It bothers me that today I had to point out…

To former Tory MP @PhilipDaviesUK

That the Hillsborough families invoked the ECHR in their fight for justice

Because he, like so many, either doesn’t know

…or is being disingenuous about the vital protections the ECHR affords us.

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”?

You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

Israeli human rights groups are describing actions in Gaza as a genocide. It's undeniable, are people who deny it are enabling it.

Two Israeli human rights groups say their country is committing genocide in Gaza
It is the first time that Jewish-led organizations in Israel have made such accusations against the country during nearly 22 months of war.

Cheese, salads and readymeals all affected by recent recalls linked to Listeria....where is the commonality? These are all separate manufacturers.

Niall O @corklad.bsky.social · Jul 28
Separate companies, unless there were ingredients from the same supplier or some issue further along the supply chain they are almost certainly unrelated. Lots of points where bad practice can creep in.

Will the FSAI investigation reveal, the root cause and where in the supply chain the issues arose?

Was it a process in the manufacturer or a failure, possibly a failure in the chill chain, further along the process of getting the product onto shelf?
