I've reported on trans legislation and anti-trans actions in states across the United States for five years, including in blue states.
I distinctly remember some people getting upset at me for reporting blue-state anti-trans actions, saying that it could never happen there.
Sadly, it can.

Obviously the vibe in this country is that when it comes to racist violence - from braying mobs with flags, obscene slurs and bullying campaigns - people of colour should just suck it up

Is this the same Kuenssberg that went so hard on Labour’s antisemitism crisis now ignoring the accusations about Farage? I’m so shocked!
Not a peep on Kuenssberg's show.
The Farage story seems like it's been wiped in time for the Sunday news round.
No mention of it on @lbc.co.uk at least.
No politicians (I'm aware of) have chimed in throughout the whole thing either.
VERY curious.

Seen too many Haywains on biscuit tins? Check Constable's studies, esp. clouds.
Had a fine time in the Turner & Constable exhibition at Tate. A superb display of brilliant pictures by two of our greatest artists.
Poor Constable; still so misunderstood in the labels and catalogue, but, in his own modest and subtle way, he more than holds his own.

The getting rid of juries has, in my opinion, a darker rationale. It means protestors, who are more likely to get let off when juries are involved, will now all be found guilty. Part of a sinister cross party agenda of slowly criminalising protest.

Media need to air these real accusations as loudly as they did the AS smears on Corbyn. #ItWasAScam
I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so.
This is very long overdue.
