@KimSJ It's not about "the economy", right wingers and their oligarch backers *want* a poor, sick, desperate working class. More deaths, like fewer services, means they take what they can get without resistance. It's a return to Dickensian times. #NeverTrustATory

@KimSJ And they *never* explained *either* of: (1) what use "the economy" was to a dead person, or: (2) what use a dead person was to "the economy".

@KimSJ Here in Iceland like comparing the CoVid situation to the plot of the movie Jaws. We could have closed the borders and kept people safe on the island but tourism had to happen. It eventually landed in a way that the border was monitored for the virus (with insane exceptions) and that went the same way as in the aforementioned movie.

@KimSJ I might consider dying for the economy. Nah, not really, but I hope many politicians decide it's their time to GIVE back.

@KimSJ The thing is they’re not trying to “save Christmas” they’re trying assimilate others shoving Jesus down our throats, although today, their own “savior” if you approve of his words about love, tolerance, etc would not approve of their actions. He’d be asking, “what the hell happened to you people “?

@KimSJ @therightarticle I heard a speech recently from a science advisor who was working for the Government during the pandemic. They were asked what they thought about Sunak’s dining out plan. They said that they were not consulted and heard about it when we all did in a Government press conference. The science team referred to it as ‘Eat out to spread out’.

@KimSJ John McDonnell rightly called it social murder (though in relation to austerity) and was excoriated for it by both the press and politicians of all colours, as it was too rude. This is a country where if you steal some bottles of water you go to prison, but if your policies kill thousands of people, you end up on the Board of the British Museum. (Though come to think of it, that is fairly apt).

@KimSJ what gets me about all of this is that they're acting like covid is over and the damage is done. like the current government isn't killing thousands from covid every year. like the damage isn't cumulative and continuous. they're all complicit. they're doing this, mind you, while having full ventilation and precautions in the enquiry itself. they know. they all know and they don't care.
