#NMUKBBCNewsnight 'Lenin wannabe' image repurposed; replacing the infamous Corbyn image with Johnson.
#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTimesMattDathan "Boris Johnson is planning to replace Gavin Williamson as education secretary with a rising Tory star who is popular in the party for attacking 'woke campaigners,' The Times has been told. Kemi Badenoch, an equalities minister who also serves in Rishi Sunak's Treasury team, is being lined up for the key cabinet post as part of the prime minister's next reshuffle, according to multiple sources. Some Tory MPs and aides are dissatisfied with Williamson's performance after a number of missteps during the pandemic. But in an attempt to avoid being axed from the cabinet entirely, sources say he has been telling colleagues that he 'knows where the bodies are' in a veiled threat to Johnson that he would be a dangerous enemy to have on the back benches ship campaign in 2019 and prior to that he served as government chief whip.

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraphEdwardMalnick "The advertising boycott of GB News shows Britain can no longer take basic democratic values for granted, the Culture Secretary has warned.
Writing for The Telegraph, Oliver Dowden said a 'vocal Twitter minority' was targeting the 'free and diverse media' and the 'right to dissent'.
The Cabinet minister pledged: 'We will not stand by and allow that to happen.'
In an escalation of the Government's so-called 'war on woke', Mr Dowden insisted the fledgling centre-Right broadcaster is right to seek to 'empower' viewers who feel that their 'concerns have been unheard'.
His intervention came after several companies withdrew advertising from GB News in its first week on air in the face of a 'stop funding hate' campaign.
Mr Dowden said: 'When he launched the channel, veteran broadcaster Andrew Neil vowed that GB News would not be 'an echo chamber for the metropolitan mindset', and that it would 'empower those who feel their concerns have been unheard'.
'Rightly so. A free media is one that has a diverse range of opinions and voices.'
Mr Dowden identified the protection of journalism and political opinions as 'the grounds of a functioning democracy', adding: 'Sadly, we can no longer take them for granted.
'Across the West, our values of tolerance and freedom of expression, for which previous generations have fought and died, increasingly risk being undermined by a small but vocal minority. For them, these are not absolute, but relative, concepts, ready to be bent to silence dissent from their world view.'
In an interview with The Telegraph, Frank Luntz, the veteran US pollster behind use of 'climate change' instead of 'global warming' said he fears 'capitalism' is becoming a 'bad word' in Britain, and said he is seeking an alternative to the word." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/06/19/exclusive-gb-news-boycott-shows-cant-take-democratic-values/

classic bit of Technological #TheoryInstrumentalism': http://folksonomy.co/?keyword=45687 i.e. that the pandemic is wholly a medical issue (that its effects are located within a social/cultural context).
#NMUKBusinessInternationalTBIMarkLayton "Harjeet Chhokar, commissioning editor for factual at Channel 4, said: 'The high percentage of BAME frontline workers in the NHS who have died from Covid is a shocking stat. And we don't really know why. With Dr Ronx's medical background, they are the perfect person to investigate the reasons behind these shocking statistics but also to tell the stories of those who have lost their lives and the impact it has had on those around them.'" https://tbivision.com/2020/08/24/uks-channel-4-asks-is-covid-racist-in-new-doc/ #NMUKITVChannel4
