Have Harry & Meghan ever actually hurt people in the UK?

Have they ever deprived poor kids of school meals? Cut people's benefits? Sent covid patients into care homes? Crashed the economy?

So why is there MORE hatred for them than the politicians who did?
#HarryAndMeghanNetflix
i.e.

Harry and Meghan are just celebrities.

Most people assume celebrities are spoiled asshole...
But nobody hates them for it.

So what is it about the first bi-racial couple in the Royal Family that makes them more hated than the MPs who are driving millions into poverty?
People have so many reasons to be angry right now... But we only have a limited amount of energy...

So ask yourself whether your anger is being directed at the wrong place... And if so... Why ?
#HarryandMeghanNetflix
Maybe, JUST MAYBE...

It's because your newspapers have no problem accusing Meghan Markle of murder because she eats avocados...

...But mourn the loss of a Tory PM who UNLAWFULLY sent infected Covid patients into care homes, contributing to 200,000 deaths.

I tried to avoid using the word "stupid" before 2019 because there's a reason why European Law is a whole course at university.
e.g. You can be a brain surgeon and not know what the Single Market is.

But I'll start keeping THREAD of Brexit arguments that are objectively stupid:
"The news must show the pros & cons of Brexit equally."

‼️STUPID‼️

Even the BBC only admitted they should've covered businesses "less negatively impacted".

Brexit has objectively damaged our economy.

So saying the pros & cons are equal would be LYING!
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
"You don't need to understand the single market to reject political union"
‼️STUPID‼️

If you don't understand the EUs economy benefits you CAN'T make an informed decision.

Benefits = single market = political union:
Shared law-making = no trade barriers!

Was just doing some research on pre-referendum Nigel Farage and saw these tweets were put out one after the other.

12.22: EU immigration makes us less safe

15.11: I'm horrified that someone killed an MP, because they believed EU immigration made us less safe.
@Nigel_Farage
Nigel Farage promised that Brexit would deliver £2-3 billion every year for the fishing industry.
(to the tune of Pirates of the Caribbean for some reason)

But the fishing industry says it's costing them £300 million over 5 years.

Nigel Farage said Brexit would make us £10 billion richer.

Instead Brexit has made us £100 billion poorer.

The main effect of private schools is to give rich kids an advantage over the poorer kids.

They are tools of inequality, ensuring social injustice.

Does that sound like "charity" to you?!!?

No? Then they shouldn't have 'charitable status' or the tax breaks that come with it.
Trolls saying "Femi, you went to private school" in 3, 2...

That's where I learned there are 2 types of privilege:

1️⃣ thinks it deserves it
2️⃣ knows it doesn't

The advantages it gave me weren't deserved and DEFINITELY shouldn't effectively be state subsidised as charity.
We're the 4th most financially unequal country in europe. And the 6th biggest economy in the world.

The money is there to create a fairer society by making sure businesses, individuals and institutions (e.g priv schools) pay their fair share in tax, and "level up" state schools.

Can we please put the "4000 fewer doctors due to Brexit" story in context?

Our main weakness in the pandemic was STAFF shortage, not beds.

Shutting the economy to prevent NHS overload was therefore based on staff.

That puts avoidable Covid deaths AND economic damage on Brexit!
From 23 June 2016, every EU doctor and nurse, knew they'd have fewer rights in the UK than they'd have in any other European country.

This is what Brexit did to our NHS.

It's time we start treating politicians who break the rules like the criminals they are.

Their crimes are WORSE than anyone sitting in a UK prison cell!
#Fpolitics: Andrew Bridgen Lobbying scandal.
And yes... I filmed this BEFORE the news about Gavin Williamson started blowing up. 😬

Why is @RidgeOnSunday letting Michael Gove tell blatant lies about Brexit on TV?
#Ridge @michaelgove
I mean SERIOUSLY!

I had to deal with a moving target, mockery from his assistants, as well as filming it myself with a self-stick & a phone...

And I STILL held Michael Gove to account on Brexit better than @SkyNews did with a multi-million pound studio!!
