The “debate” on drug use is totally corrupted by the emotions and prejudice of too many.

We should care about saving lives and helping people, not stigmatising and criminalising those with serious addictions.

They lie about the ECHR.
Just like they lied about Brexit. Claiming if we just got rid of that ‘European’ thing, we’d be free, we’d have control, all our problems solved…
It’s NOT TRUE.
We’d inflict more chaos on ourselves and torch our own human rights framework for NOTHING.
For liars.
Again.

“You don’t look sick”.

Chronic illness is often invisible

Many disabilities are invisible

People can look “fine” on the outside and have devastating disease processes inside their body

They can be living in constant pain, fatigue & exhaustion

Don’t judge a book by its cover

So, Reform would rocket-boost austerity, slash welfare *but not taxes*, cancel net zero progress, do mass deportations, huff out of the ECHR (torching the Brexit deal and our human rights)…
And to top it all off, there’d be this gem of US-funded christofascist authoritarianism on offer too.
Grim AF.

If you wondered why Nigel Farage turned up in US Congress in September speaking about "freedom of speech", this story has the answer

His appearance was orchestrated by a powerful American anti-abortion group that is trying to increase its influence in the UK by influencing the free speech debate

It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years.

He's been on Question Time once.

Nigel Farage, 44 times.

Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.

We’re in the middle of a mass disabling event.

Covid isn’t over and Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness in kids.

Hundreds of kids are in quarantine in South Carolina due to a measles outbreak. Measles disables more than it kills.

All the tear gas & pepper spray?

Well done to Dr Khaled Dawas for explaining Palestinians live under occupation & it is their right to fight that occupation

Another article that fails to talk about COViD being predominantly airborne and just focuses on handwashing only. Also again, no mention of #PostInfectionRisk. This is not a normal situation to be failing to prevent airborne infections.

The idea that kids can’t get or spread Covid was such a terrible lie that has caused an unfathomable amount of illness and suffering
