I would say I'm "discussing Knife crime" but honestly I just want to learn, right now.

"No kid out there just wakes up and decides he wants to be stabbing people" - @ScarcityStudios points out the responsibility of the parents and the adults who facilitate, encourage and teach youth crime.
"You can't just blame Drill Music. Because if you blame drill you have to blame Hollywood." You have to blame Video games. The violence isn't coming from one culture. "It's not black. It's not white." - @ScarcityStudios
"If a white boy is caught with cocaine, he's less likely to be put on the Met Police website than the black boys" - @ScarcityStudios
"If they invested as much into the children as they do into the police, they would actually see results" - @AndreaB33774513 points out the decline in youth support since 2008.
"I've worked with young people for a long time. And a lot of them are disillusioned. They feel limited... Some of the teachers don't care about the kids. So the kids don't see any options." - @pfbmusic also points to a lack of inherited family businesses among black communities.

Never forget:

The 48% all literally voted for the same EU Deal.
The 52% are STILL fighting to change the one they ''knew'' they were voting for, 5 years later.
The Tories want to modify the deal that took us out of the EU.

The DUP are saying that their followers will commit acts of violence over the summer if the the deal that took us out of the EU isn't changed.

Here's why calling homosexuality a sin is betraying Jesus.
Happy #PrideMonth2021
Let me just knock some of the counterarguments on the head.

1) "It's not BEING gay that's a sin; it's gay sex."
i covered this at the start of the video. So the "God of Love" would sentence millions of his children to a life without it?
#PrideMonth2021
This one I just got asked on TikTok.

2) "But what if they say it can be removed by praying the gay away."

Billions live & die without ever seeing a bible. That's why the bible says they'll be judged by how good they are. An obligation to pray to remove sins doesn't match that. Image

OK let's see how many times Matt Hancock refuses to answer this question:

Did you tell government figures that people were being tested when they went from hospitals to care homes.

He's ignored ONE from Laura Kuenssberg so far...
#DowningStreetBriefing
Oh my god this is a goddamn train wreck!! 😂😂😂😂
You can see Laura Kuenssberg still trying to ask the question again as Matt Hancock moves on, then @carldinnen tries again...
And it's just amazing!

This is just getting creepy now. 😬

@talkRADIO just uploaded 2 minutes of insults about me without showing the tweet they were calling me a plank for or making any logical argument against the politics of it.

Are you people OK?
@Iromg @CarverEmily @willgeddes
Mike Graham is now attacking me for my appearance.... OK. Image
Watched 5-min segment on Youtube.🤢

Didn't even show my tweet🚫
They say I claimed UK democracy is just as bad as Belarus🚫
They say I worked at a law firm.🚫
They say they want to see me hit with an iron truncheon in a Belarusian prison.🚫

Belarus, the only other European country that uses our FPTP voting system, just arrested the organiser of last year's protest.

Belarus is often called Europe's Last Dictatorship, but really it's the UK's Ghost of Tory Future.

To anyone who thinks I'm exaggerating...

PLEASE, tell me why else a government would give itself the power to arrest people for simply being noisy at a protest.

I'm waiting?

There's a reason it's historically called "Creeping Dictatorship"!
Under the Tory Government's #PolicingBill, the police can decide that any protest is too noisy and jail the person who organised it for a year without the person ever even seeing a jury.

THIS weakens our ability to call out regimes like Belarus for arresting protest organisers.

Boris Johnson and Priti Patel want the police to start fights with peaceful protesters.

Why else would the Policing Bill give officers the power to arrest protesters who are being 100% peaceful? #NoisyAndAnnoying
The government's justification for a law that fines people up to £2,500 for simply raising their voice at a protest, is to stop police being assaulted.🤔

Does that make sense?
Is assaulting police legal now?
Do they NEED to silence protesters to keep cops safe?
#NoisyAndAnnoying
@pritipatel @GMB @BorisJohnson @MathildaMall @DeborahFW @HumanRightsCtte Use your head! You KNOW that's total b*******s.

The irony is:
The fastest way to start a riot is to stop a protest and yet...
This government is effectively banning protests but claiming that they're doing it to stop riots.
