'... which the Federation of Conservative Students did in the 80s, when the scrupulously impartial BBC board member Robbie Gibb was its deputy chair.'

"It would be like someone taking the phrase “Free Nelson Mandela”, from the Special AKA’s hit single of the same name, changing it to “Hang Nelson Mandela” and making it into merchandise...'

Kholoud is also #295 on the PaliLiberation list- I don’t know what their process is but I do see many families I’ve independently verified on it- I sent them a message just to find out beacons.ai/paliliberation

Kholoud’s family include Lama, 16, Falastin, 14, Khaled, 13, Ahmed, 12, Ahmed, 10, Amal, 8, Samar, 7, Mahmoud, 6, Kamal, 6, Lian, 3 and Sidra, 3

It cost me a lot, but I will never regret standing w our student protesters, who risked their very safety & entire careers not just to stand with Palestine far away, but for the right to free press, free speech and the freedom of assembly at home for everyone.

UK queer history only gets mentioned in passing during chats in the Werk Room, and this history never goes beyond that aside from the occasional runway look. This show is meant to ‘celebrate’ UK drag, but as we’ve known for a long time, it doesn’t, because of the RuMichelle chokehold on this show.

Tayris this year mentioned a few times she was in Brighton’s ball scene.
