This is appalling. If someone doesn’t want to be treated by a person of colour then put them in the corridor and give them the phone number for a taxi company. People can’t pick and choose, who treats them, by skin colour. news.sky.com/story/nhs-st...

Patients refusing to be treated by non-white staff as NHS reports shocking rise in racism

Paul Awah, a Bedfordshire-based diagnostic radiographer originally from Nigeria, said: "It's definitely got worse – people are more expressive."

Oh look, JK Rowling's chequebook-waving has emboldened the ADF, a Christofascist hate group that has been pouring millions into the UK to fund court cases and lobbying against abortion rights, equal marriage rights, Pride events etc., to go on the attack as well. Top standing up for women, Joanne!

When we have actual fascists marching in the streets and targeting people due to the colour of their skin or perceived religion, this is incredibly ugly and entirely unnecessary. The government isn’t going to arrest its way out of this fiasco of its own making.

Just seen the terrible news from the attack on 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇩🇪 Pride participants at Tiergarten park in Berlin. My heart goes out to everyone there and those injured. I hope the perpetrator is caught quickly and that those injured receive the care and support they need ASAP.

Imagine how the thousands of visitors and athletes here for the Commonwealth Games are going to feel seeing the disgraceful and sickening scenes in parts of the city today. It isn’t acceptable any more for people to just tweet about it and sign petitions.

The US "our lecture will give you the shits, your tougth really" The UK "QUICK! check your milk it MIGHT have a trace amount of antibiotics in it, if it does we'll give you a full refund" And you wonder why the UK doesn't want to lower our food standards to US levels?

Oh jeez. I’ve had my cannabis oil earlier and I’ve recorded a voice message for a friend about my theory about something ridiculous and I’ve accidentally emailed it on to my doctor. I wish the ground would open up and swallow me 🤦‍♂️

I was always gonna boycott the Harry Potter TV series but I would urge anyone on the fence to stop engaging with the franchise as long as JKR is using her proceeds to fund her continued attacks on trans people and allies. Reheated nostalgia slop just isn’t worth it.

We said all along that none of this was for ‘safety reasons’. It is about humiliating and isolating trans people and attempting to remove them from society. Republican pressure drives trans teen from dance competition | Advocate.com www.advocate.com/politics/sta...
