Please remember that the UK had seen what happened in Wuhan (China) and Lombardy (Italy) when they had to decide in the end how to mitigate for Covid in 2020. And the evidence was that unmitigated SARS-CoV-2 spread was recipe for disaster

The truth lies here, only we are in a time of post truth and particularly on COVID. Over 250k now have lost their lives. How many would still be here had we the proper guidance for covid is airborne. Yet again fobbed off with the lockdown narrative.

The worst part for me of the covid inquiry is that their key findings are still calling preventions restrictions and implying only vulnerable people are at risk when we know long covid is also a risk to everyone. No mention of airborne transmission. Basically nothing has been learnt.

It has squandered its time and attention on ridiculous fiscal rules, persecuting refugees and trashing ecosystems in the name of growth, while failing to deliver what we so desperately want.

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.
