questionnaire: agree or disagree?: it's always good to be nice.

also quotes org "Measure What Matters" claiming that Labour spent £90M on a PR company campaign to promote SEND reforms (i.e. cutting support for disabled kids in school). this ime fits with how the uk press launches into apparently spontaneous anti-benefits campaigns impeccibly timed ahead of labour's benefits cutting campaigns.

"But, as far as we can tell, a call for evidence is not covered by the same requirements as a consultation, so may be much more difficult to challenge in court while still leaving the DWP free to argue that claimants had a say in the review."

genuinely feels good and reassuring to see online comrades posting about wearing masks. thanks if you're doing that!

@alex “It isn’t deadly anymore. You don’t need to wear that everywhere”

⁃ It isn’t deadly to who?
⁃ Was death the only concern?
⁃ Is covid the only concern?
⁃ No I didn’t wear masks before covid but now I am aware of what that meant to some people’s ability to participate

what did they think was going to happen when they signed up for the leftism. did they not want to do any of it.

(yeah i looked at twitter again)
a funny thing about anti-mask leftists whining about being "scolded" into praxis (i.e. masking in this case) is that your comrades absolutely *should* be holding you to your principles. we should be doing the things we claim to value.

imagining a "covid is over" irony guy black bloc that is so ruthlessly committed to ableist anti-masking that they form bloc with their faces completely uncovered
