Imagine living in poverty and being cold and hungry and you get a card from people who could end your struggles without even noticing it financially saying they pity you. This country is dystopian. Abolish the monarchy.
"The OBE means Order of the British Empire.. I've been fighting against Empire all my life, I've been fighting against slavery and colonialism all my life.. so how can I then accept an honour that puts the word Empire onto my name? "

I am a NHS consultant. I am financially comfortable, in a job I love, so why am I striking tomorrow?
Answer: Because the next generation will not be able to live off what I do today. The juniors that will become these consultants know this and are leaving already.
Why? 🧵 👇

Today is #StephenLawrence Day, marking the 30th anniversary of the racist murder.
A police cover up and a racist system prevented justice.
I pledge to fight for racial equality, and a better police service.
What's your #StephenLawrenceDayPledge?
When you take some of the brightest people of their generation, make them work in a system that is broken, understaffed, with a bullying / racist culture- cut their salaries by 30% then refuse to meet with them to discuss terms and conditions, and blame them for being unreasonable- you wonder how out of touch a government can be.
If you want a NHS, you have to value junior doctors more.
