TUC cancels its cost of living protest outside Tory conference.
Lots of local union branches in the replies/qts that already spent money on coaches.

Millions of people marched against the war, thousands stormed military bases, hundreds of thousands of school children ran out of school and blocked roads.
Disbelief at the WMD allegations was so mainstream that former foreign secretary Robin Cook resigned from Tony Blair's cabinet over it. The liberal 'can't go to war without more weapons inspections/UN resolutions' soft anti-war position hinged on it.

What you didn't get much of, and nor did anti-war movement require it, was denying the Halabja massacre, or saying the Kurds deserved it because they were agents of American imperialism (the US supported Saddam at the time of the massacre), or saying Ba'athism was socialist etc.

They also allow governments to appear tough and *doing something* in ways that are popular with the media, allowing nearly everyone to ignore much more structural issues like sick pay.

A few months ago the UK was able to genomically sequence about 10,000 PCR tests per week. There are currently about 280,000 positive PCR tests per week in the UK.

I don't know how many samples South Africa can sequence per day, but they had cases in the hundreds a couple of weeks ago, now low thousands. Much easier to find variants when you're dealing with hundreds or low thousands of samples to sequence.

Botswana ordered half a million doses from Moderna months ago and doesn't have them yet, you fucking ghoul.

Gets about half a sentence in this NYT piece.

Next time there's a tube or bus strike will you be saying this too?
There's plenty to criticise Insulate Britain, but 'stopping ordinary people going about their business' really is not it. Especially when that particular protest is in the City of London and it costs £15/day to even drive down that road.

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.
