Is this a match played by women illustrated with a photo of 3 men?

Wild how weโ€™ve got politicians lining up to agree the fash thugs outside hotels full of migrants have a good point, while the cops are cheerfully threatening to destroy the lives and living standards of protestors against genocide

This is actual orchestrated terrorism and Kier should be sending everything he can to round them up instead of arresting people for protesting genocide. I canโ€™t go for walks in the evening because a group of racist thugs patrol round Warrenpoint nightly and have attacked people who stand up to them

Will we see hundreds of arrests of those publicly supporting proscribed terrorist groups in NI?

Are the legitimate concerns of ethnic minorities about racism being ignored? 'Politicians must not ignore threats to racial equality today'

Excellent piece by @sundersays.bsky.social on the need to address the "legitimate concerns" of many British people - about the growth of open racism and ethnonationalism in the British political class and media.

Five survivors of Rotherham grooming gangs say they were also raped by police officers Three former South Yorkshire police officers arrested in investigation into claims by the women, as young as 12 at the time

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. Itโ€™s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

I'm pleased at how little I know of him and how much I know of Vanessa Whyte and her children. It feels like lessons have been learned from the coverage of Clodagh Hawe and her family

Wondering what that racist reform bich is going to make of the South Yorkshire police raping and abusing children from Rotherham.

This is utterly horrific. No officers ever held accountable despite the incredible bravery of victims and the work of their advocates. Disband this rotten police force. My heart is with all these women, how have they survived I cannot imagine

Police officers โ€˜also abusedโ€™ Rotherham grooming gang victims One says she was raped from the age of 12 by a South Yorkshire Police officer in a marked police car.

BBC: South Yorkshire Police officers took part in rape and sexual assault of under-age girls who were victims of grooming gangs. The force has frequently featured in the worst scandals of police corruption over many decades. This may be a new nadir

I recall trying to explain to people that the police dont care about being called racist & they have a long history of systemic classism & sexism. So when the victims are working class girls and women and the police say they're scared of getting called racist, there was definitely more to the story

As I said on day one, the first day that the Times broke the story about the gangs: the idea that the police were too petrified to investigate sexual offences by Asian men because they might be perceived as racist did not pass *the laugh test*, never mind the smell test.

'Gross failings' of police over restrained Nottingham man's death Kaine Fletcher died after being restrained by police during a mental health crisis.

"Gross failings" by Nottinghamshire Police and Street Triage contributed to the death of Kaine Fletcher -

Not one but two PFD notices issued in this case.

The failings in this poor man's care are sadly absolutely no surprise to anyone with experience of trying to access mental health services. I'm so sorry to him and his family. People dealing with mental ill health are so often doing so despite NHS services and not with ๐Ÿ˜”
