It is not easy being COVID cautious. It's crap not joining in social events. It isn't enjoyable being the only person masking. It is tough keeping quiet when being patronised by people with zero knowledge. It is all EXHAUSTING. Solidarity to everyone prepared to listen to science & put others first

How people (who want to be) are conned; We're going to have to get used to hotter summers, not Large parts of the world are going to become uninhabitable & relocate (here) Food prices are going to get higher, not Food supply chains are going to collapse, wars will be fought over water and food

UK news failing again, long segment about food prices going up because of crop failures. It is of course true & seem to be telling hard truths - but no mention that as crops continue to fail, the price isn't the problem, other countries will stop exporting, we won't have food. Full stop

Could the BBC stop describing far right thugs as activists. Activists are people taking action for causes they believe in, not morons who feel empowered to act out their racist hatred because they know the police have been told not to arrest them.

BBC R4 Anita Rani woman's hour (!!) just now,'discussing' the Scottish nurse who wouldn't share a bathroom with a transgender woman. Introducing the segment, the 'expert guest' says - ".... a transgender woman, a male who identifies as a woman". No push back, no attempt to correct. Shameful.

To be fair, Sheeran said he needed to now be open about where he stands, and then he did, he made it clear that he stands with Israel. Hopefully everyone will respond accordingly.

I used to think public ownership was about not being ripped off. It is now about survival, we need to control our water, energy and food. We need government that stops pretending everything is fine & starts actually responding to the world we now live in. Our current politicians aren't up to this

Re my personal data being hacked from Manchester Airports Group, I thought it was illegal to retain personal data you had no continuing purpose for? Are there any laws that businesses actually follow or are they all just performative?

🔓BBC decoded🔓 - article on settlements, says internationally condemned, so clearly balanced (!!!) but then this, "the start of the Gaza war, triggered by Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack on Israel", & this is the payload. This is Israeli propaganda, very subtle, relentless, effective.

A small % of people are unable to work because of their health. This can happen to any of us, any of our children, any day. Any normal human being should want to live in a society that supports & helps those people live a fulfilling life, not demonise them and blame them for the country's problems.

Still waiting for any UK TV 'journalist' to call out the disposable BBQ ban as the pathetic stunt it is and in their 'expert analysis' explain the link to fossil fuels donors

COVID for dummies; - No visible short term health impact 👍 - Government says nothing to worry about👍 - Your doctor says no need to worry 👍 - Scientists studying it say we need to take precautions 👎👎 🎉Just gotta get on with life, right🎉 See also tobacco, asbestos, HIV, brain injury from impacts...

1. Govt commissions report on climate 2. It says main risk is unprecedented migration from less developed countries 3. Unprecedented migration happens from Morocco to Spain 4. Entire moron news reports this as an immigration/ borders story 5. Govt pretends it isn't happening This is so bad

This doesn't happen every day, but today two young people working at a hire shop made a point of coming over to me and just saying, "by the way, I like the sticker on your phone". That's all, but always a lovely moment of human connection that makes me feel better about the world and humanity.

How can Andy Burnham look at the news, double down on new north sea drilling as an urgent priority and then go home and look those close to him in the eyes. Absolute shame on him.

Our local GP practice (Wickham brook, Suffolk, UK) has recently put a notice on the entrance, "please wear a mask if you have cold or respiratory symptoms", with a photo of someone wearing a surgical mask. But they're doctors, so they must know what they're doing.

Values test; - Climate change is terrifying, but I really need a summer holiday - Genocide and apartheid are evil, but buying from Amazon is just so convenient - AI is problematic, but look I made this crazy image - I would do anything for my kids, no, I don't want to hear about the COVID inquiry

I just read "failure of leadership" in a post relating to climate. Just to correct this, there is no leadership, there may or may not historically have been, but it sold out, now we have people in positions of power who just implement the instructions of billionaires.

Heatwave news should be saying - this shows climate change is here not coming - so water/food shortages & massive climate migration are much nearer than you think But no, just loads of 'its very hot, we're going to need Aircon' Dumbing down of journalists & presenters was incredibly well done

Mexico building domestic low cost EVs and rolling out free healthcare for all. The US has spent the last 70 years invading & enacting regime change for exactly this. It sees this as a direct attack on its national interests, because there is no separation between government and corporations.

Every time we turn the TV on now there's going to be idiots saying how exciting the world cup is & earnestly saying banning refs, players and fans is "really unacceptable", but if the US hadn't done that apparently being engaged in multiple genocides would be absolutely fine .....

You either have values or you don't have values. If you override your values any time you "want to do something" , or, "it's just more hassle", then you do not have any values

Letting today's hate march happen today, the annual date for the Nakba commemoration march, is either unimaginably incompetent or politically motivated. Obviously a hard call with the met, but clearly the latter.

The fact no one can stop Trump speaking to the media, given what an absolute idiot he proves himself to be every single time, shows how pathetically weak every member of his team is

📢 Polling stations are now open! 📢 Want to replace the failing Labour Party and defeat the hateful message of Reform? Get yourself down to your local polling station and vote Green today! Every vote counts. Make sure your voice is heard 💚 Don’t forget your Photo ID for voting in England!

To all uk political reporters - reform are going to get more councillors than the greens because they have the money to stand and campaign candidates in every seat, greens having to be highly selective. Please explain and recognise this context when reporting the results

Labour's true colours - instructing the met to arrest people sitting on the ground peacefully protesting our support for genocide and apartheid. Vote Green, consign labour to oblivion

The industries most impacted when COVID hit were oil & gas (travel), print media (sold at stations) property investors (WFH) & hospitality. They immediately poured millions into creating fake think tanks & lobby groups. Govts said nothing to see, get back to work. Everyone said, that's great.

This is beyond horrific. Dr Taylor has provided life changing care for my daughter, just getting to talk to her has a huge impact because she validates your issues and has bottomless knowledge on treatments to explore. Even without prescription the support would still have huge value

How am I supposed to get a decent score on Geogrid when it thinks the US and UK are not valid answers for countries that are below 'x ' on the perceived corruption scale!

If your home was destroyed, your livelihood destroyed, you lost all your belongings, had no money or source of income - I don't think you'd be saying you had been 'displaced' All our media are shameful

I've had people I know, who spent their lives as high earners, say they generally like what the green party are saying but don't agree with the wealth tax. I say don't think of it that way, it is a mechanism to get the ultra wealthy, who don't pay any tax, to finally pay some tax like the rest of us

People belonging to a faith group are not responsible for and do not automatically support actions of states that are founded on the same faith. Jewish people are not Israel, Muslims are not Iran, Christians are not Trump Our media know this, yet stoke hatred using it as their narrative

We need to simplify politics #2. Do you want; a) Women's rights set back 50 years, no right to abortion & women penalised for not having children or b) True equality including men & women having identical post natal leave? If a) vote labour, reform or conservative If b) vote Green

Only 1 party is committed to (any of) - Stopping the privatisation of all our healthcare - Bringing water companies back into public hands - Strengthening workers protections - Taking us back into Europe This should be enough surely? #votegreen

There is one critical difference between Greens and labour/reform/Tory - the Greens are not corrupted by money from US healthcare, oil companies, big tech and Israel, they are the only party that actually puts the people first - labour isn't going to change, it's going to pretend to change

The SEND budget can't keep up with the needs of children who need extra support Should we; a) Only provide support to the most severe cases b) Increase the budget to support all children who need it a) = Tory /Reform / Labour b) = Green Hope this helps. #votegreen

A report by the intelligence services sets out how climate migration forced by water scarcity is going to change society as we know it in our near future, and our governments are falling over themselves supporting AI data centers that need more water than there is on earth.
