@sainsburysuk.bsky.social just why?

#AI is biased. Yet without regulation we're feeding it into our daily lives.

What safeguards & protection will you be implementing to ensure said biases don't negatively effect marginalised communities?

So will the #MetPolice now accept that it remains systemically and institutionally racist?

And stop gaslighting the many victims who have had to endure their bigotry and targeted violence?

Ask any British 'expat' how well they speak the language they live and work in?

Can they speak and write in Thai? Or Twi? Or Spanish?

Do they know *ANY* of the country's traditions or history?

Free speech for them. 1984 for the rest.

Where sharing a quote that Trump ACTUALLY SAID will get you arrested and given a bond so ridiculous it beggars belief 🤦🏿‍♀️

Free speech....Yehhh! Great example, US...

A new law could give millions of us better rights at work, but corporate lobbyists & politicians are trying to gut it. Tell the Government: protect workers, not profits!
you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/uk...

UK Government: Keep your promise to protect workers

Zero hours contracts, unfair ‘fire and rehire’, waiting months or even years to be able to access benefits – the world of work in our country is weighted against actual workers. It’s billionaire bosse...

I am shocked and appalled by the attack on a synagogue in Manchester on the holiest day for the Jewish community.

My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones and everyone affected.

Just showing how weak and performative they are.

The right see it as too little too late.

And the rest of us with sense 😒 see it as an affront to ALL Labour supposedly stood for.

Enabling the far right never works out well for anyone. Would've thought Labour would've known that...😬

Nigel Farage isn't racist and we've started construction on a house on a cloud 🙄

BBC again encourages hate and uses one-off cases to rage bait.

Then, it wonders why migrants and POCs are scared or that the far right are gaining dangerous momentum 🙄

When will the media in this country realise THEY are contributing to the division and scaremongering??

Why is the BBC giving this racist, xenophobic, bigot airtime??

BBC, is this neutrality?? Giving a minor party constant prime press??

Then you wonder why the far right has been emboldened or why POCs are increasingly being targeted??

Our consistent kissing up to #DonaldTrump is 🤢

An autocrat who spreads hate, enables genocide, and relishes bigotry.

But who cares?! Not Keir 🤪 That's for sure.

Let's just bend over backwards and give him the keys to Buckingham Palace while we're at it🥰

Too true 😮‍💨

The British Empire is further celebrated as being the guiding light that enabled countries to form.

Schools are told not to focus so much on teaching only on 'how bad' slavery and colonialism were...

Silence truly is violence.

Border Force is further militarised.

Migrants are arbitrarily detained and deported.

The army is sent in to 'protect' communities.

British media is casually and consistently platforming racists & xenophobes.

Condemning a genocide can get you arrested.

We have to ask ourselves:

If we don't speak out, then when?

'Making a statement is too political'

One of the largest social media platforms is run by an alleged white supremacist.

Hundreds of thousands of far-right supporters (some with kids!) marched on the capital.

We must ALL play our part to stop this rise of the far right and movement towards fascism.

Our country is unwell.

And the longer our gov. enables hate and tries to justify xenophobia and racism... The stronger the far right becomes.

'Tommy Robinson New Era' is trending. Keir Starmer's government MUST take this seriously.
