"How To Make Sure The Climate Apocalypse Doesn't Ruin Your European Vacation This Summer"

The London-based UK media is a trip. People dying in wildfires, floods, and just from the heat but they're all running some variant of that story today. Colonel Blimp is alive and well.

Interesting different press takes on the British passenger in this missing submersible. To the BBC, Hamish Harding is a "British Adventurer". To the Guardian, he is a "UK Billionaire". Interestingly, on this one the Daily Mail has gone with the same line as the Guardian - he's a billionaire.

Presumably both are true(ish). One is designed to make you feel some sympathy with him, one is designed to make you think it serves him right.

"Am I saying these people are manipulating you? Yes, I am. They seek to promote hatred and they succeed. They seek to distract and they succeed. They make lies truth and they make truth lies."

It is more important to the owners of the #express to be #rightWing than to be #right

Much like most of the #ukPress

After struggling in the nineteen nineties, by 2010 the UK NHS was rated best or close to the best in the world on outcomes, and yet it cost almost half as much as the US #healthcare system per person.

In 2022 the #NHS is a basket case, staff leaving in droves and it is about to collapse.

Whatever could the explanation be? It's a mystery to the #BBC, the #UKpress, and even #Channel4News.

What an utterly pernicious false equivalence here from the Sunday Express: veterans by their very definition are ex-service personnel & so wouldn't be housed in these quarters. Their homelessness is literally nothing to do with migrants by any stretch of the imagination

Time for all media outlets to add the Mastodon symbol next to the birdie on all their stories so we can toot'em.
