Its insane that they don't tweak the laws to make it mandatory for employers to use HVAC, i believe it is around £15k for a HVAC set-up, but the overall cost of incapacity en masse is far greater and yet affects customers/workers alike. Disastrous policies = disastrous outcomes.

I'd say the Damehood was her objective, perhaps with Vallance too. If they played the game, they'd get the spoils. The influence of money has been very stark. UKHSA constantly conflates C-19 with other illnesses too to confuse people.

Yet, HVAC units would sort it out.

Yup, the ticking timebomb that even though they know is there, refuse to intervene to do anything about. LC is a disaster, the cost of healthcare will be gigantic if they don't wise up. Farage knows it, he sees the profit, Labour know it, but are trapped by donors/lobbyists. Total disaster.

Between Johnson and Harries, they've likely set in motion a catastrophe in 10-15 years.

I'm seeing marked declines in overall health in nearly everyone who acted like nothing is happening, it's really concerning. Coughs that persist, complaints about low mood/concentration and malaise.

I've always rejected it and chose to rebel, i've never even used public transport in 5 years approx. No safety = No deal.

its quite alienating, yet i'm just sort of living in the real world, it's impossible to unknow what i learned about it all. There's something up with the regulators too.

So they took our tax money, turned it into a profit machine and then extracted money for a problem they did not solve. Likely a perfect example of state capture enacted by the conservatives.

Yet, there is no pushback, clean air was always the compromise, they just wanted to keep the money.

What always disturbed me about private vaccines, is that the edict was to ignore risk and pretend everything is fine, meanwhile, these companies in essense imposed a health tax upon the world without any prior consent and the research was funded by the public, its scandalous.

Martandelus (Cheez) @martandelus.bsky.social · 6h

The post freedom day mantra was always framed as "we must live without fear", yet, this was emotionally manipulative. The fear of being judged or pointed at, overwrote the very logical fear of becoming incapacitated, it's a survival mechanism. Yet capital demands we conform to it.

Its true that for the most, people feel disempowered and that they have no choice but to comply with unending mass illness, but nothing could be further from the truth, it just takes accepting that contrast isn't a sin, rebellion can be righteous and that empathy is strength.

This should be the scandal of the century, but yet it continually gets burried by the media and governments, the power of billionaires has grown to the point of overwriting reality, the biggest motivation they had to lie and scheme was that they could exploit it. Doesn't get the attention it needs.

-Where are the arrests? -Where’s our taxpayers’ money? Why isn’t it being clawed back?
-Where’s the vax this year for most of us?
Is this why there’s this pretence that Covid is over when it quite patently isn’t?
How many more avoidable deaths/more LongCovid?

Probably will pop on some manner of review once the data cable arrives, bit weird having to buy those separate.

So that'll be that, i guess :P

The thinking was to see what the rage was/is

They reckon they're good for exercise, again, skeptical, but the selling point by far was playing Alien Isolation and the sort. Looks crazy with those.

Took a while to save tho, blimey. That shit is getting harder every time.

Hehe, well, i think i'm going to have some fun tonight.

*Finally* managed to pick up one of those VR Headsets and settled upon the Meta Quest 3s, Now way i was paying like £800 for em', just yuk. Turns out they can do some very interesting things.

And i get to look like Robocop 😅

100% - the rightward slant is coming from the donors, its not looking great for them. Kendall, Streeting and Reeves have became captured. It'll take a sweep of parliament at the next GE to sort this one out. I'm likely going for either libdems or greens unless something drastic happens.

Martandelus (Cheez) @martandelus.bsky.social · 1d

I'm starting to like what Zack is doing out there, he's making use of webspace quite well and attempting to bring others along with him, probably what we need just now. Folks need to know somebody is fighting in their corner, regretfully Labour just isn't getting it's comms right atm.

Martandelus (Cheez) @martandelus.bsky.social · 1d

Jeez, it's getting to the point where nothing is sacred. We keep hearing about this stuff with increasing frequency too. It's simmering down to the kids as well, they're launching fireworks at random people now. Somebody will get hurt if it doesn't get curbed or worse.

This is the result of Farage and Jenrick’s far-right, divisive rhetoric. Hard working, responsible people feeling afraid for their future.
Disgraceful.

Seriously though, we've got to somehow nurture this with new voters, it might seem like a bygone conclusion with Reform in the equation. But if we can get across what was taken away via Brexit, we might have a chance at stopping this rot-train.

He's one of the few voices on the other side that make any sense these days, hell ye, terrible idea to Brexit 🙋‍♂️

Lord Heseltine, "The number of people aged below 50 who think it was right for us to leave the European Union, is less than 20%

"The latest polls tells us 56% now believe it was mistake to leave the European Union"

Hands up if you are one of the 56% 🙋‍♂️

I'm certain that it will, once it all hits a particular rock bottom, the only way is up luckily, just gotta get people back to their senses and act as one, even if it takes a general strike or something major, might be the only way.

Martandelus (Cheez) @martandelus.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, they're taking advantage of it and rewriting history in that odd way that they do, i just hope that the spell wears off in time.

Martandelus (Cheez) @martandelus.bsky.social · 1d

Truly terrifying, i mean damn, at the time when our foes are gearing up, the RW are determined to foment divisions, its dangerous as all hell. We proper need unity in these times, but there's so much power brokering going on that it's blinding them.
