So any sentence containing 14 words - regardless of which words are used - are a White Supremist message?
eg "Stats for Lefties need to lay off the coke and get a proper night's sleep"

It's (slagging off the centre-left as fascists, based on whatever the fuck you feel like) also proven, time and time again, to be totally ineffective as a tactic. Plus ca change.

Jesus Christ. Is this part of a pattern of behavior?

Unfortunately, yes, I remember when they were convinced that Starmer was going to conscript people and send them to Ukraine. For someone so concerned about Nazis, I noticed that Stats has no problem with posting on X despite it being owned by Musk.

This chap's been around for a while online. The concept of an overall budget seems to be beyond him. It's going up, a lot. But "Wes Streeting's NHS cuts".

Monbiot's also got involved, I see, despite having no experience or special knowledge of health. Doubtless he'll get a load of articles out of how the admin is bad at such and such a hospital because "Wes Streeting" sacked the admin people.
18,000 sounds a lot, but NHS England employ 13,500. That's also a lot for something that didn't exist until Andrew Lansley made it up. Lots of people BTL seem to think these are people who are doing admin in hospitals that saves the time of medical staff. Do they know what NHS England is?

I am old enough to remember when NHS England was opposed by the left.

I wonder if some of them actually know Andrew Lansley invented it, and that isn't the nice people on the desk in the hospital who sort out their appointments.
It's a one way bet for Monbiot, who'll doubtless find stories about bad admin (as you can now), and that'll be "look how right I was". The cost savings won't even be acknowledged. (I am aware I am spectacularly down on Monbiot, after that stuff where he scared readers with unregulated dangerous chemicals).
