So, they were "surprised" not to find a slowdown toward the end of observation period, for obvious reasons of the ongoing pandemic linked to dementia presentation and progression. They have some explanation for this about the long onset, but just demographically, isn't it also likely that killing off many of the people most likely to get a dementia diagnosis made a difference? I feel like they missed that thread.

We need to reform the mass-deportation machine, not abolish it! Better training and more funding for those responsible will solve this. What we need is an error-free torment nexus to keep a permanent underclass and manage their population, and the Republicans are just too incompetent to deliver that.

really curious what type of person will fall for the bargain "what if we give you extra rights tied to your job, then take away your normal rights when you get sacked!" I imagine the most strident defenders won't be the ones covered under this; anyone concerned about the working class as a whole won't be impressed compared to the cuts from this government. I was gonna say maybe a few craven trade-unionists would get on board, but the only one quoted is a Labour peer and even he's not impressed.

so I'm wondering who really digs hearing about it, the target audience. in the US, part of the pipeline to the right for young people has been a hollowed-out appreciation for the aesthetics of organizing, post-Bernie 2016. would play great with them. but I don't know any analogous target audiences in the UK?
