This is the thing about people who support xenophobes, racist, and authoritarian type leaders.
They know that some groups will suffer but they just donβt care - until itβs one of them
Yet history tells us, fascist authoritarian leaders always go after everyone eventually
I donβt feel British or English even tho Iβm technically both. You have no say over where youβre born, many forces kids were born abroad on postings for example. My known ancestors came here mostly from France as Normans & Huguenots. I could easily have been French. Why must I feel any nationality?

Her face was burnt a dark-brown with the sun, and βFamous Five 01 - Five On A Treasure Islandβ By Enid Blyton 7 her very blue eyes looked as bright as forget-me-nots in her face. But her mouth was rather sulky, and she had a frown like her father's. "No," she said. "I'm not Georgina." "Oh!" said Anne, in surprise. "Then who are you?" "I'm George," said the girl. "I shall only answer if you call me George. I hate being a girl. I won't be. I don't like doing the things that girls do. I like doing the things that boys do. I can climb better than any boy, and swim faster too. I can sail a boat as well as any fisher-boy on this coast. You're to call me George. Then I'll speak to you. But I shan't if you don't." "Oh!" said Anne, thinking that her new cousin was most extraordinary. "All right! I don't care what I call you. George is a nice name, I think. I don't much like Georgina. Anyway, you look like a boy."
To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

It really shouldn't be rare to hear humanity and empathy in politics.
Why are Scottish schools still using Twitter when the site was used to create deepfake sexual images of children? Why is the Scottish government permitting this? Why are councils permitting this? Why are teachers permitting this? If you care about the safety of children get off that site right now.

Thatβs anti-democracy.

The Scottish Government have sat on their hands while cruel and abusive conversion practices continue in Scotland.
We've repeatedly pushed the SNP to ban conversion practices, but they have failed LGBTQ+ people time after time.

Every time we jump in a car for a journey which can be covered on foot or on public transport, we are feeding the massive machine of oil addiction.
Europe is really hardly less addicted to the car, including the UK.

My constituent, Amu, is on Day 40 of their hunger strike in prison.
Last month, I requested an urgent meeting with the Justice Secretary to discuss their wellbeing.
He has now officially declined my request.
What an absolute disgrace.
