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.

#China is using the world's largest known online #disinformation operation to harass #Americans
"The Chinese government has built up the world's largest known online disinformation operation," reports CNN, "and is using it to harass #US residents, #politicians, and #businesses."
CNN reports that disinformation operation is even "at times threatening its targets with violence, a CNN review of court documents and public disclosures by #socialmedia companies has found."

I shall stop calling #politicians morally bankrupt, unethical, selfish, power hungry, greedy ass #wankers - when they stop fitting those descriptions. Fairplay.
Words for the #Unwise - True #leadership doesn't spend years attacking past government shitheads. True leadership is courage, in real time action. True leadership is bucking status quo to GENUINELY SERVE THE PEOPLE.
Somewhere along the #political power grabbing paths - our fucking #politicians FORGOT they are #PublicSERVANTS & they should be serving citizens over fucking corporations!
REMIND THEM OF THEIR PUBLIC SERVICE ROLES! Often. Fucking tax monies grifting grabbing politicians 👿🤮🤑
Play this shitty, tired blame game & I can guarantee that it will backfire (in BC & Canada). Most of us can see through the repeated lies & lack of real actions to truly change status quo shit. We are able to recruit faster & more efficiently than most of our very rich politicians too.
I love being underestimated by wanker #politicians. We got your shitty asses into public offices. We can organize to turf your status quo protecting asses too.

@bowreality Yes - and with a grain of salt as not all scientists know what they are talking about. See the: "Is Covid airborne argument."

What I'm always baffled about in #politicians pronouncements on various conflicts (not just the current ones), is the frequent statement 'too many children [or other group] have been killed' which would seem to imply that there is some acceptable level which only now has been breached....

I'm going to try to put it as simply as possible.
If you are a politician, and a group of voters come to you with a complaint about one of your policies, and your first response is:
"Well, you have to vote for me, because the other guy is worse."
YOU ARE NOT LISTENING!!!!
Don't be surprised if those folks don't vote for you when the next elections come around. They are probably not going to vote for "the other guy" but if enough of them don't vote for you, you're not going to get elected.
That's how democracy works. Stop whining about "the other guy" and get on with the fucking program!
- #politicians have grounded knowledge on 0-2 subjects
- they are constantly asked to act on subjects they are not grounded in
- asked to act, in opposing directions, by opposing groups
- options seemingly equal, often, subconsciously a preconception or a not-reflected-upon personal advantage
makes the decision
- they don't want responsibility for consequences of decisions they didn't really grasp
- they don't want responsibility for unpopular decisions

Hmmm.... interestingly, issues around d the effect(s) of #climatechnage are the most common cause of #financialservices firms excluding specific stocks from their investment holdings (according to a survey carried out collectively by a range of green-focussed NGOs).

#Israel is not on a fight to survival, but its extreme right wing government is.

The death toll in Israel is at least 100, with about 1000 injured, according to Israel’s emergency services.
The death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to 198 with 1,610 injured, according to the Palestinian health authorities.
As usual those who have nothing to do and only wish to live a normal life are the ones that will end loosing it all. Be Israelis, Palestinians or else.

Guess we should send #politicians to #space on regular basis then :nkolul:
I was thinking yesterday that we in the #US could return the favor of being inspired by another nation's #revolution, thus once again inspiring others around the world to #revolt, by doing (much the same) to our #oligarchs and their minions (#politicians, #media, #military, #police, etc) as the #French did to their #monarchy.
It would probably need to be done slowly; on a more individual/group level, not institutional.

Strange #media and #journalism habit: quoting random (elected) #politicians about status on a #disaster, when those politicians don't know anything (instead of emergency managers and officials in charge of response).
Looking at the NHS #workforce plan, the IFS thinks that in 12 years time it would mean that 1 in 11 #workers is employed by the #NHS; partly driven by the NHS' own assessment of rising needs & partly due to the likely unobtainable #productivity targets the plan uses to keep its numbers down (at the moment).
This will require a major rethink of how we fund the NHS; the Q. is whether our #politicians are up to the leadership required to get us to that point.

I have never liked, supported or kept silent about the damaging life-threatening things Boris Johnson did to this country. Reading the #journalism and #politicians comments now he has gone, it turns out they all hated and despised him for the last 10 years plus too. So why did I feel so lonely?

How can #politicians who know #CovidIsNotOver reconcile #CovidConscious positions with getting reelected?
The majority have decided everything is back to normal. They want fundraisers with free food and drink. They don't want to be reminded that COVID is still a thing.
If you're in a position to do something about COVID, and you act like it's a thing people need to worry about, they're not likely to reelect you to that position.
Our political system selects for ostriches.
