Worth noting that Downdens anti woke speech was for the Heritage Foundation

Part of the Koch network it wages culture wars, pushing climate change denial and now the network pushes covid disinformation

👏 @OliverDowden for working for the interests of foreign billionaires
1/
The Heritage Foundation
Koch and Thiel funded culture wars in the US and have brought them to the UK

@OliverDowden is deeply unpatriotic, can wave his flags as much as he likes but truth is he's manufacturing division for the benefit of foreign interests
Anyone checked who paid for his jolly?
How many media sources will report on the speech?
How many will go into details about the Heritage Foundation?
Most the "alternative" left wing media will probably be too busy fighting factional warfare
Incase ppl miss this reply to me I'll add the link here

Heritage Foundation is bragging about voter suppression, they are an anti democratic organisation how does this square with "British values" @OliverDowden?

🤔
Truss, Sunak etc, seems like the whole tory party are now linked to the same think tanks and opaquely funded think tanks that now have complete control of the Republican party.

Just look at Steve Baker
@OliverDowden is this what "Defence of democracy looks like?"
@OliverDowden said the clamping down on expression is a sign of fragility

Well this government must be feeling very fragile
Even Newsround appears to be considered radically subversive to this government

🧵This is how to wage culture wars in education to force through policies

"Activist propoganda"
2/ We get the typical rhetoric designed to anger the paper's readers, RW love enemies and the point of this is to make Education workers the enemy, deliberate long term strategy

"Brain washing"
"Worrying race theories"
"Education not indoctrination"
3/ What actually happened?
A class watched an episode of Newsround, afterwards some students asked if they could write to their MP with their opinion

The MPs had a melt down that children were expressing a negative opinion of Johnson and went to the papers and @nadhimzahawi

🧵Latest SAGE advice to UK government

➡️SAGE minutes
➡️SPI
➡️Future evolution of SARS-COV-2

In summary, this doesn't support details coming out about the Government's "living with covid" plans
2/ To start with, future evolution of the virus document and the discussion of this in the SAGE meeting

Possible scenarios
3/ All scenarios assume we reach stable reoccurring patterns over a 2-10 year period

Immune escape of future variants and waning immunity will be important factors

Possible to end up with more than one variant co-circulating

Is this really appropriate behaviour from an organisation which is funding and acting as secretariat to a UK All Party Parliamentary Group?

A student at Stanford questions Bhattacharya's actions through the pandemic and they call him a snake

1/
2/ Then the pile on begins with the offer of a debate, but hosted and moderated by Prasad, not exactly a fair neutral when he's also been involved with Bhattacharya and Brownstone

"Hey want to play on an unequal playing field"
3/Worth bearing in mind that the offer was made for a town hall where Bhattacharya could answer to the student body, however despite his large international profile, Bhattacharya and his minions feel the need to set their own terms, looks like cowardice

Some more key Characters and organisations
Online organising
Funding
Insurrection
International spread

Case of Emergency has just been declared
2/ Unsurprisingly there's been a lot of disinformation about the Siege

Disinfo groups exaggerating the size
RW media ignoring or distancing the far right links

A fact check on the past week
3/ People have been busy detailing the coalition of extremist, Qanon conspiracy, neo nazis, anti vaxxers etc

Short🧵In 2020 the Government shifted responsibilities to newly formed JBC

This was supposed to be the group that would be responsible for deciding when measures would be removed

Have they had any involvement in governments latest declare everything over strategy?
Remember the Viral Nandos chart and other iterations?

This was supppsee to have come from JBC, with them deciding what level of risk we are at

Problem is the JBC is shrouded in complete secrecy nearly two years after its creation.

We don't have a member list
We don't get minutes released
We haven't even heard any reference to them for a long time

I wonder if any Journalist will ask about JBC?
