Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.
Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.
This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

This scares and saddens me. It's not my thing, but it sounds good in a mass-appeal kind of way. Why bother learning how to play, sing or write music, when you can make a catchy radio-ready song in seconds? Maybe it's time I swapped the plectrums for gardening gloves.
