Govt: “Britons! Be slim & healthy like Europeans!”

Britons: “Great! Can we have Euro-style shorter working hours & commutes so we have time & energy to cook properly & exercise, & Euro-style wage & social security protection so we can afford to?”

Govt: “no not like that”

I never ask but this is the last straw. Please help if you can, I have retweeted some links to donate to help Lebanon. There are thousands of people who are affected by the explosion and its aftermath and no resources at all. Your solidarity makes a difference.

A. Sivanandan, 1982:

"I don't care about whether the police officer or the immigration officer is racist.

I want the policeman punished for his racism. I want the immigration officer's laws changed.

But don't ask me to give you Racism Awareness Training."

Thank you to everyone who has been encouraging people to donate to local, abolitionist organizations like ours. We’ve been quiet online but very active in our community. This isn’t a thought piece, we just wanted to share a brief update on what we’ve been up to+

We clap for the immigrants who are on our frontline with one hand and slap them round the face with the other. I suspect this is what Priti was like at school. And I bet she eats chapatti with a knife and fork.

i did not enter law school a prison abolitionist. i entered law school like "send those killer cops to jail" and graduated like "what cops?" "what jails?" i am so grateful to movement lawyers and organizers who pushed my analysis

On Tuesday the entire workforce of both Guys and St Thomas's hospitals, two of London's biggest hospitals, will walkout en-masse (emergency cover will be in place) and hold a 30 min rally for action to secure the PPE and proper testing they desperately need.

The NHS isn't a charity??? We all lost our jobs and there's not enough PPE or hospital beds but you want me and my mates to donate £5???????

Using RICHARD BRANSON's platform???????????????!!!!!!!
