Evidence collected by our doctors providing care to people seeking sanctuary held at that military site in Essex shows 4 in 10 people have suicidal thoughts and three quarters are in “severe psychological distress”
Violent racist rioters who tried to burn refugees alive get shorter jail sentences (2-3 years) than peaceful @JustStop_ Oil protesters (4-5 years)
That's the real 'two-tier injustice' in UK today. SHAME!

"Every dollar invested in cycling returns 20 or 30 in social economic benefits: reduced carbon, air and noise pollution, improved public health and less congestion.
Cycling brings benefits to everyone in a city, whether or not they get on a bike."

Being a woman is kind of like being a cyclist in a city where all the cars represent men. You're supposed to be able to share the road equally with cars, but that's not how it works. The roads are built for cars and you spend a great deal of physical and mental energy being defensive and trying not to get hurt. Some of the cars want you to get hurt. They think you don't have any place on the road at all. And if you do get hurt by a car, everyone makes excuses that it's your fault.
Environmental activists can no longer explain their motives to a jury. This situation is not only laughable and farcical; it is deeply sinister. This judgment and these laws MUST be overturned. https://t.co/5uuJ7UtGcI

I am humbled to have been profiled in this important article that questions the future of solitary. I say that solitary confinement has no future. Time to slam the door on it & open the door to humane alternatives.
