Re: the above tweet: I almost didn't want to share that because there are so many levels on which it is horrifying. To know that your spit is a murder weapon, and then to seek out someone who has to serve you to pay their bills, and then degrade them as you kill them: no words.
This poor woman, her poor family. Just a devastating act of cruelty. And the context: one in five London Underground workers have been assaulted by passengers. This was already dangerous enough work. google.de/amp/s/www.bbc.… #BellyMujinga
"As a vulnerable person in the ‘at risk’ category and her condition known to her employer, there are questions about why GTR didn’t stand [Belly] down from front line duties early on in this pandemic." - @TSSAUnion tssa.org.uk/en/whats-new/n… #BellyMujinga
#BellyMujinga’s death is the starkest example of what happens when transport workers - who have been facing “a growing tide of violence and abuse” are seen as disposable by those they serve. bbc.com/news/uk-englan…
A few of you have asked if there is a fundraiser for #BellyMujinga's funeral expenses and for her family - there is a link to one here if you'd be able to give or share: gofundme.com/f/rip-belly-mu…
