As many of us will be disappointed about the #England match tonight, the impact this can have on survivors can be much more severe. Being disappointed about the match is NO excuse for abuse. #HesComingHome #ENGFRA

@xtreme_nta @jane_hurghada1 @Sistah_Space @ManduReid @SuzanneEJacob Reasonable enough if they did. I guess you’d tell them if you knew.

Lady Susan Hussey did not make racist comments. She simply saw a name she didn't recognize and wanted to know which ethnicity bore the name. Ngozi could have done us proud by saying that she's a proud Igbo descendant, but noooooo. Where you see racism, I see racial inferiority.

[Samantha Smith @SamanthaTaghoy]

Lady Susan Hussey is of a generation where such questions were asked out of curiosity, not with an intention to offend

Yet, at 83, she has been publicly crucified, fired from the job she dedicated six decades to, and branded racist by the King + her own godson

Utterly inhumane

[Belinda de Lucy @BelindadeLucy]

Lady Hussey is in her 80s and asked where someone was originally from. I know can cause offence but what an unforgiving and hostile climate this is to our most dutiful and resilient generation who, with no malice, get it wrong and are cancelled after a life time of service.

@Kalvinphillips I wish players would make a rainbow sign with their spaced out fingers in a semi circle. Impossible to stop and obvious what it means 🌈

@Martina I wish soccer players would make a rainbow sign with their spaced out fingers in a semi circle. Impossible to stop and obvious what it means 🌈

[LeftIsBest @LeftIsBest8]

@PeterTatchell I wish footballers would make semicircular rainbow sign with spaced out fingers. Impossible to stop and obvious what it means. 🌈

@ACLU @Martina Link has died

[LeftIsBest @LeftIsBest8]

@almostoneword @ExStrategist Back to the fringe for the Left. We’ll still have protests and microphones and marches. While the centrists try to win the election

[LeftIsBest @LeftIsBest8]

@Kasparov63 Yeah im worried about escalation. The Ukrainian people will be even worse off then.

[LeftIsBest @LeftIsBest8]

@GrumpyOldDoc @BBCPolitics I went looking for that as you didn’t provide a link. Doesn’t exist.

[LeftIsBest @LeftIsBest8]

@LBC @SangitaMyska Then water could be like the NHS and the DVLA.

@PeterTatchell Insect factories?

@billybragg Hopefully he hasn’t been reading the pile on tweets. Just get a friend to delete/block/mute.

@lizzzburden I think we would still be talking about it. Brexit is one slice of the pie chart.

[LeftIsBest @LeftIsBest8]

@lewis_goodall Looks like an unintended consequence of making life hard for landlords with no alternative plan.

[LeftIsBest @LeftIsBest8]

@lewis_goodall That doesn’t seem that generational. Looks like all ages affected.

[LeftIsBest @LeftIsBest8]

@lewis_goodall So 60% of calls from those ages 35 and over.
