On Tuesday at the end of the Parliament there was a session of the RNLI Bicentenary and one of the people who contributed was Chris Stephens who is the SNP MP for Glasgow South West and when he began to speak about the RNLI item he stated “It is always good to have some of these debates before recess. I wish all hon. Members, Clerks and everyone else a very good Easter when it comes.” so a few…

Remikra Timeline

After the defeat of General Zeyk, the city of Hetia was in the process of rebuilding, as it was renamed Ligam. Meanwhile the surrounding region was heavily patrolled by the Federal Estates Armed Forces. Within a year, 117 bases, including 57 air bases, were established, and carried out frequent military and air drills as part of reserve training. These operations used large amounts of hubstone energy, raising prices for civilians.

Philip Olington, with an extensive background in spellcrafting, had, during the war, worked for the Federal Estates in helping the construction of the bases. And it was a combination of these skills that led to his discovery.

In April 1243, a heavy thunderstorm caused a landslide near Olington's residence, where he noted the sudden eruption of a large fire. Upon investigation, Olington determined that the fire was started by sparks from a damaged electrical wire igniting a mysterious natural gas deposit. Olington collected and tested this substance, and determined its economic potential. He named it henshale, after George Henn, a long-dead professor known for his mineral research studies. In the days and weeks that followed, Olington theorized that more henshale deposits were bound to exist in the area, and utilized a special drill machine for his own backyard. This hit a rich henshale deposit and triggered an explosion. Although he survived and noted this as an important find, Olington encountered the population of the town of Esterson, who fearfully speculated upon the sound and sight of the incident. The local police department questioned Olington, and subsequently instructed him to obtain a zoning permit from the town before continuing his operations. In response, Olington made important fixes and safeguards to his drilling machinery and developed an effective system for piping the material. In May 1243, he gained approval from the Council of Esterson before installing a system that successfully powered his own home without the use of hubstone energy. By the end of the month, he produced replicas of his drilling machine and piping units, and began selling commercially to other local businesses.

The East Wannonia Conspiracy Trial

And thus, the henshale industry was established.

The Zeyne family, in June, moved from their home in Combria to the Ligamian territory, where they were encouraged by locals to switch to Olington's henshale infrastructure. The Zeynes, however, were wealthy beneficiaries of the hubstone industry, and saw henshale as a business threat. They successfully planted widespread speculation that Philip Olington and his clients were plotting to promote the henshale in order to re-establish East Wannonia.

Such false accusations were brought to the attention of the authorities; and, in September 1243, Philip Olington was put on trial. During this time, an investigation was carried out while Olington was threatened with arrest for treason. Military aircraft implemented numerous flyovers of the region while hundreds of people were questioned and properties searched. However, they found no evidence of an East Wannonian conspiracy. The Federal Court found Philip Olington innocent; and Olington was given allowance to continue henshale operations.

Numerous citizens in the Ligamian territory sided with the Zeynes, who were upset with the court verdict, and filed a petition to establish the region as its own province. In the process, an official House was established in the city of Ligam, where the measure was formally proposed. However, by October 1243, it failed to pass, as those loyal to Olington, fearing the demise of the henshale industry, voiced fierce and relentless opposition.

The Combria-Nintel Proposal

In April 1244, a measure in the Combrian Council in Jestopole was proposed to forward a bill to the Federal Estates Council for the acquisition of large portions of Ligamian territory. The agenda, carried out by prominent figures in the hubstone industry, was to heavily tax and regulate the henshale industry. Citing potential tax revenue, the province of Nintel voiced a bid in the deal. So representatives from both Provincial Councils collaborated and formed a compromise to fairly divide the territory between their jurisdictions. However, the province of Ereautea had also written for a share of the land, prompting the deal to be amended to evenly divide the land between the three Provinces. It was this version of the proposition that reached the Federal Estates Council.

The Establishment of the Province of Gymia

Locals in the Ligamian territory, adamantly against the ramifications of this measure, carried out protests in the Basin District as calls for the establishment of the territory as its own province became a locally bipartisan deal. The House of Ligam passed a measure to designate the territory an official flag, as the territory, itself, was formally named Gymia. Initially, though, neither this proposition, nor the proposition to divide Gymia between Combria, Nintel, and Ereautea had a potential majority vote in the Federal Estates Council, leaving both issues in a state of uncertainty.

However, on 18 April 1244, the Council of Combria passed a bill to raise its sales tax on hubstone batteries, prompting a voice of opposition from Councillor Arnold Stone, who called for Gymia to provide a compromise to gain Council votes. In response, the House of Ligam passed a measure to ban sales taxes on henshale and to grant henshale only to property owners solely for the material extracted from their respective properties. This was what gained enough votes in the Federal Estates Council, who passed the measure on 21 April, establishing the province of Gymia on 1 May 1244.

Boris Johnson's Plan To Lift Covid Rules Torn Apart By Twitter Critics: 'Negligence!'

Boris Johnson will announce the lifting of mandatory Covid self-isolation for positive cases on Monday – but not everyone is on board with this radical new step.

The ‘Living with Covid’ strategy not only means people can continue to work and socialise even if they have the virus, but will limit public access to the free testing kits after it was revealed it cost £2 billion a month for taxpayers on Sunday.

As a cabinet row has briefly delayed the plan, No.10 has been criticising for rushing the plan through just one month before the Covid measures were set to expire anyway.

While the prime minister has claimed that lifting the domestic Covid rules in England will be a “moment of pride” for the nation, others have expressed concerns that this could be outright dangerous.

Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting said: “The government is paralysed by its own chaos and incompetence and the British public are paying the price.

“This shambles cannot continue. What confidence can the public have that the Conservatives are acting in the national interest, when they can’t agree a plan for Covid?”

It’s not just the opposition who have voiced their worries either.

Here’s a roundup of all the most pressing fears over Johnson’s controversial new move:

There’s ‘no sound scientific reasons’ for acting now

#ShowUsTheScience#ShowUsTheScience#ShowUsTheScience Government plans to end restrictions for covid-19 in England. This policy is not evidence-based; no sound scientific reasons have been given. UK scientists, clinicians, advocates, sign our open letter: https://t.co/jjJ8ESnEfO.

— Trisha Greenhalgh (@trishgreenhalgh) February 21, 2022

Today the government will announce the end to all #COVID restrictions, including ending #isolation and free testing in the country. This is a HUGE mistake. We are asking members of the UK science and medical communities, to sign our open letter here: https://t.co/Tq9LruahD9

— Dr Sarah Todd 💙 #TeamGP #StaySafeBeKind (@SarahJTodd) February 21, 2022

It’s a tactic to ‘avoid a leadership challenge’

A&E doctor on @SkyNews says today’s Covid announcement is: “Living with Boris Johnson not living with Covid.” She’s right. It’s a political decision not a scientific decision.

— Bill Esterson (@Bill_Esterson) February 21, 2022

The entirety of public health policy, just a fucking plaything for the prime minister. Our covid posture and timetable dictated by whether it will help him avoid a leadership challenge from his idiot backbenchers.

— Ian Dunt (@IanDunt) February 21, 2022

Today I will be announcing my plan for Pretending Covid Doesn't Exist, based on the scientific advice that it will make me popular with my backbenchers.

PM to unveil ‘living with Covid’ plan, as he needs to keep the distractions up and hadn’t banked on Putin taking this long.

Vulnerable people will be directly affected

My sister has MS. She has been hunkered dry own all winter and just thinking about you it opening up her life again… and then this skin saving Political decision. I don’t even stay with her because I meet too many people do too high risk… now what? https://t.co/TaanRCbZoW

— Deborah Meaden 💙 (@DeborahMeaden) February 21, 2022

Can we be clear? This is not "living with Covid". This will lead directly to the deaths of more immuno-compromised & disabled people. I care for such patients - triple-vaxxed yet dying in ICU in their 40s, 30s. Are their lives really worth nothing?https://t.co/HrjIJGsVLs

— Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) February 19, 2022

Positive cases will still have to go into work if their employers tell them to

“If you feel well [with Covid] you come in” says an employer on #r4today Which means that person will infect others. Who will not necessarily be as lucky. What an extraordinarily stupid and dangerous policy.

— Gina Super-Mild™️ (@Saffiya_Khan1) February 21, 2022

Relying on testing to end isolation would be more effective

We have easy home tests that detect if someone is in the infectious period- why not stick with using these to release people from isolation? People can go back to work & mixing & seeing others knowing they’re not infectious… https://t.co/TVV8pmIX4u

— Prof. Devi Sridhar 🌈 (@devisridhar) February 21, 2022

The new strategy is ‘negligent’

Cancelling Covid self-isolation rules is not freedom, it’s negligence

— Claudia Webbe MP (@ClaudiaWebbe) February 21, 2022

If this is correct, it’s catastrophic for the UK’s ability to ensure adequate Covid surveillance, outbreak management etc in future. To allow significant dismantling of the testing infrastructure built up in last 2 years would be inexcusable negligence given ongoing risks. https://t.co/8kuZOrYEQt

— Nicola Sturgeon (@NicolaSturgeon) February 21, 2022

People are still dying from Covid

Whilst the Prime Minister is bragging about lifting restrictions a month early, we’re struggling to keep up with the number of hearts that need to be drawn on the Covid Memorial Wall. 1/5 https://t.co/BwgmM4G8BP

— Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK (@CovidJusticeUK) February 9, 2022

It will be harder to spot new variants with less testing

So the best way to keep a lookout for future variants is to stop testing. Apparently.

Government must order a judge-led inquiry into treatment of small businesses by RBS - Bill Esterson

Bill Esterson MP, Labour’s Shadow Business and International Trade Minister, responding to the publishing of the Financial Conduct Authority Interim Report into the treatment of small businesses at the Royal Bank of Scotland, said: "The release of the Financial Conduct Authority’s Interim Report is welcome news, but it is now essential the Government orders a judge-led inquiry into the treatment of small businesses by the Royal Bank of Scotland.   “The news of a police investigation last week is also an important step in ensuring the truth is discovered as part of a full and transparent process. Trust between small businesses and our financial institutions needs to be restored because their relationship is key to the success of the UK economy. "The next Labour Government will stand up for small businesses by providing them with access to finance through Regional Investment Banks so we can build an economy that works for the many, not the few.”
