Private equity decimated emergency care in the US. UK sleepwalking into the same disaster. GP surgeries, care homes, hospital units handed to private equity - devours everything for profits, asset-stripping, debt, low wages, staff cuts, poor care. vox.com/health-care/37ā€¦

The UCPI is officially a farce. One undercover cops appearing in the delayed hearings, and a ruling from Mitting that they'll not provide disclosure to the main groups targeted by #Spycops in the coming tranches. Incredible. A stitch up!

Palestine - and now Lebanon - have become a space "without civilians". All terrorists, deserving to die. Men, women, kids. This monstruosity must end.

So hereā€™s the interesting bit to me, YOUR data (personal medical record) is then one step nearer being a commodity, it is gold dust to business. Research is vital but I donā€™t trust governments with medical records.Especially where the pecuniary interests of backers is lurking.

Case in point: there's no way to build a backdoor that only the "good guys" can use. When the entire technical community says that the EU's ChatControl legislation + similar pose serious cybersecurity threats, we're not exaggerating for effect.

Thisā€¦ is an emotional post to write. What Iā€™m about to talk about is - Iā€™m absolutely sure - the most important work Iā€™ve ever done or will ever do.

Very deservedly, this podcast is now number 1 in the UK podcast charts. How a British journalist Carl Miller investigated ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE 'live' kill orders on the dark net. And helped secure 28 convictions for conspiracy to murder. Wild, wild story.
