Zack Polanski's speech at the Together Alliance march
"Looking at this crowd I see unity, I see solidarity, I see love. I see we are together"
"Look around. Look at the people around you. We are intergenerational. We are white, we are black, we are Asian, we are Muslim, Christian, Jewish, non-faiths. We are community"
"And together, we will win"
"The tide is turning is turning. There have been dark times. I know people have been scared and have been afraid"
"But days like this are here to send a message"
"A message to Tommy Robinson. To Nigel Farage. To those appease who appease them"
"When we turn up in our hundreds and our thousands, in our hundreds of thousands, we are unstoppable"
"We see what's happening in the United States. Children snatched in the streets. People shot in cold blood. We see the war mongering. And the far right see that as their blueprint"
"But people in this country have seen Reform UK for who they really are"
"They would have dragged us into this illegal and unpopular war with Iran"
"And we say today, this is not in our name, this is not our war"
"And looking out today I see so many flags and so many slogans"
"I know we are here for our migrant communities, for our trans communities, for the Palestinians, our struggles are interconnected, and we stand in solidarity"
"There's three things we have to do"
"First. We must not give an inch to the Daily Mail, to the rightwing hacks, to the people that spread hate and division. We will defeat you"
"Second. We say to Reform UK, we know exactly who you are. You are climate denying, Trump-loving, NHS dismantling, corporate stooges"
"Finally. We have to tackle the cost of living. It is time to lower people's bills. It is time to tax billionaires. Nationalise the water companies. Rent controls. Make sure we have the energy cap, so people aren't chosing between heating and eating"
"More than anything, today is a march and it does not stop here. This is just the beginning"
"Local elections are coming in just a few weeks time. We will defeat hate"
"It's time to make hope normal again"
*Audience erupts in cheer*
@bookingcom I’m extremely disappointed with how a no-fault accommodation disruption was handled.
My confirmed booking was not honoured by the property, I was left without accommodation abroad, forced to rebook far away and incur extra transport costs.
Dear BBC, a gentle reminder that this is written on the side of your fucking headquarters. If I were you, I’d be sacking the chairman who withheld the truth, NOT the presenter who told it.
It's a good time to remember that the Chairman of the BBC is Richard Sharp, someone who's donated £400,000+ to the Conservatives and helped Boris Johnson with an £800,000 loan.
Let's remember that when they talk about BBC "impartiality".
It's a simple idea: We demand the govt scrap the energy price rises and deliver affordable energy for all. We will build a million pledges and by Oct 1st if the govt and energy companies fail to act we will cancel our direct debits. Read more here: https://t.co/NPF8VQXcHD
Liverpool fans booing the national anthem today, rejecting blind patriotism and the establishment, is right up there with them clapping Ronaldo in the 7th minute.
Pure quality from socialist fans.
Sonny begrudgingly voted Labour 🙄He did however keep barking ‘Starmer’s a Tory’ & insisted on wearing his red bandana…he wishes to make clear this is in support of @LFC and not Labour. Needs must to send a clear message to this laughable government 😵💫

PLEASE spare me, the poor tale of being blinded. My left wing comrades and I, saw it coming a mile off… so spare me the bullshit sob story of ‘how were we to know?!’ …WE effing told you a MILLION times. Did you listen? Nah, you ignorant cotton-headed-ninny-muggins 😑🙄☹️
People who refused to vote Labour in 2019 but somehow consider themselves progressive need a reality check: you people have costs lives. You have harmed minorities. you are implicit in the death of refugees. And now you are responsible for the further privatisation of the NHS
@drmartens @ASOS I am appalled at your customer service and partnership - you have been most unhelpful. I bought faulty Dr Martens sandals from ASOS for £89 and neither of you will accept fault!
UK coronavirus death toll is now the highest in Europe, and it is a significant underestimate, as we have not tested nearly as much as other countries. And we reached the top of this chart quicker than Italy.
Anyone claiming that the UK has handled this well is deranged.
