To have inflicted that much damage on our country and to be enabled to still strut around, insisting on keeping us trapped in their dead-end of prejudice and failure… well, it’s beyond forgiveness… and sanity.
So, yes. Fuck that. Fuck them.
And cheers to the resistance🥂

She's so close to being iconic but in a way that means she's also the furthest possible thing from being iconic. She's a smear of porridge on a beige wall.
Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Reform UK have repeatedly said that Kent is their "flagship" council and "the shop window" for how they intend to run things.
When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA

And if solar parks are built near villages or towns, then offer the people who are potentially affected free electricity to offset their concerns.
Solar panels are not nuclear power stations. They can be removed with little environmental impact and can actually benefit biodiversity.

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any gov’t to say who those rights should & should not apply to. If that happens than none of us has rights, just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.
