"The results reveal widespread angst about the state of democracy ahead of major votes in the #US, the #UK, and the #EU in the year ahead...
In all but one of the countries... about half of voters reported being 'dissatisfied' with the way democracy was working, while majorities agreed with the statement that the system is 'rigged' in favor of the rich and powerful, and that 'radical change' was needed. Only in #Sweden did a clear majority say they were satisfied"

Indians account for almost a third of all UK visas issued, making them the highest visa getters. VFS Global plans to open temporary centres in Prayagraj, Bhubaneswar, Calicut, Dehradun, Indore, and Thane. Nigerian and Turkish nationals also feature on the UK visitor visa list. The new centres will save applicants from travelling to metros and paying high application fees. The UK, along with Canada, was one of the first destinations to expedite visa processing for Indians post-Covid, thanks to high commissioner Alex Ellis. VFS Global has been awarded a global contract to deploy VCAS Centres in various countries in 2024.

Since October 7th, #Israel killed 21,731 #Palestinians in #Gaza
…8,697 #children , 4,410 women & those missing:trapped under rubble are presumed dead.
Read those figures again.
#usa vetoed a permanent #ceasefire resolution at UN. It was only country to out of 15. #UK abstained.
So death tolls/catastrophic injuries will continue to rise. No aid. No food. No water. No medical supplies. No safety. No shelter.
We are running out of words.
Sunday reading
“Without the foreign genes of foreign husbands and foreign wives to strengthen the British gene pool, the tragic mental deficiencies that caused 52% of the country to vote for the idiocy of Brexit will only become more pronounced, consolidating the irreversible death spiral of our already internationally pitied realm.”
Despite the feebler testing process, I strongly suspect that the draft report estimated high & increasing levels of covid in the UK at the moment.
& that someone at UKHSA and/or the government went like "Are you sure? Can't we make these figures look less alarming somehow? Let's argue over your analysis until after people have done their Christmas shopping". Or some such nonsense.
We also know that this recent survey used LFT tests (the home ones which can only detect the virus once there's plenty of it) whereas the earlier "gold standard" ONS survey used PCR (the lab ones which are more sensitive). And it was nose swab only, not throat or cheek, which also reduces the chances of finding the virus.
So however many covid infections they found by testing will have been fewer than there really are.
For those still looking at Twitter sometimes, here's Cat in the Hat's thread with more detail:
https://twitter.com/_CatintheHat/status/1732462601219571767
The report is now due on 21 Dec, although govt is said to be pushing for a further delay till January.
Some of the raw data _has_ now been released, and suggests there's a lot of covid about. E.g. 1 in 6 people had symptoms of "a flu-like illness" in the 7 days preceding the survey, end of Nov.
There was meant to be a new report on Thursday (7 Dec 2023) from the Office of National Statistics, with results from the "Winter Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Study".
But the release has been put off, and from the timeline, it seems plausible it was veto'd by the UK "Health Security Agency" as it's called now.
"Shortly after early access was granted to UKHSA, the release was unexpectedly cancelled." - Cat in the Hat, on Twitter

'I am not de problem': Benjamin Zephaniah on modern racism - Newsnight
Exactly 50 years after the introduction of the Race Relations Act, Benjamin Zephaniah looks at whether racism in the UK has diminished, or just evolved.
The dynamics of support to Ukraine have slowed. Newly committed aid has reached a new low between August to October 2023—an almost 90 percent drop compared to the same period in 2022. Ukraine now increasingly relies on a core group of donors such as the US, #Germany, and the #Nordic and Eastern European countries that continue to pledge and deliver both financial aid and important weaponry, such as F-16 fighter jets.
How many governments in the world are happy to brag about being able to ignore any domestic or international law, including the Human Rights Act?
Add United Kingdom 🇬🇧 to that list.

If I could work out, in the blink of a eye, that #EatOuttoHelpOut was going to be a massive petrie dish for #Covid19 #transmission, why couldn't those supposedly qualified to run the #UK? It's time we stopped allowing unqualified #politicians, especially #PMs. Everyone else jumps through qualification & experience hoops to do the most basic of jobs BUT the country is led by utter incompetents. We'd be sacked if we didn't do a good #job. #Tories just get another job they aren't qualified for.
