Another good post from Mastidon - I’ve just reposted a few here … https://med-mastodon.com/@tweetsjen/109363114094495569

Reminder: Tory life peer, Baroness Dido Harding spaffed £37bn of tax payers money on a near hopeless track & trace system, while her Tory husband John Penrose was the so-called 'Anti-Corruption Tsar'.
The German track & trace cost around £1bn & worked very well.
In a reasonable democracy corrupt Tories would be charged for their cronyism & corruption. Many might be behind bars now, including one now earning £400,000 on an entertainment show

I have enhanced a beautiful autochrome from 1925, taken by Jules Gervais-Courtellemont, on the Bank of the Dordogne, near Beaulieu, in France. It was taken in colour and is not colourised.

I have cleaned-up & enhanced this remarkable portrait of the 16-year-old Christina Bevan (1897-1981) photographed in colour in the August of 1913, at Durdle Door in Lulworth, Dorset, by Lt-Colonel Mervyn O’Gorman. It is original colour (not colourised).

If it all goes down in flames, I’m gonna miss being followed by AOC and Gary Lineker on the Bird site. My kids thought I made it in life once I had these follows 🤓

It was three years ago that I started to see the shadow animals.

@ParkinJim definitely agree to the fact that vaccines are protective as as shown in the photo. They will prevent disease severity, but they can't fully protect infection. It's worrying that people think vaccines are silver bullets though. Makes them complacent and when they do get infected, they thing vaccine don't work. But that's awfully wrong.

Rachel Reeves - "We learn today that the Chancellor won't be clamping down on non-doms... how can you possibly claim this is fair... maybe that's the only policy the Chancellor couldn't get signed off by No.10... if you make Britain your home, you should pay your taxes here... "

"As Conservatives we do not leave our debts to the next generation," says Jeremy Hunt, who plans to delay the worst of the cuts and tax rises until after the next general election.

@White_Bite Which is why we have to do all of it.

Personally: Vax-Air-Space-Mask-Test-Isolate-Touch

Institutionally: Invest in air hygiene

Gov and employers: Provide support for voluntary isolation and sick leave

Can somebody remind Hunt that his party has been in power for 12 years.

He’s deluded.

A historian tells of life before the NHS "The ramshackle structure of competing and overlapping services meant real hardship for a significant proportion of the British public" Lesson for politicians thinking of further reorganisation and 'reform'.

Well there it went, my last day on Twitter.
Fuck you Elon.
I'm guessing I'll miss it at least as much as I miss My Face - Place - Space, whatever it was called.

Evolution is good.
Let's charm this elephant instead.

Welcome old and new.
Thanks for following. 🙏

There will follow a short period of mourning, for those who fell, and while I work out how to make gifs work. 🤔🙃
