An incomplete list of British crimes across the world under the reign of Elizabeth II

In 1952 Churchill argued Kenyas fertile highlands should only be for white ppl and and approved the forcible removal of the local pop. Hundreds of thousands of Kenyans were forced into camps.

Shamima Begum and her two friends were minors. They could have been prevented from making the worst mistake of their lives, and prevented from ruining other people’s lives

But instead a Western spy got them into Syria – and Britain helped cover it up.

"I didn't take the job on to starve children."

This dinner lady is dreading going back to work in October and fears many of the school's pupils will not be able to afford lunch.

whilst you’re insistent that the patriarchy has to go undercover in a dress to corrupt your kids, Andrew Tate, a man who is being investigated for human trafficking, has literally been telling millions of boys that men need to beat bitches who ought to stay in the kitchen, fwiw.

We’re fucked. We’re going to be fighting against overturning abortion rights next in the UK. This is how it always starts — derail from issues that affect a demographic by creating a boogeyman to “fight” instead, followed by the sympathetic intros of the far right in the press.

🧵 A thread on companies and brands who participated in the global humiliation of Amber Heard and profited from the Depp v. Heard trial.

So turns out For Women Scotland got asked some incredibly honest questions by Open Democracy journalists. How did For Women Scotland respond?

Well strap in for a thread about a totally normal response from a totally normal campaign group.

Common narrative is that freedom day & policy decisions since then paid off.

They did not for the NHS or those needing its care.

NHS had 2 short breaks to catch its breath & try to work through its backlog. But since July, there has been no break. Just growing backlogs. 1/4

The 11 years on fixed term contracts have been HELL. At various points, I've been starving, homeless, at risk of deportation, bullied, harassed, and on the verge of break down. Casualisation is destructive and in no way inevitable!
