Professor at University of Glasgow in beautiful Scotland. Views obviously my own and not medical advice or representative of my employers. Hate injustice and worried about the future of healthcare (and humanity)! ☮️
Crazy to see our PM and politicians protecting foreign football hooligans with a long reputation for violence and racist chanting while arresting peaceful protesters against genocide!!
They really don’t care about the real challenges facing people in the UK and they don’t serve or represent us!

I can no longer tell the difference between MAGA, the Tories or Labour/UK govt who manufacture crises & outrage to target organisations they don’t like (PS this includes the NHS).
Meanwhile, universities and the NHS (both gems of the UK) are collapsing on this govt’s watch to enable privatisation.

Target an easy group to create the “problem”, so you can introduce the intrusive “solution” for all.
And that, is why, in addition to being the decent thing to do, you have to support vulnerable groups being targeted because they ALWAYS come for you eventually!

101: How to play the media, govt & public.
Farage says something “horrible”, waits for Starmer/Labour/media to discuss feasibility of his “proposals” rather than criticising the content & ethics…he then rows back to show how “reasonable” he is; Starmer/Labour left holding the unacceptable views!

Correct wording should be:
“How acceptable is Reform’s plan on migration?”
Correct answer is “not at all”.
But of course the BBC know this and deliberately used the “wrong” word. Propaganda 101 in expanding the Overton Window!

The irony completely lost on the BBC and government that THEIR constant dog-whistling about migrants feeds and drives this - it stops when they stop this!
Note also the use of passive language to soften the message…should be “Game stopped as spectator racially abuses player”

Interesting juxtaposition of text on left “Virgin Media offers award winning service…fastest widely-available broadband speeds” and map on right showing reported problems at Virgin Media!

Obviously different police forces but these adjacent stories highlight perfectly how UK police will spend ("waste") time & our taxes fighting culture wars for their "clients" & defending a foreign army who murder children but not investigate abuse of the people they are paid to serve & protect!
