🧵Sunak on @LBC talking about how freeports will boost jobs, because business will get big incentives

How much do those incentives cost us? Because it looks a lot like hes paying businesses to set up an onshore tax haven with reduced employment rights
2/ Freeports are sold as areas where normal rules/taxes are suspended, however the libertarian think tanks see the end outcome as essentially the privatisation of a port/city, when you've got ppl like Peter Thiel involved in a project...
3/ Consider that Freeport contract was handed to P&Os parent company and Singham from IEA is heavily involved in the project
4/ Other Freeport Ukraine/Russia
5/ UK and DP world with Freeports in Africa
6/ Whose been working on these Freeports?
Liz Truss, along with a lot of the Tory party she seems to think there's no such thing as too much Koch
7/ Sunaks father in law runs a company heavily involved in ports....
8/ Free ports project is cropping up around the world, keep seeing the same faces involved
9/ And it gets better

🧵The Swedish Deception

Extensive study on Sweden's covid strategy has been published in Nature. Contains extensive official documents and internal emails.

Very informative, let's take a look and compare to the UK

nature.com/articles/s4159…
2/ Sweden never officially admitted following herd immunity as a strategy, but internal docs show this was a significant consideration in policy decisions Image
3/ Internally Sweden saw children and schools as a way of facilitating herd immunity whole publicity claiming children didn't play a role in transmission Image

While there are ppl in the BBC engaged in intentional minimising, I think a greater number of reporters are surrounded with misinterpretation and don't understand the nuances when scientists explain

Not enough journalists are scientifically literate
To be honest I think we have an issue with the science curriculum and exam structure as clearly intelligent ppl, well educated in others lack basic functional understanding of scientific principles
It feels like there is a hierarchy of the acceptability of ignorance

In English the inability to do the basics, bad grammar and poor spelling,are considered by many to be a source of shame or embarrassment

They said..
Scrap masks to get back to normal
Stop isolating contacts
Stop testing
Stop isolating positive cases
That will end the disruption

Over 200k student off sick last week and schools moving to rotas due to lack of staff

So this is back to normality then?
1/
2/ They said the best place for children is in school

We said we agree, but if schools aren't made safe then we will face continued disruption and increasing burden on staff and students health

They said
Ventilation and filtration wasn't needed
Long covid wasn't an issue
3/ Masks were damaging education
Transmission in schools wasn't an issue

They claimed it wasn't the virus causing disruption, it was the measures

So all the measures are gone, they got their way, yet the disruption is increasing

Looks like issue was the virus not the measures

🧵Oh dear Conservative Woman really is quite extemist

Here they report on two failed court cases by Hoare and Jackson
2/ They claim there was convincing evidence about the dangers of vaccines, actually its a load of guff from HART and other similar groups
3/ I see the I'm not antivax,just anti this vax mask is slipping, now all child vax is collateral damage for the greater good?

🧵A failure to accept reality, the unsustainability of normality, and those seeking to rewrite history.

To start with the living with covid plan hasn't even been fully implemented yet and we already see a new wave rising
2/ First of all @sajidjavid made claims cases and hospitalisations were still falling, and wasn't pulled up in an interview that this wasn't true.

Then we are told rising cases are no cause for concern, the we are told to "brace", but at least we have more "freedom" than others Image
3/ Messaging is pandemic over, I thought the plan was to treat it like flu and other viruses, however the "Living with Covid" plan doesn't do this, instead it tries to pretend covid no longer exists

Chicken pox is notable in schools but not covid?

🧵Schools should be included as a vital part of an inquiry

I have kept a detailed timeline for exactly this purpose, children and staff have faced a reckless attitude to their personal health and due to dangerous ideology education suffered preventable disruption
2/ Mid March 2020 we were told schools need to stay open to help build up immunity
Then in April we were told children rarely get infected and are considerably less infectious

This was from Viners paper for Gov
3/ Schools were partially closed April and May, for around 6-8 weeks depending on their holidays

Staff were in school with keyworker and vulnerable children and had to juggle trying to set up remote learning

Nurseries, AP, SEND special schools stayed fully open
