Arrested for holding a sign. A SIGN.
A sign that opposes GENOCIDE.
No one was hurt by holding a sign. No damages were caused by holding a sign.
But Reform rioters are let off? Get a grip, Labour.

Farage’s past racist comments are revealing - but ultimately become secondary to the larger issue:
The party he's built from the ground up to incubate rotten apples.

Reform UK Doesn’t Just Have a Racism Problem - It Has a Racism Infrastructure
Why focusing on Farage’s past misses how racism is incentivised, normalised and repeatedly rewarded in the present

I’m sure the “protect our women and girls” brigade will have plenty to say about this👍🏼

We're keen to challenge the predicate to the case brought by the (revoltingly homophobic) Christian Institute: that upholding the rights of those protected by the Equality Act is a contestable and political stance. So, thanks, I guess to them.
Supporting LGBT+ rights is political in a way that breaches the civil service code and opposing them is not political in a way that precludes charitable status is a... complex position to hold, although one managed by former LGBA hate group with charitable status trustee Kathleen Stock.

It was hard to convince Americans torture is wrong as a moral principle during Bush's term, and that was with the debate about whether torture makes us safer. I'm afraid for a portion of Trump's base, that calculation matters less. Idea of torturing undocumented immigrants may even bring pleasure.

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates).
She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger.
She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked.

Few facts about the Palestine Action protesters on Hunger Strike
1. They never attacked anyone with sledgehammers (That was a different group)
2. They didn't commit aggravated burglary, they didn't attack anyone, they didn't even steal anything
3. They shouldn't be in jail

I really think this borders on disinformation. Someone actively thought: "NAH. Too positive. Let's feed the discord angle."
Incredible. This morning on the BBC site story was titled "Puppy farm ban promised in plans to improve animal welfare" with puppy pic up top. Later changed to "Hen cages and pig crates face ban" and gives top focus to policy's opponents. The puppy/RSPCA angle is 20 paragraphs in, as "meanwhile". ~AA
