FUN FACT
£20m to feed starving kids is:

- Less than half a garden bridge
- Less than half the money spent on the ferry company with no ferries
- 11% of just one of the dodgy PPE contracts
- 0.17% of the failed Test & Trace
- 0.02% of Operation Moonshot
- 0.01% of cost of Brexit

Didn’t even realise MP’s get a £25 per day food allowance.

£125 per week
£1300 per year ( per person)
£845,000 per year for all MP’s

£800k + of our taxes go towards feeding MP’s on £80k a year while children go hungry. If that doesn’t bother you then you have a problem

One of the wisest reminders I’ve come across recently (paraphrased):

-We are not all in the same boat. We are in the same STORM. Some of us are in yachts, and some are in rowboats, some are clinging to driftwood. We are all in different boats in the same storm.

The first half of August 2020 on Twitter:

Absolutely numb to hear of the death of @sebpatrick. We only met in person once, but I felt I knew him well from @ganymedetitan, @RedDwarfHQ, Noise To Signal, Unlimited Rice Pudding & his Spider-Man comic. To say that he was taken from us in his prime is clearly an understatement

Met is too strong a word, but I went to both Nick Courtney's funeral and memorial service and was in the same room as Tom Baker, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and David Tennant for a time.

I was sad at the latter and @tuckerspatch tried to cheer me up.

I don't understand what Ru'afo has seen. We've no evidence the Federation is any kind of decline.

— Vector Picasso (@vectorpicasso) August 10, 2020

Also, the Son'a worked for the Dominion and Ru'afo may well have had access to their intelligence about the Federation. His dealings with Admiral Dougherty would also make the Federation seem desperate.

— David Black (@Davetweetedthis) August 10, 2020

We can also potentially infer that the Borg aren't interested in the Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians etc, and that taking on the Borg is seen as something of a lost cause. Although I'll concede that isn't quite what he says here.
