To be against brutality , to be against cruelty , to be against dehumanisation - these things are an extremism , while relentless violence against children is diplomacy #gaza #epstein #justice #equality #humanrights

Today’s a victory for BBC’s relentless appeasement of far right, for Labour Together which prefers Farage cos they can say “vote for us because we ‘re not Reform”, for our bigoted press - but I will NOT despair & I will stand up for those who woke up feeling more threatened by the hate in the world
