Dear UK Media:
No, Disabled People Aren’t Getting Free BMWs — And Here’s the Truth You Keep Ignoring

A thread 🧵
Woke up with a distant and random memory this morning. When I was young my Nana regularly took me to the International Flat in Glasgow when she went to see her friend, Stella. 1/2
Had a quick Google and have only now realised the significance of this lady and her work. With all that’s going on in this world today, we need another Stella

I think it's lovely that this lady's granddaughter escorted her to an event, despite her obviously having no idea where she is...
24 years ago today I started working for @bournemouthuni . Still here - can’t be that bad!

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence.
It took time. #GenocidePreventionDay
I have no strong feeling about football commentary l. I feel very strongly about xenophobia #IStandWithLineker

Now that we have concluded the important business of censuring footballers for upsetting the governing party, can we perhaps focus some critical attention on the immoral, unworkable and (by the government’s own boastful admission) probably unlawful Illegal Migration Bill?
