Just spoken at the Roadpeace event for World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.
The experiences of bereaved families and injured people must be heard so institutions like the Met and TfL behave with empathy and understanding of the acute trauma and violence involved in road death.

Disappointed that the Met Commissioner does not see the part that a good collision investigation plays in road traffic victims getting justice after a crash.

The BBC is the biggest thump of soft power the UK has and its reach and influence to the benefit of the country is extraordinary. Destroy it, hugely damage the UK. The same people who helped weaken us over Brexit are seeking to do it again.
Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

What's cool about the current trans panic is you can just spout any old shite and no one will check: "“the majority of lesbians who arrive as freshers […] will be some flavour of trans or non-binary within a year,” a process that she argues is accompanied by a “clear decline in mental wellbeing”"
“The framing of anti-trans hatred as in the interests of women and lesbians is false. As a survivor and an “adult human being belonging to the female sex class,” let me make this clear: [‘gender critical’ transphobic] CUSW’s rhetoric only exacerbates the danger I face in public.”

My issue with a lot of the people on the "left" in TERF island is that they'll (correctly) argue against trickle-down economics, but then put forward an argument for a trickle-down rights/justice system, where us uppity queers have to bite our tongue. I simply will not.
