Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

This is brilliant from Tegan Bennett Daylight. There's at least 1 of these men at every event/book signing. It took me till my 50s to snap. The lurker waited to the end & said rudely, 'You've improved'. I said: 'I don't care what you think'. He was flabbergasted. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Frankly being a wheelchair user around these kinds of cars is absolutely terrifying because judging by the amount of near misses I’ve had with land rovers they clearly can’t see me. I fundamentally do not understand why we allow cars to get more and more dangerous for non-drivers!
