@AyoCaesar Ah, I’m old enough to remember when Mr Branson was not in favour of bailing out airlines

Don't bail out British Airways, urges Branson

Sir Richard Branson has urged the Government not to contemplate a bail-out of British Airways, saying the struggling flag carrier is almost worthless.

Unanchored capitalism has led to this - over years, not overnight. The impact on health inequalities is inevitable - would be interesting to correlate COVID outcomes with the inequality index. And what’s the morality of bringing in health workers from LDCs to such inequality?

This is a desperate human consequence of what happens in a bullying culture. Couple that with the regulatory bullying of cases like Dr Udoye, Mr Kumar, etc. And finally the national estimate of ~£2.3 billion per year on bullying and discrimination cases. This is unbearable

Scripted pandering with a racist joke. Is this what’s needed, alongside raging against ‘woke’, for a BME person to be selectable? This trickles down to people not in public life. I was steered to this clip by someone passing their same comment to me as acceptable, based on this.

This is what systematised racism looks like. POLICE chokehold and pin a pedestrian. PARAMEDICS oversedate and don’t listen to him. MEDICS don’t perform a complete autopsy. LAWYERS work to conceal revised autopsy. MEDIA reports the killing in a passive voice. #ElijahMcClain

Signposting vulnerable staff to local services is asking traumatised individuals to seek help from within the organisation that is often the source of the trauma. Like our speaking up processes, it therefore is likely to not be accessed by those most in need. (end)
