NZ replaced FPTP with Mixed Member Proportional in 1994. Under MMP you get two votes: one for your local MP, and one for the party you want in power. A party gets seats proportional to their party vote share = local seats won plus topup seats from their party list. #MmpUK #GE2019

The UK Online Safety act is out and causing havoc. The privacy and self doxing laws always claim they are about protecting children, but what it’s really doing is building a database of users personal info in a country that wants to arrest you for online speech. The Tea app shows this info will be leaked. Not if, but when. It’s just a bad idea.

It’s purpose is suppression of the people
The Online Safety Act was never about protecting anyone.

"I'm not just a stupid oncologist...I have a fantastic experience in designing vaccines...in every case but one I have been able to link [patients'] onset of their turbo cancer to their third or fourth booster vaccine." Angus Dalgleish, a professor of oncology at St George’s, University of London, describes for NZ Doctors Speaking Out with Science (@nzdsos) how he has been able to link his patients' onset of "turbo cancer" to their third or fourth COVID injection in every case but one. Dalgleish notes that "the link with the booster vaccines and cancer is really real." --------------Partial transcription of clip------------- "I wanted to point out to everybody that I'm not just a stupid oncologist as I've been flipped away with. I have a fantastic experience in designing vaccines, and I've had lots of ones that don't work. So I'm very tuned to avoiding useless dangerous vaccines. And I pointed all this out right at the beginning to our government and all their advisors, and they just chose to ignore me. We also pointed out the side effect profile and how to avoid it. They all chose to to ignore me. "And so I basically am furious that not only did they do this, but they're still offering all my colleagues, including myself, routine booster vaccines, which scientifically we have shown will do nothing but harm, depress your immune system and increase your chances of getting infected again and again and getting cancer. And that's what I was pointing out. This is the link with the booster vaccines and cancer is really real. "Without a doubt, there is a great link. There's a correlation. The people are arguing, the establishment argue that it's not causal. It's just a series of anecdotals and to ignore it. I've spoken to surgeons who just say it's just they've never seen anything like it. I have seen patients come to me for second opinion. They're devastated. And in every case but one I have been able to link the onset of their turbo cancer to their third or fourth booster vaccine, which they shouldn't have had. And I believe they wouldn't have the cancer had they not had that."

So the @cabinetofficeuk is still thinking about whether it's in the public interest to release information about what the Prime Minister discussed with Bill Gates in Downing Street a few weeks after the general election. A reminder that Gates is a foreign national - given privileged access to the UK government - despite having no electoral mandate or official role in either the United States or United Kingdom. The fact that he, and Larry Fink, were given such high profile and high level access to UK government, so soon after the election of the Labour government, is offensive to the British electorate. Corporatism of this nature is simply unacceptable. Well done @Lewis_Brackpool for pursuing this FOI request.
Update on my FOI request regarding Bill Gates’ meeting with Keir Starmer: The Cabinet Office has extended the response deadline, citing Section 35 of the FOI Act, which protects the government policy-making process. They are currently conducting a public interest test to determine whether releasing the information is appropriate. A response is now expected by 23 January 2025, though this may be further delayed if more time is deemed necessary.

The expansion of Artificial Intelligence into security systems raises fundamental concerns about human rights, dignity, and the rule of law. Every moment of delay in establishing international AI guardrails increases the risk for us all.

Good to see the government unequivocally rule out any reintroduction of blasphemy laws. But believe me, vigilance is needed against potential backdoor attempts to impose similar restrictions through other speech laws. secularism.org.uk/news/2024/…

In the interests of truth, transparency and justice I’ll soon be exposing the appalling, sickening & shoddy journalism of the BBC in relation to Steven Bartlett podcast. It’s a symptom of the most horrific crime against humanity of my lifetime and I will not remain silent

I think we also need to seriously consider the implications of today’s announcement for the rule of law. In effect, an important law set down in clear terms by Parliament for vital public policy reasons was roundly ignored for decades, with the government agencies & regulators who were supposed to enforce it effectively legalising rampant criminal conduct. And make no mistake, the consequences of this failure to uphold the law are not trivial. The deeply serious results include: - billions of pounds of money that should have been spent on infrastructure effectively being stolen & fraudulently siphoned off. - our irreplaceable rivers damaged & destroyed in ways that may take decades to recover. - thousands of people injured (some very seriously) by being made ill as a result of illegal sewage spills. - millions of people denied their clear legal right to use & enjoy our rivers & seas; businesses bankrupted by sewage spills & whole towns damaged & devalued by it. We now need those organisations who failed to uphold the law to recognise the serious consequences & how they will do things differently, stop this happening again & repair the damage caused.
Well, there we have it. Today’s ruling by the Office for Environmental Protection confirms the simple fact that much of the sewage going into our rivers would not be happening if government had simply enforced the law. The ruling strongly vindicates what environmental campaigners & volunteer river guardians have been saying for years: the law is clear & unambiguous & is not being enforced. However, given the destruction this has caused to the rivers we love, we aren’t going to enjoy saying ā€˜we told you so’. We now need urgent action: the government must properly fund the Environment Agency so that they can prosecute every.single.illegal.sewage. spill & direct all the fines back into restoring the rivers that have been so badly damaged by the sewage scandal. If these prosecutions don’t happen, the privatised water companies will simply have no incentive to fix illegal sewage spills. It is also terrible for the rule of law to have flagrant criminal offences occurring in broad daylight that result in zero action or enforcement.

A useless stupid Govt decision.
Thames Water will today add upto £250 to water bills in next two years with a £3bn loan at 9.75% interest rate. Public ownership is the alternative to this scam and the government could stop the bills going up by putting the company into Special Administration @GreenJennyJones

I was shocked to find that this government COULD find out how Israel is using the F35 Strike Fighters whose parts are made in the UK - it's just chosen not to. Until we suspend all arms export licences to Israel, the UK will remain complicit in the killing of civilians.

6ļøāƒ£Just for clarity - the UK's #CCS plans involve new gas and hydrogen plants. Since N Sea gas is already maxed out, that means importing more LNG. A new study shows US imported LNG is 33% worse than coal, with 2/3rds of the climate effect occurring along the supply chain. The UK TIMES model presumably treats a CCS-enabled power station running with the claimed 95% capture as emitting just 5% of the blue bar, totally ignoring the yellow and red bars because they're overseas....! news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

3ļøāƒ£The model produces perverse results, because it's driven by the UK's emissions targets—which ignore the emissions we cause overseas. So the computer picks solutions that spew out huge amounts of greenhouse gases, but that's apparently OK because they happen somewhere elsešŸ™„

I've asked the Ministry of Justice to review the guidance on the sentencing for people saying stupid things on social media. It is not right that individuals have been sent to prison for months and months over an unpleasant and ill-judged post. We need an urgent rethink.
