OwlFancier posted:Yeah they killed my father with that.  You have my sympathies. I knew a few people who were infected through Factor 8 when I first started disability activism ~18 years ago. It's loving criminal how the scandal has dragged on so long. I guess the idea is to make sure there are as fewer victims of compensation as possible, as well as making sure those who were complicit have been allowed to quietly die of old age and with their reputations intact.

It didn't affect me directly, he died when I was too young to remember. Other than like, to the extent that's obviously a direct effect. But it did indescribable damage to that side of my family. Haemophilia is obviously genetic, and sex linked, recessive on the X chromosome, so XX people often carry it, but don't express it, because they will almost certainly have a working copy of the gene unless both their parents carried it. XY children have basically a 50/50 chance if their XX parent carries it, if you get the good haploid, you're fine and can't even carry it, if you get the bad one, you get haemophilia. The upshot is that side of my family ended up with a lot of their boys having it, and a lot of the girls carrying it. I think they got very unlucky. The mortality rate of haemophilia itself is pretty horrific, they lost a lot of boys to injury and internal bleeding just from moving around. A lot of the girls went on to have their own boys who ended up with it. Then the infected blood thing happened and it basically wiped out most of that side of the family. Between the various medical causes and several of them taking their own lives out of perceived guilt I think there were only two blood relatives on that side left by the time I was a toddler. My father ended up with Hep C and HIV both of which I somehow managed to avoid contracting in-utero. The bleakly funny bit is the one thing I couldn't possibly have gotten was the haemophilia. It's still not something anyone will talk about in the family. I mean the rest of that side is gone now, but it's very taboo on the other, they don't like the stigma attached to the diseases. It completely destroyed my grandmother, she went her whole life convinced she was responsible for everything that happened to my father. I don't know, it's a strange thing to live with, like I'm not personally living with it and it's not like I have another point of reference but having half your parentage being a mass grave of nature's inherent cruelty and the sheer arrogance of the state, it feels strange sometimes. It's strange to be theoretically quite close to that but also distant because everything that remains is structured to wall it off. Almost all the people who could speak from experience on it are dead, and they were crushed into silence when they weren't. So it goes. Not that it makes me a cynic or anything.

Also he literally became the establishment, you want someone like John Lilburne. Of course like most lefties, Lilburne lost. feedmegin fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Apr 18, 2024 |

Like, the notion that Oliver Cromwell was much of an anti-establishment politician is inherently silly. And if I was going to be pedantic, even though the War of The Three Kingdoms period isn't one I'm that knowledgeable on, I'd say that Lilburne wasn't an MP so he can't really be an anti-establishment politician when he fails the second part of the phrase, secondly if I was going to laud anyone from the period unironically it's more likely to be Winstanley than Lilburne. The Diggers were willing to go the extra step & advocate for the common ownership of land.

And the US reportedly just agreed yesterday to give the go ahead to Israel's invasion of Rafah as long as they left Iran alone lmao I wonder whether Hamas could have known on 06/10 that their actions would take Israel from the brink of having its ethnofascist agenda be formally endorsed by the biggest Arab state and basically being solidified for a generation to becoming a global pariah for a generation.

The biggest party in Israel that is not Zionist has about 6% of the votes, it would be interesting to see if this does change in the next elections in 2026. At the moment and previously my own personal thoughts on this is that the responsibility of ensuring a two state solution and not encroaching on the West Bank with settlements, the whole not being able to move through areas and checkpoints outside peoples homes would be for UN intervention and control over this aspect rather than the Israeli government. A lot of people vote this way because this is what they are taught and settlers pretty much aware of the situation are fine with. This would never happen with the US and veto power but if things continue this could change - but I wouldn’t expect anything significant before the 2024 election. Anyway, time to do something a lot more important — listen to the new Taylor Swift album

They were not happy with his poo poo.

This, I think it's far more likely they are worried you are getting cold feet as interest rates fail to drop.

This government is one of the most nakedly and unashamedly evil in a long time. "Stop whinging and get back to work, disableds! Don't you know that it'll set you free?!" I have a family member with a lifelong neurological condition that essentially mean they aren't able to work. Every year they and their caregivers have to prove to some handwringing ATOS jobsworth that no, learning disabilities don't actually improve with time. In ten years I fully expect them to be forced into employment of some kind, whether it's by Keith or whatever scumbag succeeds either him or Rishi.
