If you are more upset by a temporary impact from #BLM protests than the other #pandemic of BAME deaths globally at hands of authority, you are part of the systemic problem of racism & socioeconomic inequality. #BlackLivesMatter #POClivesmatter @pritipatel #wrongsideofhistory #BLM

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

People have a right to protest peacefully & while observing social distancing but they have no right to attack the police. These demonstrations have been subverted by thuggery - and they are a betrayal of the cause they purport to serve. Those responsible will be held to account.

@Liftshare I'm a bit confused by the process for @LatitudeFest – I seem to have been added to a team randomly? Want to make sure we all get the right permit(s), as there are other drivers, and we are driving separately with #liftshare passengers too...

Proud of the #ENG team (not a ft footie fan but I enjoy the spectacle of big events) & in awe of the sheer courage of stepping up to take a penalty on mega #EURO2020 stage. Ashamed of the minority spoiling the good vibes. Well done #Italy, and see you all next year! #WorldCup2022

[Sophia @copaceticsoph]

Watching the footie (obvs) this evening, as a family plus 2 friends, and we are all frankly embarrassed by the #Wembley fans on the #ENG side constantly booing and whining whenever #ITA simply have the ball. Can we all just play, pls? #Euro2020Final #EURO2020

Great to see the upcoming focus on entrepreneurs in the budget, with a new fast-track visa stream to help the UK compete with the global demand for talent in tech and fintech. Exciting times for the fintech sector as it continues to grow and scale.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

UK government has announced "a bee-killing pesticide so poisonous that it is banned by the EU" may be used in England.

New coal mines and pesticides... the UK's so called "green industrial revolution" is off to a great start.
Very credible indeed.

@RotherBooks Can we order books somehow? And are you doing gift vouchers? 📚📖 #shoplocal

I think everyone could use a lighthearted/happy story right now so here goes:

At the beginning of the pandemic I went through some painful personal stuff and would often go out at night for long walks because no one was around and I couldn’t sleep anyway. One night I was walking

@CamdenBrewery I’ve tried to claim 3 posters on your website. First code didn’t work so I chalked it up to experience. But after 2 more failed attempts? DM me with an explanation pls. I can send you photos of the codes that didn’t work! #scam? #verydisappointed ❌🍺

@realDonaldTrump You lost, sweetie.

If you paid $12.99 a month for an Amazon Prime membership, you paid more to Amazon than it paid in federal income taxes over the past 3 years combined—after making nearly $30 billion in profits. Yes. It's time to make corporations pay their fair share of taxes.

Fun (if occasionally maddening 😅) thread of stories along this theme! #mansplaining #everydaysexism

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

You should not be able to push race hate and send death threats with impunity online.

Shame on @Twitter for failing to act with @metpoliceuk to identify who sent this threat.

#BlackLivesMatter has to be more than a slogan to drive traffic and ad revenue on your website.

[Sophia @copaceticsoph]

Outrageous. #BlackLivesMatter or do they? Shame on all failing David Lanny here. And in #BlackHistoryMonthUK too. Insulting.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

I have just been informed by @metpoliceuk they have dropped their investigation into this threat because @Twitter have refused to assist in their investigation.

@Jack please explain why you are shielding vile racists who make death threats on your platform? #BlackLivesMatter

I am a lesbian of colour with a disability. There’s no instance I can imagine a woman-indentifying individual making me fearful any more than anyone else in a given space. People can be shit. Gender has nothing to do with it. Assholes are everywhere. @jk_rowling looking at you⚡️

[Sophia @copaceticsoph]

I don’t tweet much or have any time for the misogynistic piling on to successful women when they speak their unpopular views. @jk_rowling has a powerful platform and the right to speak her beliefs (1)

[PinkNews @PinkNews]

JK Rowling platforms anti-trans shop selling ‘lesbians don’t have penises’ and ‘f**k your pronouns’ merch https://t.co/PtgoTSQEGY

[Sophia @copaceticsoph]

But when those beliefs cause harm, cause suicidal ideation and, ultimately, contribute to suicide, I must speak out as a much less powerful individual. (2)
