📢 1/14 WHY THE MONARCHY HAS TO GO 🧵
A royal family is the apex stone in an archway of privilege and patronage. It sustains class divisions and preserves the money and power of the elite to the detriment of the majority. It normalises and sanctifies #inequality. @RepublicStaff
📢 1/12 ARE WE USING THE WRONG WORDS?
What if we talked more of “sharing” and less of “socialism”? What if we spoke more about “fairness” and less about “equality”, and more about “unfairness” instead of “inequality”? What if we relentlessly shamed the rich hoarders? 🧵
Did you know only 8% of England’s countryside has a right of public access? And only 3% of rivers? Sign this petition from @Right_2Roam calling for access reform this election. It's time we stopped being shut out of our own country! https://t.co/pmKFMC97gC via @38degrees

Using rice to explain how rich Jeff Bezos is.
1 grain of rice is $100,000
Average 3 years wages in UK is 1 grain of rice.
Average UK family home costs 3 grains of rice
(BTW, Jeff Bezos's stash of rice has doubled since this video was made 2 years ago)
@BritishCycling@Shell_UKLtd That's my interest in @BritishCycling nullified. Accelerating your path to net zero with funding from an oil company? Reversing away from net zero more like!
@CravenHerald Ridiculous decision, Bradford council are sensibly allowing events to continue. Bradley Show and Skipton Park run went ahead. International cricket and golf continued why not the triathlon @CravenCouncil? I haven't met anyone who agrees with this decision have you @VoteAndyBrown
@neilrholloway@CravenCouncil@PShevlin55 Bradford council are allowing a cyclo-cross event to be held in Myrtle park on the same day as Skipton Triathlon, why is Craven different and why is there no advertising of the cancellation in the press?
@CravenCouncil will there be (or has there been) a public announcement explaining why grass routes events have been cancelled this weekend? I was at Bradley gala and the numbers there confirmed the public support for holding events in a respectful manner.
@CravenCouncil@SkiptonTownHall A nice way to show some respect. No idea why you have to cancel events such as the Skipton Triathlon though. If's ok for professionals to play a cricket match surely its ok for adults and kids to run around a park?
