There appears to be no reporting whatsoever in the MSM on the fact that NHS waiting lists are the lowest in three years thanks to the govt focusing on the most impoverished areas of the UK.

Waiting lists cut three times faster in highest joblessness areas
Waiting lists in 20 areas in England fall three times faster than the national average thanks to experts deployed by government to help supercharge NHS care.

This is also a field test.
If the press lets them muddy the waters on executing a woman in Minneapolis despite multiple witnesses and video recordings clearly depicting what happened, the message they'll take away is that there's nothing they can't get away with.

Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

It’s what a broadcast assistant does in a radio recording. But there’s only one of you, so you need to be your own BA.
