![Pride still triggers homophobic pub goers
When Hazel Southwell took over the Royal Oak pub in Erith, south-east London, last December she feared the locals would shun a gay woman with Georgian heritage as she thought it was a Reform heartland.
The regulars surprised her, confrontations were rare and she secured a 400K in funds
for a renovation to change the decor and
60-year-old carpet. But when Hazel had to bar one drinker for posting online hate about a Pride party at the Oak, the bigot organised a boycott of the London pub.
Hazel then feared she would lose her job because of the drop in takings.
"It was difficult to secure the huge amount of funding to be spent on the pub," Hazel says. "It's a shame people have to spoil it by willing me to fail. Before this it was heartwarming that there was such good integration with LGTBQ+ [people], with everyone playing darts."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:grjd3hcat2bq3azu77jkfjw4/bafkreieyspguxtawxo6ul7u3mjkg5hx2q4ffdrs2gchdim2nvdr6gz5hzq@jpeg)

Never thought these words could be applicable to a Labour government:
”– I warn you not to be ordinary
– I warn you not to be young
– I warn you not to fall ill
– I warn you not to get old."

I like libraries, public broadcasting, and a clean environment free for citizens to explore and enjoy.
I like education, liberty to express, and safety nets for the vulnerable.
I like justice weighted equally for those without extravagant resources.
These shouldn’t be controversial statements.

I've been a bit overwhelmed by the response to this piece, though I am glad it resonates with so many people.
Lots of stickers went out today, thank you so much everyone. It means a lot to me. ❤️❤️

The vast majority of the country has no idea the Musk stuff is going on, and as long as there are no elected leaders of the opposition party out there creating friction for tv cameras, the hostile takeover of the country will advance rapidly.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

A foreign-born private citizen with unfathomable wealth & deep financial ties to our nation’s adversaries has seized control of our government and is currently canceling congressionally apportioned spending without a shred of authority.
And no one seems to be able to stop him.
So this is fine.

How odd that when Trump announced his “deal” with Mexico he failed to mention that the US committed to halting the flow of assault weapons from the US to Mexico. Why did he leave that out?

The death toll in Gaza has already been updated to 61,709.
The true scale of Israel's atrocities is only just emerging - and officials must face justice for every single life lost.
So should those who continued to send weapons, knowing full well they were enabling genocide.

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.
Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...
