It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Really game-changing drug news
This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

I increasingly wonder if this is down to so many government people still using X and mistaking that for an actual measure of public opinion.
Poll after poll after poll has shown that British voters don't like small boats but they hate street violence and open racism much more.

Social media is not equivalent to the BBC (a public broadcaster should be held to a far higher standard, it's funded by us, it has privileged access to audiences, that's the whole point) but sheesh compare the government reaction to when a single person at Radio Westmorland does a bad Facebook post.
