So... Digital ID to catalogue, monitor and control everyone's every move, word, interaction and deed;
then, tear up everyone's human rights to remove the final vestiges of protection against a dangerously predatory, totally untrustworthy, totalitarian state.

NO way it ends well for citizens.

Completely agree :)

Stefan @stefanmacp.bsky.social · 23h

True. It certainly won't provide the slightest benefit to UK residents, and in all probability will cause substantial problems (which, of course, they will have utterly failed to anticipate).

Yeah, I think you're right.
To be honest I think that if they plan to implement this then the first step should be to test and expel all Members of Parliament and their aides who fail.
Candidates to become future MPs must pass A-Level English.
All newspaper Journalists too must pass too.

can we please deport any of the said flag-shagging dipshits who fail A-Level English ?? Please?!!

They seemed awfully fond of Rwanda so perhaps they'd enjoy it there.

Around 75% of UK citizens would fail A-Level English, by my estimate.
It's quite a ridiculous, draconian requirement.

It will exclude most Doctors and Nurses coming to work in the NHS, just one 'for instance', because medical and scientific skills do not automatically confer linguistic skills.

This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social
having done all the work for them .
Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?

Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 4d

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

MAGA is such a selfish, insular and myopic movement. Unless it affects them personally it either isn’t happening or they simply don’t care.

Sharp global rise in antibiotic-resistant infections in hospitals, WHO finds

Experts describe findings as deeply concerning and predict 70% increase in related deaths by 2050 Hospitals across the world have recorded an alarming rise in common infections that are resistant to antibiotics, with doctors saying the number of deaths driven by drug resistance will increase sharply in the years ahead. One in six laboratory-confirmed bacterial infections were resistant to antibiotic treatments in 2023, with more than 40% of antibiotics losing potency against common blood, gut, urinary tract and sexually-transmitted infections between 2018 and 2023, records show.

it is essential of course not to underestimate the role of the BBC and the Murdoch & Rothermere media in the whole and current UK Brexit shitshow.

Had the BBC et al. not championed Farage & Leave with their continuous platforming, Brexit couldn't have happened.
