I did a thread, as usual a few typos but I think it is honest and true. Sadly not one of you commented, so I'm pinning it here so anyone who decides to follow me knows where I stand. bsky.app/profile/bi99...

I particularly enjoy the thrill of discovering that microsoft have moved, changed, hidden or redesigned something just at that moment when you are deep in the brown stuff, under extreme pressure and need all your capacity to focus on the problem rather than navigate their frankly bizzare changes.

Sorry for the language but these fucking cunts need to be sorted out. How much longer can the world stand by and watch?

Calling all 'Loyalists' this is what cowtowing to paramilitary drug dealers is delivering for you.

This should give unionists pause for thought, and indeed the British as a whole. It won't of course, they'll all continue being too scared to call out the brexit racists.

Turning Point UK must be proscribed. It is a Far Right terrorist group.

Disposable imcome in Ireland is higher than the UK. There is no rational economic arguement for Northern Ireland to remain in the UK. We must pursue a United Ireland.

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

Private equity buys UK fertility clinics. PE already controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering. Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits. When things go wrong, NHS has to step in, PE doesn't pay.

Brazil and Serbia in the space of a day. Good things can happen.

Corporate penetration of the NHS’: Revolving door raises concerns over ADHD review. Instead of expanding NHS capacity, govts hand contacts to private providers making vast profits. The same providers meet ministers to influence terms of reviews. More privatisations follow. Public money buys less.

Israeli forces forced Palestinians from their homes in Hebron in the West Bank, demolishing homes, shops and factories, damaging roads and closing checkpoints following a shooting attack. More than 1,500 Palestinians have been displaced, leaving over 200 families homeless x.com/MiddleEastEy...

‘A disaster zone’: Hebron is under full Israeli siege, mayor says Anyone still parroting the line 'only democracy in the Middle East'... get in the bin. www.middleeasteye.net/news/disaste...

- The end of the Troubles - Overturning of the 80s defeats: divorce, abortion (and equality) - Availability of specialist/"ethnic" shops & restaurants, multiculturalism generally - Medical care (stop sniggering, I'm 63 so the starting point is fairly low) - Prevalence of atheism/agnosticism

Israel has imposed a total siege across the occupied West Bank, raiding at least 15 towns, detaining dozens of Palestinians, and forcibly displacing families from their homes.

When the fuck will somebody stand up for the people of Palestine? Where the fuck is Europe? Paralysed by past guilt? That guilt is exactly why they need to step the fuck up in the face of another genocide.

JUST A REMINDER TO EVERYONE "COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT IS A WAR CRIME"

‘Israel should go as far right as possible’: how national security is defining the election - AS FAR RIGHT AS NAZI GERMANY IT WOULD APPEAR

"I think that the European Union, both as it is and into the future, has been severely damaged by the absence of any moral position [on Gaza]. "How can these people be aware of all of this and not call it a genocide?" - Michael D. Higgins

But guess what? Farmers could be bringing BACK nature and thriving if paid to rewild Foresters could be producing timber AND natural wildlife habitat Fishermen would benefit HUGELY from no-take MPAs Our NPs could be spectacularly rich, if rangers were properly supported. There are no excuses.

They are both correct. I've been working on this issue professionally (not at DRCC) since around 2018 and the job is tough but simple: you have to communicate the facts as evidenced by mountains of studies and bitter experience. Your job is not to reflect government policy.

“The language, the innuendoes, constant appeals to self-pity, the anecdotes, all combine to make a deliberate appeal to racial prejudice. ..the first time a serious British politician has appealed to racial hatred…in our postwar history. …almost unbelievable that any man should be so irresponsible”

Some of Europe’s highest energy costs expected in Britain this winter. Since privatisation UK gas storage capacity reduced to about 8 - 12 days, EU has 80 -120 days. UK is net importer of electricity. Wars, privatisation and profiteering take toll.

"Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem has accused the US-led Board of Peace & its representative, [ #Bulgaria 's] Nickolay Mladenov, of actively seeking to justify #Israel ’s ongoing war on the #Gaza Strip after failing to stop its violations of the ceasefire agreement." english.palinfo.com/news/2026/10...

The reality is that the very serious negative impacts of AI and tech will have a far, far greater impact on our lives than can be justified by the benefits.

Thank goodness we all have our backup systems to keep us going.

The Finnish government should prosecute #google for breaches of law, suspend all their data centres, criminally charge the operator that cut the trees and google staff responsible, impose a huge fine as punishment and to return the land to a state it was in prior to works started. €50-100 billion?

UK law requires companies to pay dividends from realized profits, must maintain capital. Law is poorly enforced. Water companies flout it. Carillon abused it. Now Govt proposes that dividends can be paid without capital maintenance. Madness to appease corporations.

The Govt claiming we must drill more fossil fuels so we can use the tax revenues to fund the green transition is about as logical as a doctor telling you to smoke 2 packs a day to raise the money for your lung transplant You don’t put out a fire by pouring on more fuel 🔥#Jackdaw

Government support for drilling at #Jackdaw takes a wrecking ball to any pretence of UK climate leadership & pours fuel on an overheating world - and for what? It’s equivalent to just 2 months of UK gas demand, creates just 27 direct jobs & has *no* impact on energy bills🧵1/4

The science is clear: we can’t afford to burn the reserves we *already* have, let alone develop new ones. Existing & approved global oil & gas reserves already far exceed what we can safely burn if we’re to stay below 1.5C. The minister used to say this herself #Jackdaw 🧵3/4

"Being trans, she was forced to wait for a single bed room and told that she could neither be placed in the men's or women's single sex wards, despite there being several beds available on both."
