The issue isn’t Lineker tweeting about politics. It’s that the BBC bosses (Gibb, Davie and Sharp) are all Tories and to them, he was criticising the wrong side.
We need to reclaim our country from corruption. It’s not about stopping the boats, it’s about stopping Tory votes.
A rare extended video looking in to what this is really about.
Lineker is a scapegoat. The issue is the migrant bill. The issue isn’t the BBC, the issue is it’s run by Tories. They corrupt everything they touch.
We need to root them out of positions of power and influence.
Ps: Thank you to @campbellclaret for making me aware of that important quote and for smashing it out of the park this week - you’ve done important work.
Never be a bystander.
A four word quote that is more poignant than my usual four letter expressions of rage and disdain.

With death profiteering from Tory friends, lords and donors hitting *some* headlines, it’s time to revisit Exercise Cygnus, a pandemic preparedness simulation carried out in 2016.
You know of what happened during the pandemic could have been avoided, but how much?
1. Exercise Cygnus was a government simulation of a flu outbreak, carried out to determine Britain’s pandemic readiness.
2. It involved 950 officials from the govt, NHS, prisons and emergency response and took place over three days in Oct 2016.
Participants were asked to imagine they were fighting a “worst-case-scenario” flu pandemic affecting 50% of the population and causing up to 400k deaths.
As a photographer, I have frequently had to temp to top up my income. Working in customer service for social housing providers was the worst job I had.
In the wake of the horrifying, avoidable death of Awaab Ishak, this is a thread of my experiences.
1. In training I was told how to "overcome objections" from tenants that have mould and told to send leaflets and not raise inspections, no matter how severe the infestation. I grew up in a council house full of mould. I'm in my 30's and my mum's house is only now being treated.
2. Classist and racist microaggressions were common, the attitude of management was that tenants should be grateful for what they're given and their complaints were automatically disregarded as unjustified or entitled. If I tried to raise a job regardless, it was cancelled.
This is my only official profile there, can’t login to my old one because that place makes no sense whatsoever.
I won’t lie, I absolutely detest the site but joining as a back up.

Found a few people but you’ll probably need to find me as it took ten minutes to even find the search function.
To clarify, I fucking hate it there and I’m spite joining in order to claim my username. If Twitter goes under I might not even go there. I will likely just use TT and YT.
The obsessive, parasocial, familial fixation people have with Corbyn is bizarre. He’s a flawed human like the rest of us but for many he’s a fanatical fixation, it defies reality. He’s not the sole gatekeeper of socialism. Making any politician a personal idol is very unwise.
I placed Corbyn on a pedestal, deliberately turned a blind eye to any shortcomings. Some say I’m a Starmerite but I was more fanatical about JC. That changed the more I learned about politics, because individual populist figures aren’t saviours, real change is a group effort.
I don’t hate Corbyn, I don’t think he’s a terrible human, some elements of him are good, others definitely are not. I just find it beyond galling that many people are willing to forfeit our future prosperity because they refuse to let go of an unworkable fantasy from the past.
As news outlets report the prospect of blackouts, whilst letting the government off the hook and repeating their lies, here’s my take on the intense lowlights of the Tory Conference 2022.
Give us a General Election.
Now.
Finally! Only had to attempt to upload this fifty times and was eventually forced to screen record it from a saved video on my phone.
Right, don’t mind me, I’m off to scream in to a pillow.
If you like it show me some love because the time and effort this took was unreasonable on all levels, not least because the clock app was being a massive c***
#Blonde is one of the most intrusively exploitative films I’ve seen. A crew of men should never have directed the legacy of a vulnerable woman, she’s been further abused after death.
Ana de Armas is spellbinding and the vile film has incredible cinematography but it’s nauseating
Norma Jean suffered terrible trauma, abuse, a horrifying childhood, rape, sexual assault and domestic abuse, but with hard work became world famous. She was well read, sensitive, talented and deserves better than misogynists giving her the Weinstein treatment after her death.
Marilyn was abused by men all her life, exploited and used. Hefner bought the crypt next to her and, sickeningly, a man named Richard Poncher chose to be buried face down above her so he could "stare at her from the afterlife". She’d suffered enough without this spectacle #Blonde
