This is an excellent article from Irish online news site The Journal. It looks at how far right groups, including Gutter Critters, falsely accuse LGBT+ ppl of being child abusers thejournal.ie/readme/lgbtq-i…

The proportion of working-class actors, musicians and writers has shrunk by half since the 1970s, new research shows. 16.4% of creative workers born between 1953 and 1962 had a working-class background. Four decades later, that figure stands at just 7.9%. theguardian.com/culture/2022/d…

Dear @RishiSunak Please put politics aside. Think if it were your wife or one of your girls lying in an ambulance or hospital corridor with no one able to attend to them. Show your humanity and call a state of emergency and urgent COBRA meeting

This is what the transphobic moral panic over toilets gets you: not safety for women, but women who don't fit feminine stereotypes being harassed and made to feel unsafe. itv.com/news/central/2…

"The nature of prejudice is to seek out the extreme and the hypothetical and use it to tar an entire minority in order to lay the foundations for discrimination." Here's my speech on the anti-trans moral panic at the @PinkNews awards

A neglected problem in Britain is that the whole political class hates everybody in the country and is largely indifferent to whether they starve or freeze to death

While the UK elite wrings its hands over the embarrassment of lives lost in the Channel, the truth is suppressed. The vast majority of refugees seeking safety in Europe come from countries invaded and devastated by the West -- Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya. "Our" holocaust.

The way famous working-class women are treated by the U.K. media is very interesting. It seems women from certain backgrounds are fair game for misogynistic treatment that you won’t see aimed at those of middle-class backgrounds. Kerry Katona, Charlotte Church, Sheridan Smith etc

Anyway, this is the moment for the UK to offer the Republic of Ireland five million doses of vaccine. Not for trolling purposes but because it would be the neighbourly thing to do.

I was sexually assaulted by Donald J Trump when I was 16. I kicked him in the balls, hard. 45 @GOP Senators are afraid of #DJT I had bigger balls at 16 than they do as "adults" now. He lost fairly. He incited an insurrection. #GrowSomeBallsGOP

Robert Burns and Maya Angelou shared a love of literature, liberty and equality. Dick Gaughan performs Scotland's other national anthem 'Scots Wha Hae' for the American poet/civil rights activist. #BurnsNight2021 #Scotland

Again, ordinary people are being blamed for systemic government failure. Yes, littering is rubbish. But without a concerted government information campaign, the habit of treating the living planet like a dustbin, encouraged by consumerism, will continue. theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/a…

Our petition to stop the criminalisation of trespass has passed 100,000 signatures - so MPs in Parliament will debate it! THANKYOU EVERYONE! Next step: ensuring the voices of Travellers, protestors, ramblers, kayakers & everyone who'd be impacted by this are heard in the debate.

The UK Government's exam results fiasco is robbing hard-working students of their futures. It must urgently U-turn on its decision. Agree? Add your name to our petition 👇

3/3 Would any other ethnic minority be rejected and lied to because of their race, ethnicity or background? What does your policy say about this type of treatment? How can this be justified to not serve us? It's illegal discriminatory behaviour aimed at an ethnic minority in 2020

Young people really shouldn’t worry about their exam grades, I never took any, didn’t stop me from doing a low paid highly stressful job working for people who treat you like a slave while trying to knock your price down even though your already doing the work for peanuts.😉
