happy “the men’s scotland team are playing in a world cup for the first time in my lifetime” week to all those who celebrate

[Alan M @Heavy_Boab]

Considering the last week, a room full of millionaires mocking a working class caretaker with Tourette’s is not a good look. It is not brave. It is not edgy. It is punching down at a disabled man who cannot control his neurological condition. After everything he has endured, that is not comedy. It is cruelty dressed up as it.

[Alan M @Heavy_Boab]

I think it is abundantly clear that the elite multimillionaire class love to preach inclusion, acceptance and understanding of disabled people until they are actually confronted with disability.

They will stand on stage and applaud a film about the struggles of living with Tourette’s. They will celebrate the awareness. They will congratulate themselves on being progressive.

But the moment they are faced with the hard, gritty reality of Tourette’s uncensored and unscripted for all to see and hear, the tone changes.

Suddenly they are shocked. Suddenly they are appalled. Suddenly they are not quite as inclusive, accepting or understanding after all.

The mask of virtue slipped.

You invited a man with Tourette’s into the room. You were made aware of his condition. You applauded him. And then when Tourette’s did exactly what Tourette’s does, you recoiled.

You cannot celebrate the story and reject the reality.

Tourette’s is not tidy. It is not convenient. It is not performative. It is neurological. It is involuntary. It does not edit itself for elite comfort.

The irony is this. Tourette’s is louder than ever right now. More people are learning. More people are asking questions. More people are understanding.

You tried to distance yourselves from the reality. Instead you amplified it.

We are all thinking of you Johnny. We are with you. And support for you and for everyone living with Tourette’s is only growing.

[Luke Charters MP @lukejcr]

So there we have it. Reform UK want to repeal the Equality Act.

This is the law that:

Stops your boss sacking you for being pregnant.

Protects disabled workers who need adjustments to do their job.

Backs up equal pay for women.

Stops people from being harassed at work because they’re LGBT+.

Makes it illegal to refuse someone a job or a service because of their race or religion.

And THIS is what they’ve decided is the problem in Britain?

Not the cost of living.
Not NHS waits.
Not wages. (They said they’d actually them CUT for young people)

But YOUR rights.

THEIR culture wars would TEAR UP protections that millions of hardworking Brits rely on every day.

NO THANKS ❌

The world failed, this should never have been allowed‼️

Russia has been banned from the Olympics, the FIFA World Cup and Eurovision since 2022 for its invasion of Ukraine, yet Israel, once again, is granted full impunity.
