This place is not helping so I'm taking a break for a little while.
See you soon. Probably.

Used to believe in the Labour Party, now don't believe in much of anything except climate disaster

If you admit privatising water was a huge giveaway of public property to the government’s mates, who have simply wrung every last coin they could from the public and let the infrastructure rot, well - what the fuck were any of these people talking about for the last four decades?

Nothing meaningful can be changed here. Water was privatised thirty-plus years ago and everyone who matters agrees that reversing it is ideological insanity, and fixing it is prohibitively expensive. They would all have to admit they were wrong, and 🤷🏼♂️ https://www.theguardian.com/business/nils-pratley-on-finance/2022/jun/28/the-water-regulator-finally-wakes-up-to-the-stench-of-the-sewage-scandal

YOU are their second best friend @MayorofLondon
YOU promised Londons Black community's that you'd hold them to account over #StopAndSearch = #Lies #Lies and #DamnLies
The @metpoliceuk being put into #SpecialMeasures by @HMICFRS IS a reflection on @MOPACLdn

@gem_ste They make £2bn/year in profits and they've let the infrastructure decline so badly in 30 years that it'll cost £100bn to fix.
There should be outrage over this, but the trouble is there's a dozen things to be outraged over at once.

Just to re-emphasise the point. Privatised water companies who make billions of pounds of profit for shareholders are pumping literal human shit into the country's waterways and Labour doesn't have a position on it. https://twitter.com/Feargal_Sharkey/status/1541692633214492672

Half a dozen friends went (independently of each other) to Glastonbury at the weekend.
Guess what they've all got now?

Never mind the profiteering.

Anyway, can anyone identify what the problem might be with “a commitment by the government” to investigate why e.g. it held off the second lockdown as late as possible, with tens of thousands of people dying within mere weeks of the vaccine that might have saved them.

Horrendous examples from the 1970s, 2000s and 2010s here, all fitting much the same pattern of malfeasance, denial and very public blame-shifting. This long essay on Hillsborough is also well worth your time, although maybe not before bedtime https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/oct/21/the-great-betrayal-how-the-hillsborough-families-were-failed-by-the-justice-system
