‼️#BREAKING the Chinese Consul General who assaulted #BobChan has returned to China together with other diplomats.

Thank you @MPIainDS @Afzal4Gorton @aliciakearns + others
Politico report here:
This is the right outcome but the wrong route to it. It ought to have been the UK taking action by labelling these thugs persona non grata, not merely asking China to act.

They assaulted someone in broad daylight and dragged them into the Consulate! 🤬

China and @elonmusk: a thread
Tesla posted over 5bn in revenue from China in Q3 of 2022 alone. China represents over 20% of Tesla’s turnover.

But Musk’s interests in China aren’t just about now…

seekingalpha.com/news/3894251-t…
…they’re about the future. Musk thinks that China will be Tesla’s biggest market.

#BREAKING Human Rights chief ⁦@mbachelet⁩ “unable” to assess #Uyghur human rights abuses, frames them in the context of “anti-terrorism” and “de radicalisation” measures (which they aren’t).
Wow. It’s very clear which questions have been provided to @mbachelet in advance. She is reading from a script in response to PRC state media questions. Shocking.
Killer question from @lauriechenwords

The @TribunalUyghur is starting soon.
In his introduction, Sir Geoffrey Nice reveals that two advisory lawyers and one witness withdrew from the Tribunal as a result of sanctions placed upon the Tribunal by the PRC.
-8000 hours of analysis already undertaken.
-Tribunal only considering crimes against humanity and genocide.
-PRC and many other governments invited to provide evidence. All declined, except UK which merely pointed the Tribunal to evidence in the public domain.

Absolutely disgraceful. Police shut down Good Friday service in Polish Church, Balham yesterday.

“I appreciate that it is Good Friday, and you’d like to worship, but this gathering is unlawful”
Find me a scene that better expresses the worst aspects of modern Britain that a policeman traipsing onto the Sanctuary on the most solemn day of the Christian year threatening people with fines for going to church a day after zero COVID deaths were reported in London.
This has gone too far.

Some actually useful COVID-19 advice from James Robb, MD FCAP one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses. This is being circulated by NHS doctors. I found the 2nd section on what to stock useful (so I’m sharing).
1) NO HANDSHAKING! Use a fist bump, slight bow, elbow bump, etc.
2) Use ONLY your knuckle to touch light switches. elevator buttons, etc.. Lift the gasoline dispenser with a paper towel or use a disposable glove.
3) Open doors with your closed fist or hip - do not grasp the handle with your hand, unless there is no other way to open the door. Especially important on bathroom and post office/commercial doors.
