Why would they care? Either it works and they’ll retain power or it doesn’t, and they’ll be in sweet-ass private sector gigs with the various business sectors they are currently working for, telling people they did their best but the people just wanted authoritarian crackdowns too much.

There’s no mystery here: the post-2008 crash social/economic settlement (vastly more cruel and destructive, maintained via media panics and constant hate campaigns, fuck you if you don’t like it) is incredibly unpopular, but the whole project for 17 years has been propping it up at *any* cost.

I don't want to live in a fascist theocracy or a KPI driven technocracy that aliases all humanity out of life what if we did some other kind of way

There is no countervailing force to this in British politics. The only serious resistance will come from sections of society that politicians and press have worked hand in hand for a decade to cut out of the process entirely, where they can.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
