@melissasigodo So glad for him. Having worked in the NHS in rural areas, the abuse carers get is shameful, and mind you the vast majority of carers are either African or Filipino.
Honestly this country for the most part doesn't deserve carers for the abuse they get.

Victoria Park, London, 1978.
100,000 Skins, Punks, Jews, Blacks, Muslims, Mixed , English, Irish, Hindus, Sikhs, Scots, Welsh, Working Class, Middle Class, trade unionists, unified against racists and fascists.
Gen Z, it's your turn.
When Muslims exercise their democratic rights through peaceful protest & voting they are described as extremist mobs.
When racists attack mosques, homes & businesses they are described as people with legitimate grievances.
The racist double standard is so glaringly obvious.
There are plenty of white working-class people who despise everything these racists stand for and who care deeply about improving their own communities. They don't go around attacking places of worship and abusing Muslim women on the street.
And, to be clear, I believe the struggles of people in former pit communities and deprived seaside towns are often similar to those of working-class Black and Asian people in diverse communities. We have to address material need but we can never appease these violent racists.
Wonder what would happen if these 'tru english' people out rioting found out that even the celts had influences from Indian Hindi culture (Ramayana) before christianity even touched this island🤔 wonder if they'd spontaneously combust
Let me guess, history pre-1800s is 'woke'
Every time u people talk about "revival", the 'communities' to use ur speak end up being exploited by brands, and loses it's cult status, loses it's meaning.
Be smart, support the culture, and shush. Call me a gatekeeper if u want, idgaf. I don't care for appeasement.
@FanuFatgyver That's how it goes but at least you know anyone who says good things about your music *really* means it, and isn't just saying it cause of marketing convenience
To all the people saying "they should have locked the Just Stop Oil protesters up for longer", enjoy your weekend.
But please remember that you wouldn't have a weekend, or any other fundamental right, were it not for protesters who were reviled by people like you.🧵
@Femi_Sorry Y'know it's shocking. I was brought up to appreciate the struggle my parent's and grandparent's generation went through in the UK from the 60s and how it makes me appreciate the voice I can have today.
Promise Phillips knocking on my door few months back had me VEXXED!
Brewdog has fired an Asian worker because she complained when Brewdog hosted the EDL where she worked.
It seems to be a very poor company, best avoided.
@caitoz Well it's changed in recent years, but only in a performative manner. The reality is the majority of people are fickle and choose fake shit in hopes of an opportunity rather than to be real.
People just like surface image shit and that's where their minds stop.
EXCLUSIVE: Tribune can reveal that an Asian BrewDog employee was sacked after raising concerns about the presence of the EDL on the day of a far-right rally.

AI stem splitting tools are superb, but next up I want to see a 'de-mastering' tool so I can cut more percy's to dubplate; saves labels money, and I can have full-fat 1 tune per side with no fillers, given dubplate going rate is ~£30 and standard release w/ postage is like £18
