#covid19UK #NHSheroes Let’s spare a thought for the really big losers of 2020 - the paid grifters and faux researchers @KateAndrs & @@K_Niemietz of @iealondon
By 2019, we were all eating out of their hand, especially @bbcquestiontime as they conditioned us for NHS privatisation They didn’t call it that, of course. They referred obliquely to their “research” on alternative “systems, fit for 2018/19) etc. inserting the word “insurance” into almost every interview.
Yes, folks, we now know all about psych ops &conditioning don’t we. Cambridge Analytica RIP

#Frost The Frost speech doesn’t return UK foreign policy to it’s pre-EC stance, it introduces an alien element that would be unrecognisable to Pitt, Castlereagh, Palmerston, Disraeli, or a Balfour.

All the great figures shaping our foreign policy saw the need for a “balance of powers”, the “comity of nations”, created through alliances and crafted at Congresses in Vienna, Berlin & Versailles.

It was a constant work-in-progress, ultimately failing in 1914

#CPC #Conservatives2018 Mr Hunt @foreignoffice @Jeremy_Hunt are you aware of the monumental diplomatic travesty you committed today? Donald Tusk was leader of Student Committee of Solidarity in Gdańsk from ‘81. He literally helped bring down the fall of Communism. As context, his predecessor Stan Pyjas was murdered by the Security Bureau. Tusk risked his life to bring down communism, as did many others of that Solidarity generation. Can you pls show respect and try understand the people you’re negotiating with? Your Toryboy glibness shows
