Guys it can be temporary)
Hello again @EdwardJDavey @Keir_Starmer @CarolineLucas
You could call your (temporary) coalition UK Alliance against Corruption or something. Everyone keep their party, everyone recruits their own members, but you work together to save democracy
Or is he right? 👇
Oh come on

Sweden's strategy in a nutshell, as emulated by UK govt
(From May 2020, article by strategy architect Johan Giesecke -The man who hired Tegnell)
"The battle is lost"
@chrischirp @dgurdasani1 @carolecadwalla
Note this is based on the "marvelled" theory that herd immunity was to be reached once everyone was infected, because (that's another article: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…) potential providential immunity we can't see, nor understand would kick in. ImageImage
I get the will to believe infection would provide immunity, but use that hypothesis as a base for a "take it on the chin" strategy when no long term observation was available and the virus -as a virus- was susceptible to mutate, that I can't get.

From times to times, I diverge from politics and say stuff about my life.
Sometimes awful, sometimes fun.
Sometimes it can be both at the same time.
Like that time my "dad" (been adopted since them by the man who raised me) lost us on a volcano.
But it was "OK", it was pretty 😬 Image
I was 10, my baby brother was 6.
Our month of holidays with "dad" was an occasion to "compensate" how we were "pathetically raised" by our mother (as in, normally if that's a thing).
So we were lucky enough to visit 2 to 3 museums a day (to be cultured) and get trek training.
When we arrived on Stromboli Island, we had already spend almost a month in Italy, mostly visiting 6 hours a day while reading out loud the Michelin Green Guide and replying to insighful questions to make sure we'd remember everything.
Say we were tired would be an understatement

"Trusted source" is indeed tricky to assess.
But two simple steps -check the journalist's record, and look for corroboration sources- are good ways to separate what's reliable from dishonesty/propaganda.
FTR it should be taught in schools
(Kids can get it -and need to)
And it's not just about politics: It's about disinfo in general.
Last year my then 8 yrs old came home from his dad telling me about this boy who could "set things on fire with his eyes" (something he had seen on TV)
"It's a true thing mum, some experts said so!"
...
To assess the veracity of the claim, we did an Internet search.
First search page claimed the boy existed and "experts" had confirmed it.
So we took a look at the sources. Their name, their other claims. Kid soon realised they were talking bullsh**.

Today after work, the kids and I will climb into our (sofa) spaceship to go camping in the depths of the Imaginary sea (aka in my room) on planet Spircllllllr (Kids picked the name) somewhere in Dragonfire constellation.
Since we can’t afford an actual trip -we went big.
A few tricks if you can’t afford to leave too but he never gone camping in a room or leaving room
-You actually don’t need a tent (we don’t have one.) Sleeping out is fine.
-Background sounds do the trick
-Once the light are out (or dimmed out) go for your exploratory excursion
Each can describe what they see -note it can be quite long. We once spent two hours looking out the stars through the sky windows describing the various dragons flying by.
-Make up the story of the place you are in. Its inhabitants, cooking, weird langage. how it was discovered…

Today the kids got a lively demo of how a car hitting your stopped car is a moment you’re glad you have your seat belt on, even when it’s not going fast.
Fortunately only the car got hurt.
The stroke of luck continues.
FTR today is the day mum started chemo.
"Peachy" day, one might say.
But hey I gotta work now and tonight, so you know, lucky girl and all that.
(Joke aside I guess unmetastased cancer and unwounding car accident should be considered luck)
(Just wouldn't spit on actual luck :-)
In other news the Christmas tree landed in France in 1840, thanks to German princess Hélène de Mecklembourg, the dil of king Louis-Philippe Ier.
At that time it had already stopped being decorated with red apples symbolising the original sin, replaced by lights, cakes &small toys

"There was a core group of awkward squad MPs centred around Steve Baker, John Baron, Peter Bone, Douglas Carswell, Chris Chope, Philip Hollobone, David Nuttall and Mark Reckless, although others would drift in and out."

"They would meet for an hour, every Tuesday morning at 08:30 in Room R, an out-of-the-way committee room in the parliamentary office building, Portcullis House, to go through the Commons agenda, seeking opportunities to push their views&agree on tactics. "It never, never leaked."
"On govt side, the whips spotted there was an organised low-key insurgency under way, but, as 1 senior figure now admits, they didn't spot how organised&more importantly how strategic the whole exercise was. They dismissed the group as chronic conspirators w/time on their hands"
