Has been known to go out

This is the City Barge pub in Chiswick right now. What do you notice? It’s 3pm and they’re open. It’s a sunny day. Yes, that’s right; they have had to remove all of the tables and chairs outside. They have had to destroy their own business. Why? Because Rick Rowe, a Green Party councillor on Hounslow council, who lives very, very, very close to this pub and complains about it almost daily, has banned all three pubs here on strand on the Green Chiswick, from having outside tables. I can only assume he hates pubs, hates business and hates the British way of life. This would usually be buzzing with people enjoying their afternoon. However, they’re the wrong sort of people for Rick.

I think it is abundantly clear that the elite multimillionaire class love to preach inclusion, acceptance and understanding of disabled people until they are actually confronted with disability.

They will stand on stage and applaud a film about the struggles of living with Tourette’s. They will celebrate the awareness. They will congratulate themselves on being progressive.

But the moment they are faced with the hard, gritty reality of Tourette’s uncensored and unscripted for all to see and hear, the tone changes.

Suddenly they are shocked. Suddenly they are appalled. Suddenly they are not quite as inclusive, accepting or understanding after all.

The mask of virtue slipped.

You invited a man with Tourette’s into the room. You were made aware of his condition. You applauded him. And then when Tourette’s did exactly what Tourette’s does, you recoiled.

You cannot celebrate the story and reject the reality.

Tourette’s is not tidy. It is not convenient. It is not performative. It is neurological. It is involuntary. It does not edit itself for elite comfort.

The irony is this. Tourette’s is louder than ever right now. More people are learning. More people are asking questions. More people are understanding.

You tried to distance yourselves from the reality. Instead you amplified it.

We are all thinking of you Johnny. We are with you. And support for you and for everyone living with Tourette’s is only growing.

Thank you to Shayla Amamiya for explaining coprolalia in regards to Tourette’s syndrome.

I’ve been pretty quiet until now about the Threads remake that’s in the pipeline.
My view?
The world has moved on & yes, there’s scope for an updated nuclear holocaust drama.
But do NOT call it Threads. Threads is a film made in 1984 that still speaks.
Call it something else!

Hello you! The final series of Big Boys is now available to watch @Channel4. Please feel free to spread the word as there’s no huge marketing campaign for our lil show, but I think it’s the best season we’ve made + I hope you enjoy where we leave them 💖 https://t.co/Z4JWLZzshE

As the battle for a chart position rages, could we ask for your help? If you could help spread the word about @AlisonMoyet's album Key, it could make all the difference.
