We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Leaving the ECHR is just another "cause" that right-wing lunatics can latch onto. It's Brexit 2. And like the original most people backing, it don't understand it, don't really believe in what they are doing and do not care one jot what havoc it causes.

History repeats. That’s why in Europe we have the ECHR. 🇪🇺

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill. Farage is still silent. It’s deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

“Most of us now view COVID-19 as more of a nuisance than a danger, thanks to vaccines and past exposure to the virus…” If I may offer an edit: “Most of us now view COVID-19 as more of a nuisance than a danger, thanks to [the government and corporate media]…”

It’s Friday.. yay! 🥳 Starting with a ginormous hole in the driveway (as you do); which, if all goes to plan, will be refilled & compacted by this afternoon! 😉

This Morning doc saying c19’s just a cold like other respiratory infections..🙄 It is until it isn’t & u can’t leave ur house for 4 months; heart racing 4 no particular reason; u can barely walk & take 10mths resting 2 recover 2 a reasonable baseline - THAT “cold” ? 🤯 www.facebook.com/share/v/17AY...

“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏 PM Keir Starmer

Reform’s Russia connections are a danger to our national security. It’s time for a public inquiry. 🔥

Day 1 dampworks & driveway. Big hole dug!👍🏻

We found a link between SARS-CoV-2 reinfection & #longCOVID, & a post-pandemic rise in thrombotic events across all populations, regardless of vaccination or prior infection. Findings support continued COVID diagnosis in suspected cases & mask use by healthcare workers treating respiratory patients

It’s a beautiful #bluesky #autumn #Sunday morning in the #FrenchAlps. A fresh 5C. The chasse has started & I can hear the hunting dogs in the forest above my house. #ViewFromMyFrontDoor

COVID-19 cases are still high, so be sure to know the facts and avoid the myths in order to protect yourself and others.

Mandatory ID cards are a terrible, terrible idea iandunt.substack.com/p/id-cards-a...

Never really got the outrage about ID cards when they were first proposed 20 years ago and get it even less now that almost every single human interaction is mediated, tracked and authorised on a second-by-second basis through our phones, anyway. What do people think it would really change?

Change is difficult & can b controversial, particularly when it comes bc the FR is rearing it’s head w/ seemingly little/no opposition from those w/ the authority & mandate of tolerant, fair-minded ppl 2 squash it. But is getting riled up abt ID cards really the hill 2 die on in modern society?🤔

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

🚨😷🚨😷🚨😷🚨😷 BREAKING NEWS At last, in the UK, we now have official guidance on the use of respirators (FFP3) vs Fluid Resistant Surgical Masks (FRSM) which has been prepared SPECIFICALLY FOR THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR. 🚨😷🚨😷🚨😷🚨😷

I’m so sick of seeing Farage and co on TV all the bloody time. They now know that if thy hold a press conference on any day ending in a ‘y’, they will be given endless coverage and broadcasting hours. All this for a party that could fit all of its MPs into a hatchback car.

Reform is racist. Let’s just say it. Loudly and often. They’re racist. Don’t take them on on how they plan to fund their nonsense. They don’t care. They don’t say it because they’ve worked it out. They say it for headlines and for voters who want prejudice as policy. They’re racist. They’re failure.

And when him & his banshee-bleating bunch get into power in the UK, he’ll withdraw from the ECHR and come 4 whoever he likes! UK citizens will also hav nowhere 2 go if Farage gets his way. Not content w/ weedling away your FOM, he’ll hav all your human rights too! Thanks v much !🤦🏻‍♀️

Unclear how far back this would go and if would attack settled status for EU nationals. But clear that we must oppose this because mass deportation is a crime and an attack on basic rights rather than "unworkable" or "bad for the economy". It is your family, friends and neighbours he's coming for

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right… What a grim betrayal of our democracy. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

Test your COVID BS detector. Adaptive exam; difficulty shifts with your answers. Results may surprise you (even PhDs). Take it: seanmullen.com/covidcompete... Post your badge if you ace “Epidemiologist’s Nightmare.” @rachelhoopsick.bsky.social

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

“Nigel Farage says….” has been the headline of the decade. Look at what he does, ffs. Look at his tax affairs. Look at his grifting. Look at his lies. Look at his prejudice. Look at his allies. Look at his manifesto. Look at his Brexit. He is the embodiment of personal greed and national failure.

Five years ago, a very close relative died of a glioblastoma brain tumor at the age of 13. Today would have been his 19th birthday. And now comes news that an mRNA vaccine is being trialed to treat this very (incurable) malady. Fingers crossed. mbi.ufl.edu/2024/05/01/v...

Seems to me that if they gave a shit about Epstein's victims, they'd be talking to them. Not waving immunity options in front of his convicted grooming partner.

Along with nearly 60 other Labour MPs have called again for the UK to immediately recognise the state of Palestine and work to prevent any attempt by the current Israeli Government to ethnically cleanse Gaza.

“In year since Reform party leader was elected at 8th attempt he has been largely absent from Commons votes and very present in the media” Says it all. A career piss-taker given so much airtime, but so little scrutiny, he now fancies himself as PM. Ffs UK. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

IDF officers and soldiers told Israeli media that they were ordered to fire at unarmed civilians near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been murdered. #3E #FreeGaza

Crazy how the smoke from the Canadian wildfires is causing a haze across France - this was just taken from my back garden in the Haute-Savoie, south of Geneva in Switzerland! 😳 #wildfires #Canada #haze

I asked a BBC spokesperson to set out any examples of the corporation drawing up specific plans to secure the support of voters for other political parties in the UK, but they were unable to do so bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...
