A year ago today, Georgians flooded the streets after Georgian Dream said it would suspend EU accession. The people haven’t stopped since — protests have taken place every day in 8+ cities.
Tonight, Tbilisi is packed with protesters marching toward Parliament.

I hate to pull the immigrant card, but as an immigrant, it feels awful when elected MPs say I ‘need to go home’ and propose stripping me and all other immigrants of all our legal rights to live here. No, anywhere immigrants move is their home. The UK is my home.

Imagine the outcry if the bodies of Israeli hostages had signs of torture, executions & handcuffing. It would be on the front page of every newspaper & leading every news bulletin
But its Palestinian bodies handed over by Israel that have these signs. So our media doesn't care

In the UK, we have a government who will complain about peaceful protests taking up valuable police resources while simultaneously complaining that the police shouldn't ban far right football hooligans with a history of violence and disruption from attending a match.
