(The article describes how ULEZ non compliant vans are being forwarded to Ukraine for medical and humanitarian purposes.)
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I am reading Glen Diesen's book on the origin of the Ukraine war which describes in forensic details all the ways that the West has deliberately provoked Russia over the years, and then deliberately stopped negotiations with Russia when the invasion had started. Many you will be aware of, but there are countless others that I didn't't know, it is an extensive catalogue of shame and murderous cynicism. You may see Glen Diesen at times on The Duran. I am sure all these charitable workers are good people but the sheer culpable naivety - they are, ,like everyone else, being abused and manipulated.
The report on the tainted blood scandal spells out in forensic detail the capacity of the state to lie, obfuscate, confuse, cover up, act incompetently and act actually cruelly and criminally, not just over one government, but over successive governments for forty years - the capacity of the "state" itself to sustain its own narratives and fail the population it's supposed to be looking after. The Guardian's front page doesn't even mention the Sir Brian Langstaff report, except near the bottom of the front page, John Crace has an article.
Perhaps in forty year times, if we are still alive and not incinerated in a nuclear war, or the world has heated up to such a degree that civilisation has collapsed, there may be a similar report about the UK's role in the Ukraine war, and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and the destruction of its country. The narrative is not dissimilar. The state is the thing. Its as if the "state" has its own AI which subsumes every other consideration .
