If you want to understand why little progress is being made on #racistengland, check how this Home Office Minister talks down to a colleague of colour.

Incredible.
#racism #ToryBritain
I hadn’t had the misfortune to encounter this gruesome minister, Victoria Atkins, before, but I see she voted against private landlords, of which she was one, being required to make homes ‘fit for human habitation’, which feels about right. #ToryBritain
Some material for @RosieisaHolt in here, not that you need any extra!

White people telling non white people what the most appropriate gesture is or isn’t for them to take in order highlight injustice by white people against non white people is a perfect summary of the problem, frankly.
#racistengland #racism #idiocracy
If one of the critiques is that #TakeTheKnee is imported from America we should cancel most television, Halloween, Black Friday and about a billion other things too. Idiotic.
“If only black people could find a gesture against racism that we white people can unite behind it will be the end of the problem”, said no sentient being, ever. #racistengland

Update on the world famous English value of common sense and personal responsibility - I’m sure corona will respond accordingly. FFS.
Our country is so so seriously ill. #ENGITA #england #EURO2020

Have I got this right, they’re going to charge for flow tests, cram everyone into offices, send people to countries they won’t be allowed in to, and pack venues and sports stadiums full of audiences, all as cases are exploding? Then tell them all to isolate? Absolute genius. 🤯
Is the government drunk? Has someone given them a joke manual on how to wreck all the progress from vaccines at the 11th hour? Is what I’m reading a parody? What are these fools doing? Seriously. 🤯
The farcical thing is they think, having totally mismanaged the entire health situation from day one, that what they’re doing will compensate for it by reviving the economy. If millions are having to self isolate there won’t be a functioning economy. Utterly mental. #ToryShambles

Just a public tender from Westminster City Council for a provider to manage a
‘Temporary Body Storage Service’ in the event of ‘excess deaths’. The contract is for the next 4 years. Almost as if they aren’t telling us something.

Screen grabs in case it mysteriously disappears. #ToryCovidCatastrophe
Note it was published in mid June. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thread 🧵

One of my kids is at the age where there’s a need to start thinking about secondary education. Having grown up abroad it’s proving quite the revelation. I can barely believe what I’m learning about our education system & it explains so much about what’s wrong here. 1/
Option 1. Do nothing & end up with a state education that by any international standard is sub optimal. Cut off many routes for his future.

Option 2. Submit him to selective testing and the stress of it, tuition programme etc, so that he gets in (if he passes) to a grammar. 2/
Option 3. Pay 30,000 a year for him to be privately educated. There are two more siblings one year behind so that’s nearly 100k/year for several years, to produce English public school boys. Not an enthralling prospect.

But option 4 is the absolute banger, coming up next…3/

I want to be governed by intelligent people again.
The people who knew exactly what #Brexit they were voting for are definitely going to know exactly when they should wear a mask.
#july19th #ToryBritain #idiocracy #COVID19
Instead of being guided by data and clinical advice, we are currently ensnared by a PM being held in a headlock by right wing ‘freedom fighters’ who walk around carrying pints of milk as a symbol of their intellectual vacuity. None of it can end well. #july19th #FreedomDay
