By the way @theguardian.com, there is no race 'debate' going on here - it's just pure, unadulterated racist/fascist fuckery

โ€˜Frightened to get out of their carsโ€™: Britainโ€™s toxic race debates threaten overseas care workers Staff are being advised to travel in mixed groups and carry panic alarms as incidents of intimidation spread

'Staff working with elderly and disabled service users have been advised to travel to work in racially mixed groups and carry panic alarms [...] following a surge in [...] โ€œverbal abuse and spittingโ€ from strangers'. ๐Ÿคฌ Then those fucking strangers need to get off the island and into the sea

This is such a good point. I can't afford ยฃ100 for a covid booster. I could and would cheerfully pay ยฃ15 for one as I do flu. I also don't understand why so many aren't eligible for an NHS booster this year considering it didn't miraculously stop being covid over the summer

Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime' Video appears to show two people in balaclavas at the mosque before a large blaze spreads.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

Vile. Recognising a Palestinian State is NOT a convenient get out clause for allowing and enabling a genocide. Also โ€˜We are a party of government, not a party of protestโ€™ - exactly you fucking ghoul, so you have the ability and responsibility to do something about it

Iโ€™ve written him another letter, asking why heโ€™s only saying this now, almost three years after Alice Litmanโ€™s PFD report raised the issue and why heโ€™s failed to respond to correspondence from me on at least six occasions.

Broken hearted my arse. Covering his back more like.
