Darren doing the 'they wouldn't let us...' bit. 'free speech' warriors are all clutching pearls, while elsewhere on social media pushing outrage farming nonsense completely free to do so
A bit of a run down in a mo on why this is happening. Grimes of course was one of Vote Leave's primary fiction promo stalwarts
Here is some more detail on why he wants us all upset about what we can't say, while similar bodies keep courting clicks saying it all
Part of the same schtick. The folk who wrote the history programme 'study' are part of the Brexit promo cohort. Do read the thread it replied to for more context. An academic who runs down issues. Or next one
Bottom of a related thread with the things I argue we should be focussed on and likely why the distraction is all turned up to 11
Another bit of context for this noise
Or maybe this? Please can we all focus on policies harming people

Strikes were lengthened by govt refusal to negotiate and the work being done to outlaw the action
Those famous social justice warriors the @FT who had reported on that
We take the bait to get up in arms about some group or other, it only serves interests of those who argue they want cohesion, but stir division
Yet more context for this kind of tactic
No-one has lost their sense of humour. I love the inbetweeners, I just wish it looked less like the way we're being governed and wish a lot less people were dying
Speaking of humour. All about doing numbers isn't it Darren love. Things getting a bit tight at the moment? A bit tough to pay your energy bills? /END
P.S. Some of the messaging used to target us. We can't be forced to change our minds, but we can be flooded with things that are not true

People should not have to do a deep dive into policy detail. We should be able to trust old and new promises
By the way, things like CRT panic and the persecution of our LGBTQ friends is not just some distracting noise

There is huge profit in prospect if this cohort make us distrust NHS staff and teachers, with the 'free speech' fight that is intrinsically associated
More on that fight imported from US

Part of a typo ridden thread as I may have been somewhat annoyed about it
As these folk often say, just asking questions. As lacking reassurance
Doing research to enable me to ask some questions about risk mitigation
Impact and risk assessment that our government appear to have been somewhat allergic to historically

Like pre-Brexit sectoral assessments
This also appears to corroborate that 'suck it and see' faith based approach
Listening to folk who lived through similar
Anyway, ignore Darren and support our NHS staff and patients. If they can't speak out without professional risk, we all have to all do it for them #NHSCrisis #RightToStrike

I know I have showered you all with tweets today, but if just some of them come up in searches for CRT as RW shibboleth for denial of any kind of institutional racism, to leverage to make that a moral weapon to target teachers, then it will be worth it
You may have forgotten this but it was Braverman who put CRT on the govt agenda, not so long ago. If you are honest, is that a huge surprise? rightwingwatch.org/post/the-right…
Referenced here. History being repeated and all about money

I wrote this long thread for a past GBNews colleague Grimes, but it might help to add more context

The thing so often missing here

Responding to the points on their terms is often futile. A tough call
But we have to give JHB, like Farage, 10/10 for projection

Retweeted that because parallels to the campaign tactics were apparent
Included it in this thread of Jan 6th events in case any interested
Actually that was the thread drawing out the UK parallels, this was on the day

Just another typo in this long thread *wrestling - but now in round 10 with Flynn and Gaetz part farcically, part terrifyingly pushing Trump as Speaker

Coinciding with a bring back Boris circus, the US / UK cross-infection should be obvious now to most folk
Perspective on what must look like a big reach of a random statement. So many roads back to corporate media, Bannon, and various overseas interests bylinetimes.com/2022/09/14/ame…
Johnson maybe getting a safer seat having worn out constituent support during his c.£1m speaking circuit at the taxpayers' expense. Grift is the thing I argue ties them together most theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

What are our leaders doing. We have to push back on this. All should be writing to their MP's and supporting the unions now
We are selling our kids' futures for more corporate power and profit
