I think my brown Sri Lankan husband will be higher up the list than white Europeans. This is about race.

Sue Allison @soopiya.bsky.social · 1d

I think white Europeans are quite low down the list. But we need to fight like hell for those first in line.

Exactly that. It’s the only time of the year you make any money

Sue Allison @soopiya.bsky.social · 9d

The big shops have already started so us little shops have to follow. Otherwise we’ll be closed down anyway.

It’s so blindingly obvious this is all to allow elections to be suspended indefinitely.

Sue Allison @soopiya.bsky.social · 14d

We’re gonna have to

Sue Allison @soopiya.bsky.social · 14d

Because there is a significant percentage of the population that supports it. We’ve been kidding ourselves that we had become more civilised. They were just waiting under their stones.

I think banning NDAs is certainly going to help. Will make it harder for companies to force women out of their jobs on spurious pretences following maternity leave

Sue Allison @soopiya.bsky.social · 19d

Great work.

Fucks sake. As if it’s not hard enough when you get screwed over by the corporate machine.

My friends and family would never vote Reform. As a family we can’t take the gamble that this country sees sense. I stopped believing in democracy a long time ago. It doesn’t work in the disinformation age.

My husband is a Sri Lankan national with ILR. We spent a year in Sri Lanka recently so must wait another year to fulfil the criteria for minimum days in this country. I just hope we can get it done before the next election. Depressing but vital.

I once ended up in a Twitter conversation with a woman saying she would rescue a dog from a fire over a migrant.

Sue Allison @soopiya.bsky.social · 26d

I think there is a significant majority for this

Sue Allison @soopiya.bsky.social · 26d

It doesn’t matter what he says because his follows are in the ‘do your own research’ camp

Sue Allison @soopiya.bsky.social · 29d

I think he believes it. And maybe no one has told him. They want to keep their jobs

He still thinks asylum seekers are people from asylums, doesn’t he?

It’s almost as if they might have other reasons why they want to remove our human rights.

I’m sad to be living through the DARVOnian epoch

Today the BBc Radio 4 bulletin said that 1000 small boats crossed the channel on the first day of Shabana Mahmood being Home Secretary. Please tell me how that is news not propaganda

Please tell me you are in your living room shouting “Matterhorn” “Matterhorn, for fuck’s sake” like I am.

She’s absolutely right about the institutionalised protection of wrong doers. The industry has always protected onscreen talent from high rating shows and producers they consider indispensable to making them. I hope this furore is the first step in a reckoning. It’s long overdue.

Sue Allison @soopiya.bsky.social · Jul 29

It’s fine to have a difference of views. I don’t believe what you believe. But I’m not going to call you names because you believe something different. You should maybe try to see the other side rather than being so aggressive.

Sue Allison @soopiya.bsky.social · Jul 29

I think trans women are trans women. But I am also not a bigot. I think trans women deserve respect and care, especially if they have encountered sexual violence. But I am in agreement with the Supreme Court that biological women have the right to spaces reserved for the female sex.

I’m sorry that you find it so hard when people don’t just blindly agree with you. Not sure why you would think anything I’m saying would make anyone feel unsafe. If I didn’t have such a thick skin I might feel unsafe when you started name calling me a bigot.
