Last week we were told that NHS staff weren’t getting COVID-19 vaccinations. This week an email about a sudden increase in COVID-19 cases on the wards. Do appreciate people trying to staff the wards didn’t make the vaccination decision though. They’re probably livid.

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy.
Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation.
If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

There is no evidence for this claim. The referenced professor is an ex UKIP candidate. Covid vaccinees are safe and effective.

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings
Exclusive: Reform leader’s use of television star-style arrangement is a practice criticised across the political spectrum
Nigel Farage is using a private company to reduce his tax bill on his GB News media appearances and other outside employment in a television star-style arrangement that has in recent years become frowned on by major broadcasters.
The Reform UK leader diverts money from his prime-time TV show into his company, which means that he paid only 25% corporation tax on profits, instead of 40% income tax, and could offset some expenses. Continue reading...

Migrants can't answer back.

So they make the perfect scapegoat for the pent-up rage of the angry, self-loathing far right who can unite around this issue.
In addition it gives the media something to write about in the long summer recess.
