  2. It is hard to find a pic which sums up Brexity right wing sabotage of #Britain better than this.

    Pointless vandalism of something benefiting the entire community and planet ... plus an attached sign begging for the plant to be given any clean, saved household water during morning or evening.

    It still amazes me how so many #Brits avoid the real issue of how successive capitalistic, privilege-favouring #Governments exploit them ... by letting themselves be redirected (by those in on the exploitation) to resent anyone different.

    It is a stain of stupidity on the British psyche milked and perpetuated by #Farage, #Badenoch, #Johnson, #Gove, #ReesMogg and all similar self-serving enablers, cronies, and unseen donors.

    The formula:
    Excessive privilege + establishment play 'outsider' and activate dark triad traits in the population ... to extract more from the wider population (while saying 'these are hard times'), joining any corrupt country-sabotaging scheme going, and ensuring psychopathic pro-fossil fuel narrative, corporate-fronted evasion of fair taxation, and genuine improvement of social and health services is avoided, unless for the gain of their dirty deals and donors. All with a thinly spread veneer of 'token' superficial improvements to *seem* non-sabotaging.

    Hate-eroded far right 'brains' run to it every time. Lemmings off a cliff, betraying their country while waving the flags obsessively. Moronic.

  3. More than 25% of #uk #musicians lost all their work in the #EU following #brexit. Most than 45% say earnings from tours have fallen and 59% say that touring in #Europe is not viable.

    In addition the Creative Europe funding programme stopped in the UK. Music supports about 220,000 people in the UK.

    Yet another reason #Brexit was a huge lie told by liars like #Farage #tice #johnson #gove and similar (fill word in here).

  4. As a parent of two kids sitting their SATs today under the most difficult of conditions having lost their beloved grandpa on Saturday, but also having spent a year of being force fed a diet of almost exclusively grammar and maths, I don’t feel much optimism for Britain’s kids.

    The education system for teachers and kids crashed and burned under the #Tories #Gove. #Labour has changed nothing.

    Schools and universities are failing everyone. A technocratic expensive failure is what I see.

  5. #bbc #radio4 #today Commentary , IMO , anything #Gove (aka, nurses 'best boy'), says is written for him by the fascist Black Shirts of Tufton Street. #justsaying #resist ✊ 🇪🇺 😎

  6. Modelled on the infamous quip from Michael #Gove in the #Brexit campaign -- and likely to be even more disastrous in its consequences 🤮

    #Gove
    On behalf of education staff - WTF - into the House of Lords !

    And #Shapps gets a few knighthoods !

    The whole of the honours system needs to be scrapped.

  8. “Michael Gove to be awarded peerage in Rishi Sunak’s resignation honours.” Lord Coke of Cokeshire. #Gove #HouseOfLords #Tories

  9. The Gove is to be the editor of the Spectator

    Of course he is

    Why didn't I see this coming

    #Gove
    #Spectator
    #FarRightBritishWankMags

  10. A massive whiff of misogyny about the reasons given for #Birmingham City Council going bust.

    #Gove was quite happy for it to be blamed on a huge equal pay claim and for the city to flog its assets at fire sale prices to cover a figure that’s wildly inflated. The blame could then be laid at door of #unions.

    But it seems it was actually a botched IT system upgrade.

    So whose heads will roll?

  11. #Gove’s #FreeSchools increase #segregation and harm nearby #schools, says study

    Michael Gove’s policy aimed to create ‘galvanising effect’ on system in #England but led to rise in divisions

    The #UCL study of free schools found that despite claims of setting high standards, this was not the case. Primary free schools performed worse than a matched sample of similar schools, while secondary free schools performed no better or worse.

  18. 'No compelling examples of what #LevellingUp has delivered, watchdog finds

    #PublicAccountsCommittee report shows hardly any of 71 projects due to be completed this month are on track

    Hillier said #Gove’s department appeared to have been “blinded by optimism” in funding projects that were “clearly anything but ‘shovel-ready’, at the expense of projects that could have made a real difference”.'

  19. '#Extremism' presents no threat (#MaryBerry is extremist on some topics) but #Gove is redefining terms

    Extremism threat to state,1975:
    "The Government use the description of subversive activities...first formulated by Lord Harris of Greenwich...those which threaten the safety or well-being of the State & which are intended to undermine or overthrow Parliamentary democracy by political, industrial or violent means".

    #Subversion (Definition) (#Hansard, 15 June 1984)

  20. #DWP errors leave more than 200,000 #pensioners £1.3bn out of pocket

    Report concludes government failed to fix basic mistakes and civil servants ‘asleep at the switch.

    165,000 also missed out on £1.2bn in the previous year, the #PublicAccountsCommittee (#PAC) found.

    It seems to me some of us expected rather less from #brexit - less #bitterness, less of a #hangover, less damage to our #socialFabric and #economy

    and much of that is getting progressively worse, not better.

    All those liars who promoted this nonsense, including #gove, are lessened by the #bitterHarvest reaped from the #brexitLies they sowed so "successfully"
