Testament to how acceptable racism has become...

...that Jenrick's Handsworth 'not enough white faces' claim, or Pochin's "to many blacks on TV" claim...

...not worthy of 'incitement to hatred' arrests, let alone expulsion from Reform.

Why has our culture been poisoned so?

We can do this in #Cambridge. #London, #Toronto, and #Vancouver too. It's not a funding issue, but one of political will.

„Trans Meschen müssen Raum nach „biologisches Geschlect“, laut NHS England“
Das britisches Gesundheitssystem will jetzt trans Leute trennen. Trans Frauen (wie ich) werden ins Männer Teil von Krankenhäuser. Diese neue Regel würden Leute töten.

“Trans people should use hospital spaces according to biological sex, NHS England says”
The NHS has introduced segregation for trans people. Trans women like me would be sent to the male wards. These rules will kill people.

Robert Jenrick’s approach to this #r4today interview seems to be “Reform might be racist, but the most important thing to understand here is that there are racists in my old party as well, and there are paedophiles in the BBC”, which is… a tactic… of sorts.

Well, it makes as much sense as Brexit, so why not.

(don't you dare say 'common sense')

I guess the only way to look at this is to judge the 50M by the ONE TRILLION POUNDS already wasted - burnt to ashes - thrown down the toilet by Brexit.

Still, a decade later, and it's costing more than ever to maintain Brexit.

Common sense can't be that hard, surely?

Australia - political cycle

A change of government rarely brings fundamental change in power and political agendas. The main change is that supporters become critics and vice versa. The chants remain the same but with different voices.

Saw this posted elsewhere. The graph shows the number of arrests under terrorism legislation since 2002. Note the huge spike (a 1,500% increase) which is basically all down to peaceful #PalestineAction protestors.

What a grotesque waste of police time and public resources.

The line was blurry.
Because in 2016, no one knew *for certain* what Brexit would do.
Now, a decade later, we certainly do know.

So the line is no longer in the same place.
For those who are still peddling "Brexit is good", the line has moved:

Into harming us all territory.

This is what comes of handing over your nation’s defence communications to a private contractor running his own personal megalomaniacal agenda.
