A Jewish Dane in England. A socialist. Believe in "stronger together". Tired of NeoCon/Liberal free market capitalism.
I grew up with this too. It is not acceptable. It is not okay. It is not normal. That it is a necessity, still, is a travesty.
Bomb proof doors. Barbed wire. Coordinating with police. Community security service. Drilling congregants about the security protocol. Withholding the details of events publicly for security reasons. Always being on high alert. The list goes on.

And it’s still not enough.

What more can we do?

There are issues in the world that are grey and complicated, fighting the horrendous practice of #FGM isn't one.

There's no valid point, value or benefit. Just pain, disfigurement, and lifelong complications for the poor girls being subjected to it.

This is straight up appalling and must prompt an immediate change of platform for all government/state entities.

It might require some untangling of systems, but it has to be done, and made very public.
It would be nice to, among other things, get an answer from the UK government about why they still feel comfortable using this as one of their primary communication channels

Millionaire Nigel Farage:
- said Putin was his favourite world leader
- backed Trump
- advocated replacing NHS with private insurance schemes
- said Brexit would benefit Britain

Hard to think of a worse track record.
Don’t vote Reform!

I get the frustrations with Labour, but voting Reform is not and will not be a solution for the better. It will be the opposite.
Thinking of voting Reform UK because you want a change?
Be careful what you wish for – Reform UK are salespeople offering simplistic solutions that come with baggage that would cost you and the country

Another reason not to vote Reform UK on 1st May
Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

THIS IS WHY

I've signed and agree fully and wholly with the need for public ownership.
We need utilities in public ownership. Water companies especially are a scam, doing nothing to maintain the infrastructure and with no incentive to work for the benefit of customers just for shareholders. Please sign. It's really easy, very quick!

Let's use our collective power.

🚨BREAKING - Steve Reed has just launched the biggest review into the water sector since privatisation.

But wait…..he says the commission can’t even consider public ownership. 🤯

We need to act quickly to change his mind. ⏰

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

Brexit was pushed through by lies. The Sun lied about benefits tourism. Later, it printed this pathetically small apology.

The government should force all news media to print apologies for falsehoods in a form that makes them very visible to the public.
