Care work is not a low skilled job. It's simply under-paid and under-recognised.

Stop this nonsense and start recognising those who look after our most vulnerable, whereever they come from.

On behalf of us sane people - thankyou to all overseas care workers

RT if you agree

A soldier, a nurse, a lorry driver, a builder, a baker… these are just some of the men accused of the rape and assault of Gisèle Pelicot. By labelling rapists as “monsters,” we actively distance them from ordinary men, ignoring the reality that sexual violence against women is a deliberate choice made by countless men who walk all parts of our society.

Such labels prevent us from confronting the truth this trial now holds up to the world: that many men walk freely in our communities, appearing trusted and safe, yet actively choose to commit acts of violence against women and girls…

Many of the men accused in this trial have attempted to normalise their acts of sexual violence by framing their behaviour as a misunderstanding of consent, and even a reaction to personal struggles. These excuses do not mitigate their actions. Some of the men conceded they ‘should have left’ when they saw Gisèle Pelicot was unconscious, whilst others have been more explicit in their views towards women earlier in life, “I had a hatred towards women.”

This normalisation by these men of their violent behaviours creates a disturbing disparity, minimising the seriousness of their crimes and shifting focus away from the harm of the victim. One of the men accused went as far to state he was ‘was simply following her husband’s instructions,’ going as far to directly tell Gisèle Pelicot in court:

“It’s not me you should be angry with, it’s your husband,”

This is an abhorrent case. Yet, it is an incredible survivor, Gisèle Pelicot, who in choosing to waive her anonymity now holds these ‘ordinary’ men up to the world, to show the full extent of the crimes. To stare down that the men who committed these acts were characters who occupied the community in her life, even ones she unwittingly greeted in her everyday life:

“I saw him now and then in the bakery; I would say hello. I never thought he’d come and rape me,”
- Gisèle Pelicot

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.

I think this is a national scandal.

Please RT if you do too 🙏

It’s time for Labour to remember its roots and reinstate the right to peaceful protest.

I now want to look in more detail at Jenrick's nasty propaganda video.
It starts with a few examples of cases to make people angry. But those examples are in fact irrelevant to the case he is trying to make.

Jenrick has been an Immigration minister. He must know that the main problem with illegal or irregular migration is that when a person comes here and claims asylum, they may get it as a bona fide refugee in which case they can stay. That has nothing to do with the ECHR. It is a consequence of our domestic law and the Refugee Convention. He makes no suggestion we should leave it.
For those whose application is refused the main problem is that it is very difficult to return them to their countries of origin which will often not co-operate particularly if documents have been destroyed.
So leaving the ECHR will have minimal impact on the problem he claims to be addressing.

Robert Gros made £27m selling useless gowns via the VIP PPE Lane, of course he never paid back a penny, he bought 2 mansions instead.

RT and see if we can make him as famous as Michelle Mone.

13O+ Covid contracts worth £15Bn considered “of concern” by Transparency International
£4Bn went to companies linked to the Tory Party
Dozens of companies were less than 100 days old when receiving your money

Calling it a scandal doesn’t do it justice
Calling it criminal does

If you’re on the fence about women, some elderly or disabled, being able to request female only carers, consider that 90 men thought it would be fine to rape an unconscious woman in her sixties. Only 3 men declined to rape her and none of them reported the rapes to the police.

There's been lots of chatter in the mainstream media, and from certain MPs, in the last few days about trade unions.
So, here's a reminder of exactly why working people need a voice.

How is it a 15 year old Afghan lad could find the network and we couldn't? How is it that Lewis Goodall found them on newsagents, but we can't. Perhaps if we treated those arriving with more than just a hammer of hatred we'd get intel out of them that would help.
