Roy Lilley (NHSManagers.net) on the paradox of public health:

'We talk more than ever about prevention.

We invest less than ever in the means to deliver it.

We say we want a healthier population, but…

we organise the system so that no one is truly responsible for making it happen.

Public health hasn’t gone. It’s has been hollowed out. Functions scattered. Authority diluted'!

Its not the only reason the health service is in crisis but it certainly doesn't help!

If you’re tired of feeling like there’s nothing that you can do to help make the world a better place besides voting, I’m here to tell you that there is…

Volunteer.

Food banks, soup kitchens, senior centers, blood banks, animal shelters, and more. Find a place where you can be in the service of others. Where you can give back to the community that you live in.

It’s a great way to get out of your own head. Serve others, and serve the better parts of yourself in return

Who profits from digital age check laws? Who gets the data?

ICYMI: Meta, Heritage Foundation, and NCOSE - formerly Morality in Media - have been traced in open records (including IRS) as the source of lobbying and funding behind age-check laws *globally*

DCA's leadership traces directly to NCOSE ⬇️
