As a gay man, living in a northern town now led by a Reform council…
One of the first things our new Reform council leader did was order all pride flags removed. We have lots of serious issues in our town. Grooming gangs. Fly tipping. Mass poverty and decline. Yet, removing our pride flags was the thing the new leader deemed to be of greatest importance.
Other Reform-led councils have done the same and also cancelled council funding contributions for pride events - at the same time as maintaining event funding for other minority groups. So we’re singled out and it’s like they want pit us all against each other. Pride events need funding from several sources to keep going. Pulling the plug on one pot of funding can collapse the whole event.
These councils then say it’s cos “we don’t object to pride, we just don’t think taxpayers should have to pay for it”. Newflash: They don’t. The funding comes from various places. The councils contribute a portion. LGBT people are also council taxpayers. Many of our allies also attend these events…it’s not just for LGBT. Anyone is welcome.
Do these gays not know that Nigel Farage has openly on several occasions voiced his opposition to gay marriage?
Furthermore, he has appointed James Orr as his senior advisor and Head of Policy (James also opposes gay marriage). Farage has frequently rubbed shoulders with several high profile US politicians that oppose gay marriage and believe that homosexuality should be criminalised (Roy Moore, Steve Bannon, JD Vance, etc). He’s also praised President Trump for his many anti-LGBT positions and his anti-trans military policy.
Now Farage can have those views and whatever policies he wants, free speech and democracy etc.
But here they’re making out Reform is all super gay friendly when it clearly is not. When their leader hangs out with some of the biggest homophobes on the planet and publicly opposes our (well fought for) right to get married.
I suspect and hope that these gays that are apparently flocking to Reform will be leaving in droves once they realise this party is actively working against them.

Both! i think this is going to be an incredible game. I cant believe some are complaining already. Nintendo wouldn’t have made this iconic top rated classic if they weren’t going to do it justice. Wrecking this masterpiece would be very bad for the company. We’ve only seen Link waking up…thats a tiny scene they’ve shown us nothing really lol

Ocarina of Time is the best Zelda game ever and all you young people who never understood this will finally understand without ever having to blow into a cartridge
MMT is attacked so aggressively because it threatens the propaganda that protects power.
For decades, people have been told:
“There is no money.”
“Be realistic.”
“The markets won’t allow it.”
“Taxpayers can’t afford it.”
MMT pulls at that thread. (1/8)
Revelation + DLC? YES PLEASE
BRING IT ON 👍😁🎮
They want demand let’s give em it lol (politely!) 🙂
“Ain’t no getting offa this train we’re on!” 🚂

Naoki Hamaguchi says they will consider FF7 Revelation DLC if there is a significant demand and requests from players for it after release!
He says including spin-off games released so far, they are open to consider ways to address requests for more details and exploring parts that haven't been depicted yet.

Starmer announced a new DWP AI assistant - and it's immediately been proven to be terrible and not fit for purpose, just like the DWP

@KPunchy Same! one of my first RPG’s before I got into FF. That game and the music…on top of all the Revelation hype. Yeah I’m so so buzzing right now. Feel like I’m in a dream! Probably not gonna sleep again tonight 😁
@TylorHepnerArt I’m honestly so shocked at this announcement I didn’t believe any of the rumours. My RPG life started with Secret of Mana, Zelda OOT and then I got into FF. Always wished for an Ocarina reboot. This is another dream coming true! 😁🎮
OMFG I can’t cope with this announcement on top of all the FF Revelation stuff! This game was one of the first RPG’s I ever played. I will go out and buy a switch now just for this game lol #Zelda#NintendoDirect

Mick Lynch on Reform & Restore ‘they are all as despicable as each other to me & working class people should turn away from the hatred they spread … you believe in isolating people & taking advantage of poverty so you can divide them & make your friends even richer.’

All those people who say they care about protecting children never talk about the disproportionately high levels of self harm and suicide amongst gay and gender non conforming young people. It was the story when I was a kid and it’s the story today - and still largely ignored. RIP Leyton. https://t.co/f2NO3tiYny
@SandraDunn1955@Eyeswideopen69 This is so messed up. Voluntary?! 🧐 I had to have a DBS to do voluntary work in my local community centre. But you can have a job influencing government without one. We are not a serious country at all 🤣
