https://twitter.com/IanDunt/status/1444964064824893449If @stephenkb is right that this is the thinking - that NI must not be allowed to show up the results of its Brexit deal - it's a shocking way of making decisions.

Is David Frost making empty threats about tearing up the Northern Ireland protocol?
https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/northern-ireland/2021/10/is-david-frost-making-empty-threats-about-tearing-up-the-northern-ireland-protocol
The EU think Frost is bluffing as usual but if this is right, Frost and Johnson are considering triggering the protocol because Northern Ireland is not witnessing the shortages that GB is because of the differing trade arrangements with the EU. They are going to risk further destabilisation of Northern Irish communities, risk a hard border on the island of Ireland, risk a return to the violence that would inevitably ensue it that were to happen - because they are embarrassed that the shelves are empty, the petrol tanks are running dry and food is rotting in the fields on the mainland... none of which is happening in NI because common market rules still apply.
That they are even thinking this way demonstrates how utterly despicable they are.
It is all about patriarchal power and control..

It is essential to womans equality with man that she be the decisionmaker, that her choice be controlling. If you impose restraints that impede her choice, you are disadvantaging her because of her sex. The Notorious RBG at her confirmation hearing.
How dare we want equality... 👀
It takes a special kinda special...
As vaccine mandates come into force for some professions, Sunday papers are reporting that the unvaccinated are paying up to £750 for an NHS digital vaccine certificate, a fraudulent service that is advertised on the unvaccinated telegram interwebs. So, to be clear, a vaccine certificate, that is available and free to all those who have taken up the offer of a free vaccine (that is designed to protect everyone from a deadly virus) are being sold to the unvaccinated for about $1000
when they could literally get it for free if they got vaccinated.
Not just a special kinda special but a dangerous kinda (skint) special.

And every single woman, living in a world of male violence, is gas lighted by the patriarchy to shoulder the blame for their victimhood.
Every. Single. Time.
Do not forgive or forget what co-conspirators and apparatchiks... helped to manifest.
"Where were Grisham and the others while Trump was president? Why werent they brave enough to step forward with what they knew? The fullness of the historical record is crucial here, make no mistake, but waiting to go public after hes gone (for now) only serves the self-interests of the author. Do not forgive or forget what co-conspirators and apparatchiks like Grisham helped to manifest. Theyre speaking out now, but while they had a chance to make a difference, they refused to speak. After all, theres book money to be made after the fact, right?" - Bob Cesca
Bears repeating..
May they be forever shunned...

never mind life expectancy, never mind cancer outcomes
Life expectancy gone backwards for poorest.
If cancer incidence and survival rates across the poorest matched the wealthier there would be 19,000 fewer deaths per year.
Life & death matters.
Oh look our very own death cult... 👀 It took a while but he caught up with MAGA in the end 🤢
