Thereโ€™s something ridiculous about Brits who move to Spain or Australia and proudly call themselves expats, but in the same breath label people of colour in the UK as โ€˜foreignersโ€™ or โ€˜migrantsโ€™.

Living in another country makes you the migrant. The double standards are wild

Why are the media trying to paint this man as some kind of pillar of the community who just made an error? He was behind the wheel under the influence of drugs.

Why not tell us about the families, the prospects, the careers of the 79 people he mowed down - including 4 children.

Joey Barton convicted of assaulting his wife. Laurence Fox charged over an upskirting image. Can we finally talk about the misogyny-to-far-right pipeline?

When youโ€™ve been stalked and sexually harassed by another woman for the best part of FIVE years and now youโ€™re about to speak. And now can show journalists not to get news stories from the Twitter feeds of stupid people and fantasists. And then the booker from Newsnight gets fired ๐Ÿ˜‚

I wonโ€™t stay silent about SAโ€”for my health, my power, and to challenge those who want survivors to be silent. Here in Merseyside, VWAG is silently k*lling more women than anywhere else. How do we empower and support survivors?

But not all neurodiversities are legitimised in the same way. What are your thoughts on this?

.. socially acceptable traitsโ€”lateness, untidiness, forgetfulnessโ€”show up. Suddenly, itโ€™s not neurodiversity, itโ€™s individual culpability.

I always think about my other long-term condition, asthma. Imagine if someone tried to blame me for my airways closing over - it would be ridiculous, right?.

In a digital age, police warnings alone may not be enough. Platforms like X need to take greater responsibility for monitoring and removing posts too.

If you see them today, try to take a moment to show our appreciation for all their hard work! A smile, a kind word, or even a small gesture like a card or treat can go a long way to brighten their day. They truly are the magic behind the scenes this festive season! ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ“ฎ"
