1/ A thread for all parents and caregivers about the dangers of mass testing and the continued neglect of young people in this crisis.

2/ Young people have been neglected and they are suffering see https://t.co/btxlm8CSZG for more information.
3/ The main reason for https://t.co/btxlm8CSZG (and an Open Letter I organised to Gavin Williamson in the summer to urge him to open schools) is to urge the government to take children into account when making decisions.
4/ Government are still not doing this – see recent articles from me https://t.co/aQNO9I2KGE
https://t.co/h0U68Hv20x
5/ So, we parents must protect our children. The single biggest thing we can do to stop this crisis is to refuse mass testing which is driving damaging restrictive policies: https://t.co/NNGjKID1WL
6/ Leading academics including @deeksj @angelaraffle @AllysonPollock urge the government to stop this unethical practice which is not a test for infectiousness. https://t.co/CaieJ7nqK8
7/ For more information on the serious pitfalls of testing see Dr Clare Craig’s work who is a pathologist (the people that do the testing) https://t.co/uSvXua1JDR
8/ Recent findings from university mass testing showed no covid-19 to be found anywhere – the small number of positive tests detected were found to be false positives when double checked. (Saying the test was positive, when, in fact it was not.)
9/ The testing, which is inaccurate and misleading, is keeping society in damaging lockdowns and tiers which are not evidence-based and cause enormous damage to other health conditions (e.g. cancer), mental health and the economy.
10/ See https://t.co/LqF1Ggs16C and https://t.co/fgo0G9JH9s for damage of lockdowns data.
11/ At least excess deaths 21,000 in the UK were caused by lockdown the first English lockdown, not covid-19. https://t.co/lx38DqwsAP
12/ Recent global data shows that keeping schools open, not closing them, reduces covid-19 transmission, yet schools are using tests to shut down entire year groups, even large parts of schools. https://t.co/Q3R11HJmuE https://t.co/boYtNImeYc
13/ Our children will bear the brunt of the economic fall out for years to come. All for a virus with a 99.97% recovery rate and average age of death of 82 years.
14/ You won’t hear these statistics much in the main stream media because Ofcom have been censoring debate on covid-19 policies.
15/ I am aware of course that people have lost loved ones to covid-19 and this is, of course, very sad but to focus on one health issue at the expense of all others is folly and will have enormous repercussions for our children.
16/ A new website https://t.co/Ah0ZT0SP6Q is now bringing LEGAL JUSTICE to UK citizens for the devastating harm caused by lockdowns to families and businesses.
17/ This is long but the stakes for our children are very high. I am more than happy to discuss any of these issues. Please pass this message on to any parent/caregiver you feel needs to hear this. End.

Hi @EdinburghUni @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @RJHilsenrath @trussliz @GEOgovuk

The DIVERSITY INFORMATION section in yr job application mentions 'legal equality duties'. You then ask "What is your gender identity?" with options

Female
Male
Non-binary
Not-listed
Other

1/13


'Gender identity' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

https://t.co/qisFhCiV1u

2/13


Sex is the protected characteristic and the only two possible options for sex are 'Female' and 'Male' as defined in the Act and consistent with biology - 'non-binary' and 'other' are not valid options.

https://t.co/CEJ0gkr6nF

'Gender identity' is not a synonym for sex.

3/13


You then ask "Does your gender identity match your sex registered at birth?"

4/13


Again, 'gender identity' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]
