It's so easy to forget that rights are never gifted, they always have to be fought for. Anyone taking them away is reversing us all into a very dark place. Democracy gets stiffed in the shadows. So stand up and be counted while you still can

[sarah murphy @13sarahmurphy]

New depths of moronic victimhood plumbed…
By übermoron who took away our freedom of movement rights and was part of a Tory regime that limited our rights to strike, protest and vote and armed the far right with slogans and hate…
FREE to talk shite in the Torygraph.
Repulsive.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

The NHS is broken…

Because the staff are broken!

You made us face a pandemic with only paper masks and plastic aprons

You demonised us for asking not to have our pay cut

You blamed us for your greedy dismantling of the NHS

We are spent!

What a roaring success the privatisation of water has been. One of the richest countries in the world and we can't swim in our water or even drink it without getting sick? This can't go on. What will it take for this Government to act? https://t.co/x8Eq7g7pYI

[David Noble 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @DavidPNoble63]

This is absolutely vile. I mentor several overseas mature students, they work hard and if they have family with them they support them, often by working too. This is not who we are.

All coz I said I can’t even take my kids paddling at beach anymore. Peoples
answer was; get a better job or go back to education. Look I can’t afford to go back to education, someone has to do basic jobs (I’m a cleaner). Instead of telling me to get rid of Netflix, why can’t I just have a fair wage where I’m not reliant on UC to top me up? What’s so wrong with that? #FairWageForAll

@MichaelLCrick When was the last time in similar circumstances a Tory MP said they would resign if guilty ??? Next

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

To privatise anything that will become a monopoly is supremely stupid

Or supremely corrupt

1 month to go until the May elections. If you're not yet registered to vote, you've got just 2 weeks left to apply. And thanks to this awful Govt, you also now need photo ID to cast your vote - if you don't have one, apply for a free voter ID by 24 April

2 April 1942 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Mietje Blok, was born in The Hague.

She arrived at #Auschwitz on 14 December 1942 in a transport of 757 Jews deported from the occupied Netherlands. She was among the 636 people murdered after selection in a gas chamber.

Who represents the biggest danger to our kids?

The most recent records, (2020/21) show:

89% of child sex offenders in England & Wales were white.
6% were Asian
3% were Black
1% were mixed ethnicity
1% were from 'other'

Facts always go down well with the flag shaggers - let's have some more.

2020 saw 8345 people convicted.
7353 were white.
464 Asian.
310 black.
175 were mixed & other.
43 didn't have their ethnicity recorded

96% of all charged were men - 90% of whom were known to the family of the victim.

But sure, stop the boats 🫤

[LORIAGNE GLAUCOMA! NOT SHOUTING! @Loriagne2]

SO HOMELESS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE FINED £2.500! UTTERLY INSANE! WTF IS ON THE STREET WITH MONEY IN THEIR POCKET. GIVE ME STRENGTH. THEY HAVE TRULY LOST THE PLOT IN EVERY BLOODY AREA. ITS GROTESQUE CRIMINALISING HOMELESS DESPERATE PEOPLE.

[sarah murphy @13sarahmurphy]

Good Friday… “let us reflect on the values of compassion, charity and selflessness..”
Followed by Easter Sunday… “let’s criminalise the homeless..”(Times)

Fair to say that ANY *Christian values* message from this bunch of Tory shits was a waste of everyone’s time and patience.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Dear Ma & Pa MAGA,

Now I know that questions like these are about as interesting to you as a tutorial on gun safety, an explanation of how Easter dates fluctuate year to year and a thesaurus, but you see, I’ve long since stopped giving a fuck, so I’m gonna ask it anyway.

And this isn’t really about you answering as much it is about me pointing out your culture war ridiculousness, so if you’re able to, and yer not too busy shooting up beer cans or rage-jerking to Tucker Carlson’s latest rants about unsexy candy characters in comfortable shoes, please do read along. If not, no worries, I’m still gonna say what needs to be said.

So here’s what I want to know - what exactly are Republicans FOR these days? What are they offering? What are they promising? What are they giving you?

Because it’s not infrastructure, the Dems did that. It’s not healthcare, which the Dems did too. It’s not all the other stuff the Dems are doing like lowering the cost of your insulin or lowering your taxes, it’s not creating jobs, not bringing manufacturing back, not honoring our vets, not actually “backing the blue” or “supporting the troops”, it’s not ending the opioid crisis, addressing the border, making Mexico pay for the wall, not lowering unemployment, raising wages, improving maternal care, feeding starving children, not keeping books on shelves, keeping the planet green, keeping you safe at work, protecting social security or growing the GDP, it’s not protecting your reproductive rights, your access to IVF and contraception, protecting Democracy abroad and it’s sure as shit not protecting your kids from gun violence at school.

When a bridge collapses after a ship collision and six workers die, they blame DEI. When a woman is killed they blame the border. When a movie theatre gets shot up they blame “mental health.” When a long-standing day of visibility for a group of people who pose no harm to them outside of the fact that they simply want to live their authentic lives, coincides with Easter, they blame “blasphemy.”

They say America sucks, that our economy is in ruins, and that our streets are rife with more crime than ever, when none of that’s true. They say prices are too high, but vote against stopping gouging, that our roads are in disrepair, but then vote against fixing them, and that our border is in crisis, while refusing to even vote on a bill THEY themselves demanded and co-wrote.

They’re not doing a damn thing about the kitchen table issues you think about every single night. In fact, they’re telling you that they’re coming for the shit you rely on like affordable healthcare, access to IVF and contraception, they’re telling you they are coming for the social security you have been paying into.

But you can’t hear them. You don’t want to hear them because you’re too busy being “scared” that your kid’s teacher wants them to be “furries” when they’re not, that immigrants come here to commit crimes, when they don’t, that some drag queen you’ve never met and you do not know tried to “indoctrinate” kindergartners with a book about earthworms when they simply would not and have not.

You’re too busy welcoming being stoked, poked and prodded with manufactured outrage and irrational fear, too busy letting them embrace your intolerance, empower your biases, and embolden your bigotry to ever care to notice that they offer you nothing which is real.

They’re for fostering angst, anxiety and anger in a “failing nation.”
They’re for telling you that someone else is to blame for your failures.
They’re “for” openly hating who you hate.

That’s it.
That’s all they are “for.”

And unfortunately, despite the fact that nothing could be further from the truth, that’s all you seem to think you need.

And I want to know why.

Rishi Sunak plans to criminalise rough sleeping

Now this comes as a real surprise

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

I was brought up by Catholic parents

I enjoyed the stories of the bible

The morals of the story

I lost my faith as I got older

& while I can no longer claim to be Christian

I practise the nice bits I remember

& f*cking abhor how Christianity has been hijacked by the right.

[Claire 💙 @clairebubblepop]

Wild how MSM are still going after Rayner. Don’t remember them losing their shit so much after Zahawi failed to pay tax, or when Braverman claimed £25k for energy bills, or Hunt failing to declare his 7 apartments, or Johnson claiming his lawyer fees, or Sunak “inadvertently” giving his wife companies contracts. I could go on…
