I'm pretty sure Scotland is doing worse than England re: roni in a lot of areas too But that doesn't matter coz our fake prime minister is much more ministerial than the real one in her youtube updates watched by nobody

Loathe as I am to suggest the SNP are not terrible, but that might be due to similar reasons why the north of england is doing badly, which is systemic underfunding.

https://twitter.com/natalieben/status/1266695123875831813?s=19 Shockingly it looks like contact tracing is hosed! Turns out someone I used to work with has just started as a contact tracer. Her response when I posted this was "It's all brand new! Everyone is learning!" So far she's had 2 days training and had been waiting 4 days to start making calls. Edit: poo poo I don't know how to embed tweets  Thanks for the heads up!

The contact tracing system is run by loving Serco. Of course it's crap.

Guavanaut posted:What's the intended point of this? So being cynical UK Gov has already indicated that they have no intention of bailing out English Universities, so in restricting where English students can go, the effect would be to keep more the English students in England. This then provides a level of support for those English Unis at no expense to UK gov and also screws over Scotland and Wales who rely on English students and whose Gov's will then likely be forced to either bail their Uni's out or let them fall. Basically its a low key form of economic war on the devolved countries.

it's ok, it's not like we actually need the contact tracing to ensure there's not an immediate spike in infections or anything England 'risks Covid-19 surge' without test-and-trace safety net quote:The government is facing increasing pressure from its scientific advisers over the decision to ease England’s lockdown. bets that they carry on full steam ahead but also still the gall to say they're "following the science"? also, the "happy Monday" framing is pretty loving disgusting seeing as they're forcing a lot of people to do things they don't want to do and are going to cause a second wave in the process

Jel Shaker posted:The tories are quite happy to hand out the contact tracing to a shite outsourcing company because they hope it’ll reinforce the idea that the state can’t do anything When the dust settles on all of this, privatisation of the NHS is going to be seen as the reason for the majority of the problems, if it isn't already obvious. Underfunding, yes, but when the underfunding is being done as part of ideological starve-the-beast to drive privatisation that's effectively the same thing. Like the PPE. There was a moment when Matt Hancock was being interviewed about how it was we managed to gently caress up what seems like a pretty basic logistical task, to get stockpiled PPE to the NHS front line, and he's sitting there with a blank look on his face, and it's because of the Tories *doing what they do*, he actually has no idea what's going on. There's a good campaign here, and a pretty damning report on this here, which I encourage you all to read, even if you already know about NHS privatisation because it's eyeopening. It's not that we've outsourced a bunch of stuff to the private sector, we've also outsourced the outsourcing, with private companies taking over the role of provisioning and taking the actual decision making out of the government's hands. And we're not talking companies with a good track record of competence either, it's management firms, accountancy firms, and to nobody's surprise Tory Donors. It's being done to carve up the NHS into saleable chunks, and despite promises at the election that they're not going to put the NHS on the table in international negotiations, the US trade negotiation is now on its third reading and nowhere in it is any kind of language to ring-fence off the NHS and explicitly protect it from being included. There is very little time left to stop this from happening TL:DR; the NHS isn't on the table it's on several tables after being broken up for privatisation and broken things, shockingly, don't work the way they're meant to

Of course SAGE are going to chuck the government under the bus, all of the updates to date have included the line “we’ve been guided by science”. So to avoid any comeuppance on them, they’re signalling that it’s a political decision.

Who'dathunk captain CPS loves putting people in prison. Wonder what he thinks about https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2010/jul/22/cps-statement-death-ian-tomlinson quote:Keir Starmer QC, the Director of Public Prosecutions, announced today that no charges will be brought in relation to the death of Ian Tomlinson at the 'G20 protests' in London on 1 April 2009.

quote:Britain's most senior prosecutor has questioned whether heavy sentences given to last summer's rioters worked as an effective deterrence, challenging the received wisdom from senior judges and politicians. He's not wrong there, making sentences longer does little to reduce crime levels, guaranteeing that people get caught and given the right to a speedy trial (i.e. not kept on remand or bail for ages) do far more to deter crime, along with adjusting fines to personal wealth so that the rich don't just see them as an entry fee to being a dickhead. This went against Cameron's idea that the riots were just pure criminality, and the bullshit that sentences should be longer just because

Also worth noting he still refused to prosecute the cop after the coroner who examined tomlinson was suspended for misconduct. Took a formal inquest to rule the killing unlawful before he would press charges. The refusal to press charges was criticized by noted left wing radical *checks notes* attorney general dominic grieve. So round the paups up and shove them in jail as soon as possible but let's not suggest the cops aren't are heroes until a judge literally forces him to. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-10728685 OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 15:31 on May 30, 2020 |

Yeah I'm sure me and him would disagree on a lot of things around the utility of police and prisons, but in that piece he's not debating with anarchists about whether prisons work at all, he's countering the fash rags going full boiled ham Hang Those Who Burn The Chippy as to whether long sentences work (they don't).

The original pathologist really was a gently caress-up. If he had taken the proper samples or even proof-read his notes correctly the disagreement over cause of death may never have happened. Even giving the benefit of the doubt over cause of death though, the decision not to charge the officer with assault causing actual bodily harm was indefensible. He was hit and pushed, and he had bruises. That's harm and no-one who isn't a cop would have avoided charges. Would have had a lot better chance of succeeding than the later manslaughter charge too.

If doctor A concludes that the bruising from the baton and the fall could not have caused the death, and doctor B concludes that via a series of intermediate steps it could, there is still agreement that ABH was sustained from the baton and the fall, even if there's no consensus on the cause of death.
