@A_Liberty_Rebel

Yes, this was always on the cards, as many of us correctly surmised, but for me, this has to be arguably the most anti-consumer, politically cowardly, wimping-out decision that the compulsively orally-flatulent Johnson has yet taken.
telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/…

Wonder what alleged 'feminist' Carrie-Antoinette thinks of her PM paramour's decision to keep the #BBC coercively funded by an illiberal regressive tax, non-payment of which accounts for one-third of all criminal convictions against women?
independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

Don't be fooled for one moment by our Wet-Lettuce 'Culture' Sec'y Dowden's promise the issue 'will remain on the agenda'.
What that means is 'right at the bottom of my Pending-Tray', and most unlikely to do anything other than remain there indefinitely.

My Da Tom (90) is coping with #Lockdown3 by consuming ribs & cabbage, marmalade & soda bread, fancy cakes & tay, drawing, painting, playing his fiddle, reading papers, watching snooker, scrolling through Facebook & Insta, playing with dogs & strong whiskey every night.
#Legend

Here is his fridge.
The dude with the fag is called "Lucas Batteries"
He has been drawing him for his whole life.
On school copy books, hotel napkins, and the backs of envelopes.
And on one memorable occasion with a blue marker on a glass door.
"I always give him a #smoke!"
✒️

I bought him a canvas and lent him his late brothers painting set. Filled with colours and brushes, rulers and the nub of a little yellow pencil.
He did this with a sharpie and wax crayons I also brought
And stuck those elves on with Superglue
He tells me it's done an hour later.

Dr Ali G #NHSBlueHeart💙- Please #WearAMask 😷🇪🇺

@AlisonGeorge10

1) If both #NHS & @GOVUK websites have ONLY 3 symptoms with NO comment about other possible symptoms 1 of 2 things will happen. People WITH #COVID19 won’t realise they need or be able to access a test. OR those people that know there are more symptoms will have to lie to get one.

https://twitter.com/alisongeorge10/status/1348417564658036741

2)So there will be 1000s of ppl W/ #COVID19 oblivious that they have it & returning to work/school as soon as their symptoms have gone. Add to this that headteachers can only request a test for a child OR send a contact home based on those 3 SYMPTOMS huge numbers will be missed.

3)Then consider that the much hailed #lateralflowtest s have a very high FALSE NEGATIVE rate AND that they’re going to be used widely across educational settings to AVOID children & staff isolating.
This is a recipe for an ABSOLUTE DISASTER!

@AlisonGeorge10

IMO #teachers & #earlyyears staff settings are being SACRIFICED to give an illusion of “SAFETY”. The Gvmt know that if the majority of parents realise these settings are the places where they are likely to catch #coronavirus from, many will not want to their kids to go. 1/9

https://twitter.com/teachingaeons/status/1347908466510331906

They’re keen to perpetuate the belief that there is “nothing to see here” in order to keep the work force working.
I’m not naive, I know the economic fallout from more things locking down won’t be good. But w/ so many children in school #Lockdown3 will go on for longer. 2/

Think #Chernobyl.
The men on the roof. Sacrificed to show the world that those in charge knew what they were doing. This is the same.
How many teachers have had #COVID19 ? How many have died? The full stats remain illusive. They are our family, friends & community members. 3/

@DrPetra

You’ve heard the word “vulnerable children” used a lot recently but you might not know what it means. While it can vary between U.K. countries the description here gov.scot/publications/c… is a useful overview

children and teens identified as vulnerable are already disadvantaged and both deserve and require additional support. If schools are full of children who are not in these categories the vital care needed by already marginalised children will be reduced or put at risk.

If you’re unsure if your child should be in school but think they may be vulnerable (see above) speak to the school about it. If they don’t fit that category but your workplace is making it impossible for you to both work and homeschool - push back!

Lockdown 3.0 will disproportionately affect #women, and #ukgov isnt doing enough to mitigate this unequal impact.

A thread on what we know from the last year *and before 🧵

According to @ONS women did 2/3rds additional childcare duties + spent more time on unpaid work + less time on paid work than men during lockdown1.0

ONS also show that women did more non-developmental care than men (i.e. cooking, washing, not playing)
shorturl.at/gjrCY

Whether due to gendered work sectors, or requests owing to additional childcare: women more likely to be furloughed than men according to @WomensBudgetGrp meaning 20% income reduction

The PM, #BorisJohnson, also says at the start of his answer👆
“Just to repeat, schools are safe” on the same day he just introduced a new #lockdown & shut down schools because they’re not safe.
#Lockdown3 #schoolclosures #COVID19 #coronavirus #HerdImmunityScandal #covidbriefing

#BorisJohnson makes clear his strategy is sometimes to PRETEND not to know what's going on so that when he ACTUALLY doesn’t know, people won’t be able to tell the difference

The trouble is that we can ALL tell

Is the #BumblingStrategy really govt policy?

VERY IMPORTANT THREAD.
The @ONS stats on #COVID19 risk for teachers were based on cases in 53 teachers-2 nursery, 5 primary, 7 secondary & 39 unknown type. They were taken in the period 2 Sep-16 Oct BEFORE the surge in cases in <19s. 1/

https://twitter.com/SarahDRasmussen/status/1346200721398632449

We keep being told that #teachers are NOT at increased risk - “they” said that about drs & nurses in the #firstwave.
It simply does not add up that workers surrounded by children (esp teenagers) for many hours in crowded indoor spaces without #PPE are not at increased risk? 2/

As a non-statistician I’ll be brave & suggest that these stats were taken from too small a group, too early in the Autumn Term & should not be being used to claim safety for a whole profession now.
Stats on admissions, deaths & #LongCovid in #teachers appear scanty/absent. 3/

Dr Ali G - Please #WearAMask 😷! 🇪🇺♥️

@AlisonGeorge10

Please experts, could I ask-
We’ve repeatedly been told that @ONS stats say that #teachers aren’t at increased risk of catching #Covid than other key workers. I’m no statistician but I can’t work out how can that be true as they don’t wear #PPE & are surrounded by children....1)

....in the 2 groups with the highest number of cases.
There seems a rabbit off somewhere??
It doesn’t make sense.
Could the stats be wrong?
A recent thread highlighted that “maybe” they were based on quite dated figures & on small sample sizes? 2)

Surely #teachers should be vaccinated soon if we’re expecting them to work w/out #PPE, many will obviously be IN schools during #Lockdown3 whilst this #covidvariant is spreading around communities?
Am I missing something?
Thank you.

UK Prime Minister declares another lockdown, but still: no border controls

Britain will remain open to all 👇🏽

No passenger testing ✖️
No airport screening ✖️
No measures to manage the inbound/outbound flow ✖️

Literally the opposite of the rest of the world...again. 🤯 #COVID19

During #Lockdown3👇🏽

• Want to fly from South Africa (or any other country on earth) back to the UK with no tests, no checks, no screening?
— Sure, you can ✅

• Flying to Dubai for a pandemic party, and then return to UK with no tests or quarantine?
— Sure, you can ✅

50+ countries (from Kuwait, to Colombia) have cut air travel ties with Britain due to the “out of control spread” of #COVID19

UK Health Sec Matt Hancock is “worried” about South Africa’s COVID19 strain...but not worried enough to test travellers from S Africa, or anywhere else.

Congratulations @MattHancock and @matthewsgould Great technical work by @NHSX to deliver @NHSCOVID19app . Here are some suggestions around the 'soft stuff' of getting massive buy in required to make it a success.

1) Use SMS Cell Technology to send a link to every mobile phone in the country. Start in hotspots to avoid overwhelming the system.

2)Urgently provide the digitally excluded a cheap but App-friendly smartphone. Internet access is a basic human right. Nobody left behind.

भारतच्या विरोधात आकार घेत असलेले अंतर्राष्ट्रीय षडयंत्र !
- प्रशांत पोळ

चीनच्या तुकड्यांवर पाळले जाणारे वामपंथी आणि भारताच्या वाढत्या प्रभावाने घाबरलेले काही देश, एक झाले. आणि मग साकार होऊ लागले, भारताच्या विरोधात एक अंतर्राष्ट्रीय षडयंत्र – Mission_Defame_India.

भारताने २३ मार्च पासून लॉकडाउन घोषित केले होते. बरखा दत्त ने २६ मार्चला ‘वॉशिंगटन पोस्ट’ मध्ये एक आर्टिकल लिहिले. शीर्षक होते, ‘As India goes into lockdown, fear spreads. Poverty may kill us first’.

बरखा दत्त, अरुंधति रॉय, सागरिका घोष, राजदीप सरदेसाई यांच्यासारख्या लोकांचा अंदाज होता की, 'हे लॉकडाउन भारतीय सहन करू शकणार नाहीत. यांचे जेवणाचे वांधे होतील आणि भीतीमुळे विद्रोह उभा राहील.

पण असे झाले नाही.
