You know, I want my country back too
Back from the far right, the racists, the politicians who prey on ignorance and xenophobia, back from the EDL, Farage, Reform The Daily Mail, The Sun and every God forsaken crappy organisation that spreads divisive hate

“Help each other, push each other. Stick together no matter what happens boys. Go for it, enjoy it, be brave, full of confidence, everything we do. We defend together, we attack together. Let’s go!”
Spent the morning with some great AP staff today, and one key takeaway for mainstream staff: don’t ‘threaten kids with AP’ if they don’t behave. It creates a negative impression that good APs have to work hard to undo when the kid arrives. These are places of intensive care, not prisons. Done right, they turn around, even save, lives.
