it& #39;s very hard to internalise that so many people who were killed by covid were set up to die from it years before the pandemic emerged, by austerity, privatisation, nhs & #39;efficiency& #39; savings, by labour precarity. but there& #39;s no proper accountability without facing that imo

i don& #39;t care at all for a week long media circus about what johnson may or may not have said, i care that a fundamental disregard for human life has been written into the british state for years, longer. that made the distribution of these deaths all but certain

i hesitate to once again say that i am becoming the joker, but. the only reason we& #39;re even arguing about lockdowns because the last resort is the only response this state is willing to offer us at all

realise that twitter is a global website and ymmv, this thread is about the UK
