Pleased to see Big Pharma finally put in the frame in the blood scandal. @samroddick is totally right: “I think it should be the corporations that pay. It should be a really high level. It needs to hurt and it needs to hurt the right people.” theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

This was a joy to make with @maryportas & @samroddick The remarkable life of Anita Roddick who turned a small Brighton store into a global empire - while pioneering an ethical & eco-friendly way of doing business that was way ahead of its time #greatlives bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

@BRAINCURES @jim_reed @TheBodyShopUK she was officially recognised as one of the victims - was a part of a collective law suit - donated the money to hep c foundation - one of the hidden reasons for selling the body shop was because of her decreasing health - she wanted to give all her money away before she died

@jim_reed @TheBodyShopUK founder Anita Roddick died in 2007 of a brain haemorrhage - a rare complication of hepatitis C, which she said she had contracted after being given a contaminated transfusion while giving birth to her daughter in 1971 #InfectedBloodInquiry bbc.co.uk/news/health-62…

🧵Infected blood scandal: Calls for Hillsborough law to stop future NHS cover-ups as £10 billion compensation unveiled. @AndyBurnhamGM said such a law is the only way to break the cycle that has led to Whitehall cover-ups including the Post Office scandal independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Corporations should compensate victims of the infected blood scandal, says @samroddick Sam's mother Anita - founder of The Body Shop - died from Hep C in 2007 after infected blood transfusion. #InfectedBlood #Scandal #Inquiry #KayBurley FC

“This chap got his wife and sister to call me the day before he died. They told me that he wanted me to know we should never give up the fight.” It is going to be a “momentous week” as the government “finally” respond to the infected blood inquiry, says @CazjWheeler.

'This is a collective injustice' Samantha Roddick spoke to #BBCBreakfast about the infected blood scandal after her mother Dame Anita Roddick - founder of the Body Shop - was among thousands of people given a contaminated transfusion while giving birth in 1971 bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c6…

@BBCBreakfast Sam Roddick Putting it out there, Corps get away with murder.. #blood

“Corporate crime and violence has to be accountable in the same way civil society is accountable for their crimes.” ~ Sam Roddick

love this … often those who believe they are practicing new ways of being and new ways of doing are so deeply conditioned by what is .. they are unwittingly just creating the same system.. we are so blind to what we dont know…

@NimkoAli they is so much to dig into this - i would love to have deeper convo about this

The Kardashians are now using black woman as their surrogates and trying to tell us that is empowering, while they sue and slut shame other black women whose work they feed off. That family is beyond toxic and the embodiment of “Get out”.

Brazil’s Amazon has seen more forest fires so far this year than in all of 2021. 75,592 fires were detected from January 1 to September 18. The situation is terrible & violence against traditional communities has aggravated in the last years aljazeera.com/news/2022/9/19…

@JayneEngle i find it interesting that the issue of forced migration is coinciding with the last forced settlement of nomadic peoples. something needs to be written about the comparison of the two which are deeply connected ..

Crazy that transnational, natl & city governments & everyone haven’t been talking more about #ClimateMigration. When vast numbers will face the choice to move or to die, it’s horrific to ignore. #Canada—it’s imperative to systemically address #Housing crisis accounting for this

Damning report on carbon capture technology: as a solution to tackling catastrophic rising emissions, plans based on carbon capture and storage 'overstate and underperform'. theguardian.com/environment/20…

@GeorgeMonbiot i dont think your ‘a hired for industry pr journalist’,though there are many like jon entine who went after my mum when she challenged the beauty industry. Your a half an argument man - educated on the diverse depth of the problems but half baked on your mass mono-solutions.

Perhaps you think I'm hiding something? If so, I would be happy to open my books to a forensic auditor, if someone wants to hire one.

Following the "Monbiot is Bill Gates's stooge" conspiracy theories, now it's "Monbiot's secret millions". Well, you can see for yourself. I keep a public account of my income and assets. I think I'm the world's only full-time journalist who does so. monbiot.com/registry-of-in…

@vickihird the problem with @GeorgeMonbiot is he understands the depths problems but he has an industrial single approach to soultions - he aligns himself with biodiversity within nature but has no social justice understanding or need of micro diversity within how we change the system.

Organic & pasture fed is far, far better than factory farmed. I get George's point on land and climate but also know that meat, but far less, will still be consumed & it should not be from abused, stressed, antibiotic filled, grain-fed, over bred, animals theguardian.com/environment/20…

#AlbertWoodfox was my friend and hero-i am heartbroken-i just cant see how the world can be a better place without him-he had many lives which formed a formidable remarkable man-while the authorities tried to strip him of his humanity-his humanity outshone us all

Good to see ⁦@CPRE⁩ backing the need for a land use framework The built environment, however, is already governed by planning - whereas agriculture and forestry are explicitly excluded from the planning system. That’s why we need a land use framework theguardian.com/environment/20…

A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened
