botswana, which had 0 new cases today is on the 'red list', meaning if you come from there and don't quarantine in a hotel (costing £2k) you can get 10 years in jail BUT the US, which has had 96,460 new cases today is....not. Looks like it's not really about covid, is it.

I don’t think I can stand to see another one of these duplicitous, deceitful, stomach churning statements from Western politicians feigning concern for the horrors they have enabled.

I mean, is the power of the Royal Family really 'just symbolic' when the queen *still* owns 1/6th of the world's land surface?

I’m not there so I’ll say it here: PRISONS AND POLICING ARE A MAJOR DRIVER OF INEQUALITY. Defunding the police is part of creating a more equal society

. @michaeljswalker arguing against ‘defund the police’. At Glastonbury… Range of opinions here! Says you need to focus on creating a more equal society first and that it’s putting the ‘cart before the horse’.

The court accepted South Africa’s request that no side use videos as evidence. This was to prevent manipulative use of traumatic footage and (more importantly imo) not divert the trial into arguments about veracity of footages.
