Carney...
First thing that springs to mind is his complicity in perpetrating a very British genocide, over 130,000 people culled most cruel, with not just media silence, but media egging on the hate to excuse it with lies, until Francesca Martinez broke the media silence on what was going on, in 2019, with what was dubbed the TV moment of the year, on question time... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvRz8HrEVKY
"over 130,000"'s a numbing statistic that hides the reality. Calum's List highlights just some of the stories. http://calumslist.org/ | https://dpac.uk.net/tag/calums-list/ | https://web.archive.org/web/20260223010439/http://calumslist.org/
... It could not have happened without Carney's complicity.
Cameron, Clegg, Osborne, Carney. Blood on their hands. People tend look only at the politicians, if at all. Well he's a politician now too, not just a banker, at least in this phase of his in-and-out of the revolving door. He's due scrutiny, and more.
Real monsters, there are.
What is Calum's List about? Google's AI suggested it's a list and site maintained to commemorate people who died due to welfare cuts?
I tried reading the sites you linked, but they seem to be blogs that don't give a good overview
EDIT: Ah, the website confirms it. I didn't see it at first due to its garish design choices. Seems like they say it's 60 people though
it started as just calum's story, then grew to a dozen more stories, then grew to 60, before they had to stop.
it kept happening to more and more people as the decade progressed.
Abused by the assessment process, cut off like an injust witch hunt, that if you lived, you didn't need the support they cut off, and if you died, you needed the support, but don't any more, and so it's win-win to them in their totalitarian lust to meet quotas of culling the hated. Denied access to necessities to survive, cut off by those with a duty of care for you, intentionally. No money for heating, for food, for medicines & therapies, for anything. Perishing by starving, freezing, succumbing to ailments. Or even just from the PTSD & CPTSD & stress brought on from the mistreatment from the system there to provide for your welfare.
Read those 60 stories. Scale that up to >130,000, and see that >130,000's not just a number.
Even to read just one... To get some idea what's been happening.
