I’m gonna explain one more time. For those who say people on benefits are scroungers. My story. I had a partner, we had a beautiful family, we had a good life, he died. Our youngest was 3yr, I couldn’t afford childcare, we were grieving, I was forced onto benefits. Not asking for you to feed my kids… just wanted a helping hand to get on our feet. That’s it. What is society if we don’t help each in times of need? I’m so sick of having to explain trauma over and over. Please find some compassion and understand life can suddenly hit you hard. Have you ever needed help or emergency services? Don’t judge when you don’t know someone’s story.
This is like something out of a Dickensian novel. The peasants lining the streets to cheer on the wealthy for absolutely no reason at all other than that is what has always happened.
The support for Nigel Farage is wild. Racism is well and truly alive in the UK. Cry harder racists.
Oh, here’s a gentle reminder of just who ol’ Nigel really is
Never touching Moonpig again. Do you know how distressing it is that a whole Nigel Farage is on I’m a celeb yet the British public have more smoke for a black woman who acted out of line due to grief rather than a man who has incited racism/Islamophobia his whole life.
This is incredible and should not be lost in all the other news. This person holds
one of the most senior jobs in government and he lied about saying this. He now apologises. 1. Saying it at all is a reflection on what this government think of the rest of this country. 2. Lying about saying it shows a total disregard for parliament and displays the cowardice of all bullies. 3. Then believing you can get away with it by suggesting you called a person not a place a shithole. WTF.
In the past this would end a career in shame - now he will just continue and will probably even run for leadership of the Tories at some point. If that doesn’t illustrate why the Conservatives are never going to fight for ordinary people are deprived areas nothing will.
Today, Macron banned the French people from rallying in support of Palestine.
The French people responded exactly how you might expect.
This, in the last hour.
Weak men like Tate, Fox, etc. contribute to a culture in which a 17 yr old boy stabbed to death a 15 yr old girl for rejecting him. Every rape joke or sexist remark that a man fails to question or problematic podcast follow, directly contributes to violence against women.
The way these men view the legal age of consent as “the youngest person you can have sex with without going to jail” instead of “the age at which teenagers should be legally allowed to explore sex” tells you *absolutely everything* you need to know.
