Pushback against “ugly” @imperialcollege logo: new branding drops the words ‘College’ and ‘London’ from its title, leading union to raise concerns about focus on “pejorative historical connotations”.

Powers in the Policing Act criminalise Gypsy and Traveller communities' way of life
We're in court alongside @GypsyTravellers intervening in Wendy Smith's case challenging the discriminatory Act
More here opendemocracy.net/en/romany-…
ALT A quote from Louise Whitfield, Head of Legal Casework at Liberty: “The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act criminalises the way Gypsy and Traveller communities live and is a direct and hostile attack on their way of life. The powers in the Act are discriminatory and disproportionate. The Act gives the police vague, sweeping powers to do things like seize vehicles – potentially leaving families, including children, destitute. It also completely ignores the chronic national shortage of places where Gypsies and Travellers can stop or reside, or the fact the police already have ample powers to remove people from land. Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities are among the most persecuted and marginalised communities in the UK. Instead of criminalising an entire way of life for Gypsies and Travellers, the Government should be seeking to make sure their rights are respected and upheld.”

The decision by the RNLI to not accept money raised by a fox hunt was welcome news but it has forced into the spotlight the fact that fox hunting is still LEGAL in Ireland.
RT if you agree fox hunting should be banned!

The far right mob which stormed the Cenotaph was whipped up by our media and politicians.

My Labour government will ensure every child can fulfil their potential, regardless of their background.
We’ll put debating and speaking skills at the heart of education, to boost confidence, raise standards and smash the class ceiling.

My comments at the Women's and Equality Select Committee when asked about diversity by @KateOsborneMP
It's vital that gender & diversity is an integral part of the curriculum. Removing it would be unethical & compromise rights. It would be a dangerous disservice to young people.

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff

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

First they came for the refugees, then they came for drag queens and trans men & women, next up was protesters, then they came for lawyers, next was the turn of climate presenters and national treasures, and now they’ve come for sports presenters.
You don’t have to agree with all of the above, but you do need to defend their rights, because if you don’t, then when they come for you too, who’ll still want to stand at your side.
Put aside your prejudices, hatred and fear is their weapon of choice, rise above it, you’re better that this, and them.
The Government are systematically targeting dissent and silencing criticism, they’re controlling our public broadcaster, and the narrative, because that’s all they have left.
This is a pivotal moment, a slice of history, you only need to decide if you want to be able to hold your head high and say that you stood against tyranny and creeping fascism, or forever regret enabling it.
