I am standing outside @NHSEngland Wellington House. I used to work here. I lost my job because I whistleblew. @AmandaPritchard talks about staff reporting sexual harassment yet has never answered any of my emails. I am now unemployed. He’s nursing children in London
Will we ever know the names & stories of 118,000+ people killed by Israel in Gaza?
Or the people burned alive after Israeli strikes on Al Aqsa Hospital, where displaced Palestinians sheltered?
The UK is complicit in these war crimes. End ALL arms sales & diplomatic support NOW.
I finally watched Defiance: Fighting the far right on @Channel4, I learnt loads. I am so glad that this important history has been documented on film. History helps you see connections, like the repetiton of history e.g. police still often refusing to call racist attacks racist.
I'd recommend everyone to watch Defiance right now. It's a Channel 4 documentary detailing the racism British Asian communities faced in the 70's/80s. The first episode looks at the rise of the far right and the death of an Asian boy in Southall https://t.co/J8n2jVufUu

Here's a fact. Adults who spent time in care as children between 1971 and 2001 were 70% more likely to die prematurely compared to those who did not. The risk of premature death for care leavers has risen sharply, from 40% in 1971 to 360% by 2011, and continues to be a concern in 2024. Additionally, care leavers face a higher risk of unnatural deaths, including suicide, violence, and accidents. As a society how do we allow this? #FactsMatter children in care are still children.
Musharrat is not antisemitic. If you observe her catalogue of work, it is all aimed about the complete opposite. She aims for equity and education at a great personal cost. Please take time to observe Musharrat's equitable body of work before critiquing her.
New York City: Times Square and UN Rally Ignites the Fight for Bangladeshi Hindus
New York City erupted in a powerful display of solidarity as thousands gathered in Times Square and outside the United Nations to confront the horrifying atrocities faced by Bangladeshi Hindus.
(I love this girl's fire - YES - "We want justice, Stop killing Hindus!)
American flags waved high, and signs bearing the brutal truth of Hindus being slaughtered, hunted, raped, and having their homes, temples, and businesses incinerated filled the streets.
These peaceful yet determined crowds demanded one thing: an end to the Jihadi carnage that has targeted Bangladeshi Hindus and other non-Muslims with relentless brutality.
But the rally was marked by a glaring absence. Where were the so-called "peaceful" Muslims? Where were the Islamic groups in America, who so often preach about tolerance and peace, to stand against this barbaric slaughter committed by their fellow Muslims?
Not a single Islamic voice was raised in condemnation, not a single hand extended in solidarity with the persecuted Hindus. The silence was deafening.
And what of the media, those self-proclaimed watchdogs of justice and truth? Where were they as New Yorkers rallied for a cause that deserves the world’s attention? Nowhere to be found.
Instead, they were busy glorifying pro-Hamas protesters, who march through the city streets every week calling for the extermination of Israel and Jews.
The media's selective outrage is another betrayal, once again spitting in the face of those who stand against real, blood-soaked Islamic jihad.
When Hindus are massacred, the so-called defenders of peace are nowhere to be seen. Their silence is complicity. Their absence is consent. And the world must no longer turn a blind eye to the Islamic slaughter that is being ignored by those who claim to stand for justice.
There needs to be much more curiosity & understanding of what "non engagement" actually is. Is it that the person genuinely doesn't want mental health services involved, or is it that mental health services are inaccessible to them..? Are they struggling to get to appointments 1/

@LecturerMish founded @BAMEOTUK and applied pressure until we all took notice! She’s built community and given so much of herself for all of us that have been purposely excluded and harmed. Thank you, sis! 🙏🏾

We were born here.
We were raised here.
We were educated here.
We work & contribute to society & it’s welfare here.
We pay our taxes here.
We care for you when you are sick here.
We care for your elderly when they have nowhere else to care for them here.
Yet you still have the audacity to tell us we don’t belong.

Twice I reminded people at the firm I worked for in Sydney when they were discussing immigration, that I was an immigrant, x2 I was told
- you’re not
- well obviously don’t mean you
Blonde hair blue eyes white skin - that’s why they didn’t mean me. It’s not about immigration
I would be interested to know if employers have reached out to their Black & Brown staff in the midst of what is going on?
To check in to see if they need support etc.
