Batley Pride
A community led, family friendly LGBT+ pride event for local residents.
www.spacehive.com
We are a very small pride event in a small Yorkshire town (uk). We are in our 7th year and are in desperate need of donations this year so if anyone would like to donate even £1 we would be very grateful. We have had to hire extra security this year. TIA xx

They wanted Johnson. (And what a disaster that was for us).
Now they want Farage. (Would be an off the scale catastrophe for the country).

The view from Llantarnam: combatting the populist right
Alternately insulting and ignoring voters won’t tackle growing support for the populist right in Wales – quite the opposite. Other parties must roll their sleeves up
