Looking forward to the Labou Party's next leadership struggle following a similar course to that portrayed in the documentary "The Death of Stalin".

Yea this is always the problem when people complain about “echo chambers” — it assumes that the ‘other side’ of an issue has a cogent position being argued in good faith, both of which are almost never the case.

The absolute weasel phrasing through this whole article, 'concerns raised' about how 'public bodies across the UK been captured by the lobby group', claims that employees were afraid to speak out about Stonewall that are literally 'an ex-reporter said that she thought there were probably people who were afraid, in her opinion', and an 18 month investigation that turned up damning evidence such as:

quote:

For three consecutive years, the lobby group asked Ofcom to show evidence of work they had done to "promote LGBT equality in the wider community". Ofcom cited examples of action they had taken in response to complaints about TV programmes including Harry Hill's TV Burp and local radio stations.

In 2019, Ofcom told Stonewall "we have ruled on two instances where transphobic comments made in programmes breached the code". One such case referred to a radio presenter who said he would be uncomfortable with his six-year-old daughter changing in an environment where the changing rooms were not segregated based on sex, and described a "transfeminine person" as "him, her, him, it" - for which he had apologised on air.

Excellent use of public money, shot and chaser.

Byline Times Nov 2020

quote:

he Government awarded a £119 million contract to “develop volume” for Coronavirus testing to a new firm that appears to specialise in DNA analysis.

In mid-October, the EU contracts portal released the Government deal, awarded to Immensa Health Clinic Limited. Granted without a standard tender process, the contract demanded the “urgent” development of volume for ‘PCR’ testing.

PCR testing is the standard way, at present, that individuals are tested for COVID-19 in the UK. These tests require clinical expertise and lab capacity to analyse, though are considered the “gold standard” of accuracy.

However, like the Coronavirus, Immensa Health Clinic doesn’t appear to have been around for very long. Companies House records show that the firm was incorporated on 18 May this year – months after the onset of the pandemic.

Strangely, the EU database doesn’t list a start date for the PCR testing contract so it is unclear how soon the deal was awarded after the inception of the company. However, the database does provide the completion date of the contract as 7 September.

Therefore, even if the contract began the week before its completion (in itself highly unlikely), Immensa Health Clinic would have only been in existence for roughly three months before it was awarded a £119 million Government contract.

BBC News October 2021

quote:

The UK Health Security Agency said negative tests results received from the privately-run lab between 8 September and 12 October are being looked at.

Most people affected are in the south west, but some may also be in the south east of England and in Wales.

All samples from the lab, where Immensa Health Clinic Ltd runs the testing operations, are now being sent to other labs.

UKHSA said all other labs are working normally and there are no technical issues with the test kits themselves.

Dr Will Welfare, public health incident director at UKHSA - which replaced Public Health England - said: "As a result of our investigation, we are working with NHS Test and Trace and the company to determine the laboratory technical issues which have led to inaccurate PCR results being issued to people.

"We have immediately suspended testing at this laboratory while we continue the investigation."

He's real. He's the owner of a finance company and easily googleable.

His boomer profile pic for his Linkedin page matches perfectly with his letter. I did initially post his profile pic with the letter, but edited out as it's probably breaching doxxing rules or something.

They don't see people who are trafficked as being victims of crime. Since they are guilty of illegal entry to the country.
That's the worst crime of them all! (Apart from those other crimes. And after we make all crime punishable by the death penalty, all crimes will technically be regarded as each other.)

I have no idea what the etiquette is. Do you get a bap before dogging and risk turning up with some ketchup stains down yourself, do you bring it in case they want a bite as a cheeky mid-shag snack, or do you go for a bap together afterwards? It's a social minefield quite frankly.

They're now officially to the right of Judge Death. "Living is the crime, the punishment is death" at least also implies a lack of discrimination.
