I will admit that some of that optimism is more an internal Hail Mary that we aren't going to loving die under the hubris of the worst pieces of scum possible.

I will also admit it might be a coping mechanism.

Has anyone been following the revelations about Paul Mason that have just been published by the Grayzone? If even half of it's true, the man's a total lunatic lol.

Grayzone is usually nonsense so I'm trying not to believe it's true, only to have my hopes dashed.

Yeah the Grayzone also claimed that Abby Thorne and Shaun_vids were MI5 assets paid to ... undermine covid disinformation.

Not to say that Mason isn't likely to be bugfuck nuts but I'd take it with a pinch of salt when the messenger are fash.

Whoever drew that chart, whether it's Mason or Grayzone or Grayzone pretending to be Mason or MI69 leaking Mossad pretending to be Mason to Grayzone or whatever, it's evidence of some deeply disturbed thinking somewhere.

Mason wrote a very carefully worded 'I've been hacked' disclaimer that did not deny the veracity of the contents so I'm inclined to believe he's nuts, regardless of greyzone being loonies too.

If I was one of the sources that failed to draw a line between Jeremy Corbyn and Stop the War or Diane Abbott and the Black community I'd be worried about being leaked, mostly out of embarrassment.

For context, the Wellcome Trust is the UK's main scientific research charity, and the fourth-richest charity in the world (its current net worth is just below thirty billion). It typically spends a billion pounds on scientific grants and other charitable activities per year.

Funnily enough I think this is the root of the ‘he opposes for the sake of opposing’, he doesn’t fundamentally disagree with the government on anything so any disagreement just comes across as nitpicking on technical points

Incidentally, I did some rough maths based on the percentage of the UK population that's black and the median pricetag for a research grant. In a world of perfect racial equality, the Wellcome Trust would be giving out an average of 90-100 grants to black scientists per financial year. That seems a fair distance above the threshold required for anonymity, no?

It's what's for dinner.
Part of the problem will be that the proportion of black people applying for research grants will not be representative of the general population, because of inequality throughout the academic career path.

Funders can't award grants to people that don't apply.
