Not so long ago we were a country confident enough in itself that the the merest tinted shadow of a union flag in a design was Cool Britannia.
These foaming tossers have destroyed that in the name of their "pride".

1. The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021- a thread.
There’s been lots of misinformation abt the Act's imminent commencement; especially re misgendering being prosecuted as a “stirring up of hatred” offence. Here are some points of clarification about the provisions

Rishi Sunak(January 2023): "We're either delivering for you or we're not... so judge us... on the results that we achieve."
The Times(1st April 2024: "Over 250 A&E patients die each week due to long NHS waiting times."

Two headlines from today's Times which tell you everything you need to know about Rishi Sunak's government.
Cheers mum for the panicked 6.30am text about forgetting to get me an Easter egg. But I'm 38.
(Still a bit gutted though.)

It could be better. We could park any instinct for pure retribution in lower level criminality and look starkly at why people offend and how we might solve it. It needs investment and intelligence.
It needs a little less newspaper bravado and a little more bravery from our MPs.

Here, Jenrick cannot believe that prolific thieves aren’t sent to prison again and again and again.
Does he stop to think why someone steals 100 times? Or that drivers of crime (poverty, education, housing, addiction) need addressing? And prison might *exacerbate* those factors?
I believe in 2nd chances, but not 20th chances.
Prolific criminals are wrecking communities - 52% of crimes are committed by just 9% of criminals.
It’s time to get them off our streets.
We need to build more prisons to cut crime.

I see we've descended to the stage where Farage threatening to eat an easter egg is now considered 'news'.

It's really important to remember every time you read a right-wing commentator claiming the NHS model has failed and needs to be ripped up that it was at its peak of success and popularity just 14 years ago.

Life endangering means to justify unachievable and unnecessary ends.
This is not normal. The ongoing mistreatment and dehumanisation of migrants does not make this normal. This is an outrage, even for a situation so outraged-out.
🚨Scoop w @LHReports: We reveal for the first time that French police boats are pushing back dinghies in the Channel.
Tactics include circling a small boat, causing waves to flood it; threatening passengers with pepper spray; and stabbing boats at sea.

Horrendous child poverty stats this week, complete breakdown of public services including the NHS which is on life support, homelessness soaring and climate catastrophe threatening our very existence
But make sure you email your MP about an embroidered flag on a football shirt
Damn right. I know many people will have strong feelings on this. Sometimes it is hard to get your complaint heard by companies like Nike. If you are from Portsmouth North email me at [email protected] and I will make sure your concerns are listened to by the company alongside mine. 🏴
