In case you follow me @X, my account was HACKED and someone is impersonating me selling bitcoin (and who knows what else to come).
Beyond that, all attempts to contact X to rectify the matter go nowhere.
If you have an account there, and get the chance, please post so people will know. Thanks!

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

“This is going to be great television,” said Trump.

Again, how Neil Postman - drawing on Huxley rather than Orwell - got a lot of what is now happening right, back in 1985:

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country.
They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

Oddly enough, “stop running down the public services in which they work and stop hateful misinformation campaigns against them just for doing their jobs” does not feature as a proposed solution.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.

Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.
While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn.

That's how privatisation 'works'.

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.

For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK
In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme

I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

Always been surprised that no one has made a modern movie about Al-Kahina, the semi-mythical warrior queen of the Berbers.
She ruled NE Africa and swept down from mountainous redoubts to humiliate the hitherto unstoppable forces of Islam.

Love this. ‘Queue’ is from the French word with the same spelling (but pronounced as ‘kuh’) meaning an animal’s long tail.

In the 18th and 19th centuries it also referred to a pigtail and was sometimes spelled as ‘cue’, which gave us the name of the long thin rod used in snooker.
the “ueue” in “queue” is really just there as an example
