The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

I don't think a lot of people get quite how bad the situation has got with targeted attacks on the migrants rights and refugee sector.
My wife would be very happy if I left the sector I know that for sure. It's also just getting worse, stoked in no small part by government rhetoric and policies.

🔴I wrote about far-right attacks against refugee charities and why some are choosing to leave the sector to protect themselves. It's awful but understandable.

It is alleged that Nigel Farage aged 16-18 (1980-82) vocally objected to the number of Patels at Dulwich College.
A fellow pupil remembers him burning the booklet on these grounds.
The Guardian shows that this witness testimony aligns with the names + stats in the 1980 yearbook
