An excellent summary of the cost of living in Germany vs in the UK.

This has very little to do with the EU. It's about corruption in politics.

One country invests in the long term future of its citizens

The other gives out backhanders, crony contracts and dodgy deals to donors One thing @skedeschi doesn't cover is a comparison of the two political systems.

Like the UK, Germany is a collection of smaller states working together under a United Federation.

But unlike the UK, each state is fairly represented. In the UK, England gets a 90% block vote.

You might conclude there are no data on lab lib overt/covert pacts.

You wonder. Has no one analysed whether to compete?

TLDR you'd be right to ask. And maybe then surprised. The bigger issue is that 75% of #Johnson's seats are due to a huge mess-up on this in 2019
Data follow⬇️ Ok first #TivertonandHoniton #Wakefield

Was it worth lab and lib striking local "non-compete" agreements?

Absolutely.

LSE analysis shows⬇️📈vote share can shift ~5-30% just by not competing. Or this week maybe a darn lot more.

Since everyone is talking Criminal Justice today, for obvious reasons, some thoughts below.

Every time Patel plays Gesture Politics, changes sentences, botches laws, adds grounds for appeal, she knows she's making a broken system worse.

Proof of insincerity and/or incompetence? How does Criminal Justice end up like this?

This man ⬇️ is a victim of another Home Office miscarriage of justice.

His pursuit by Patel is political. And the cost is massive amounts of Court and Barrister time.

Now recall, he is just one of thousands.

Whatever faces the UK, it's complex. To prosper we will need these:

Careful, long term thinking
Objectivity in difficult tradeoffs
Honesty, shrewd negotiation
Deep analysis and preparation
Dedicated ruthless planning

Meanwhile it's #Bodger #Johnson's Queens Speech.

Chances? ❌ This dichotomy is just weird:

Take #Brexit.

Imagine, if you can; your passion for extracting the UK from the EU was unpersuaded by any argument to the contrary.

OK.

But did you think doing it was so simple that Slapdash-cover-the-cracks Bodger was the guy to run it?

The High Court has found the #HomeOffice guilty of illegal mugging of Asylum Seekers.

It is NOT illegal to flee danger, but the HO wrongly said it was, deciding to steal possessions from victims. That IS illegal.

No one knows where this 2020 policy originated. Some ideas ⬇️ ImageImageImageImage @pritipatel has constantly and deliberately (unless she's just stupid) lied about the legality of those who flee danger to come to our country.

She also characterised the victims of violence as economic migrants - a number her HO data says is vanishingly small.⬇️ ImageImage

Courtesy of the @GoodLawProject, I'd like to move beyond #OwenPaterson and show just how deep goes the #ToryCorruption in Government

1. Cash for Peerages


2. PPE Profiteering


3. Crony (bad) Contracts
4. Take Back Control to Dump Raw Sewage


5. Hiding waste of public funds


6. Hiding Personal Correspondence then Deleting it when Court requests it

How may I say this MORE CLEARLY?
Unique amongst developed countries
- our Government of Social Mass Murderers
- have chosen against all scientific advice
- to drop ALL social distancing measures
- and rely on vaccines alone.

These DEATHS are on their hands
Back story attached. WHY?
HOW?
WTF?

You may ask.

And then, very sadly, be as shocked and horrified as we are one of the last free newspapers in the UK...

when you discover the answer.

Let's think about this.

Apparently, you live in a sovereign parliamentary democracy with a free press.

Yesterday the leaders sold a build back better budget as a victory.

90% of the Press (excl⬇️) "forgot" to mention

1. Almost all will be worse off ...
theguardian.com/politics/2021/… 2. Due to a #BrexitDisaster twice as bad as the pandemic effect
3. With the UK still topping the charts for worse Pandemic results⬇️
4. Results those in charge have made worse by consistently delaying decisions
5. While they gas lit jingoism to distract

@ShelaghFogarty

Someone at last with guts, calling out UKGov misdirection, misinformation and politicking.

Topic was Rees Mogg using letter of the law to deliver messages that contradict the spirit of the medical advice.

But the topic could have been almost anything they say. This is why her comments could just have easily been applied to the "Press Conference" yesterday

How do you make a VARIANT of #Covid19 to defeat all VACCINES and take us back to SQUARE ONE?

This is the question I'll answer for you below. I used to be a viral research chemist working on AZT, so I think I'm qualified

So let's now play at being Ernst Stavro Blofeld together: Image STEP ONE - PETRI DISHES

Create vaccines that require multiple doses* in order to be effective

HOW DOES THIS HELP EVIL?

It ensures the population is in variable states of vaccination, mixing resistant and less resistant together. They are the feed for our EVIL petri dishes. Image

It took seconds for partisans to point fingers of blame, without evidence at #SirDavidAmess' death

My voice is as lost in this invective drone as is the true evidence:

A politic which celebrates lies over truth creates its own tribalism where hate & violence triumph over reason This crime is not done to us.

It is done by us.

And it is the result of what we have created.

Which is why the partisans are already finding others to blame for a tragic accident they have created with their tribalism

Until they are stopped things will continue to get worse

It should (again) be headline news that #Covid19 is so out of control in the UK.

It is the 3rd time since the start of the Pandemic I've started a thread like this. The last two each ended in an unnecessary 40,000 deaths.

If you think vaccines make this ok.
God help you. Image To be clear there are no laurels to rest on in the UK as far as vaccines are concerned. The days where the UK could claim to be ahead of Europe on vaccine deployment are long behind us.

You think leaving the EU gave us an advantage? You've missed it meant less honest reporting. Image

#Brexitdeal summary: Boris #Johnson had no deal to propose when he proposed a deal with the EU and so made one up on the fly, which he didn't read and so didn't understand what he wasn't reading, which he delegated to his subordinate ministers which they also didn't read so… 1/ …that the final agreements wasn't ever read by anyone in Cabinet yet signed by everyone in Cabinet who was then responsible through the collective accountability which they all individually lacked, for the final agreement which they also had not read.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
FROM YOUR GOVERNMENT

You may soon notice some things which we're denying

These include, awkwardly, things we promised would never happen.
They exclude, awkwardly, our guarantees to you

N.B.
To reassure you.
it's DEFINITELY NOT BREXIT that caused any problem⬇️ A collection of Brexit "doing well" follows

A consolidation of #GlobalBritain and #Brexit (lack of) success stories.

You've seen MASSIVE outcry in the US at deliberate Eepublican interference in elections to disenfranchise voters who vote against them.

Here, Tories are following an IDENTICAL voter suppression plan yet almost no one knows

Let's not end with a whimper. Change this. Tell people Thinking Oh GOD what now? Yes voter suppression of the worst form is underway by the tories. But the difference with the US is here it's completely unopposed and supressed by our so called 'free press'

Today's thought is, how is this scam possible?

At least one mobile network is profiting from an obvious scam by serving this message.

Others are paid by routing it.

And the message is very easy to detect and prevent.

Once Government is corrupt, everything rots. To sustain society we must care enough to focus on it

That means planning
Encouraging integrity
Celebrating professionalism

We must recognise people who care enough to focus on details and notice small mistakes.

What if we have people in power who care for none of this?

Is it now obvious that #Johnson's claims about vaccinations were hot air?

UK is now behind 6 EU countries yet the people who claimed amazing success seem reluctant now to own their failure.

But as I covered below vaccine jingoism already hid a host of Johnson Regime negligence. Our country has lost all political:
- links with truth
- validity of science
- accountability through media or opposition
- legitimacy of Government

We are an exercise in systematic gaslighting and distracting the electorate to ignore deaths

More will die until they stand trial

Inspired by Karam's work ⬇️on the latest non resident denizens of Tufton St HellMouth, I'm attaching some web back up, and tips on how to spot it.

If you're new to this, U4T are to child and school advocacy as TPAlliance are to taxation fairness.
Deadly and Toxic. U4T2
Their public claim is some sort of unspecified advocacy of child rights by people who care for children. And that dear friends is about as deep and detailed as it gets.

But you don't need to dig much to ask why they have a political agenda running through their marketing.

Breaking:

Downing street have cancelled the congratulatory meeting between the PM and England football team.

Apparently meeting the team could be "awkward" for the PM and might make him "look bad".

So instead of putting things right, #Johnson is doubling down on hypocrisy? I'll attempt a recap of #Johnson's "non racist" World View

PREVIOUSLY ACCEPTABLE:
Piccaninnies, watermelon smiles, letterbox thing*
Not supporting England team
Not condemning those using "taking the need" to sow more racism
Making tribalism and division core to your politics
