Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

We are very proud the Deputy Prime Minster @AngelaRayner has been an advocate of British Sign Language (BSL) having learnt BSL. Now it’s time to ensure BSL is placed in every deaf child’s hands because the system doesn’t offer free BSL to parents of deaf children #BSLinOurHands

It’s not difficult:
-To condemn the killing of Israeli citizens & also of Palestinian citizens
-To detest both Hamas as millions of Palestinians do & Netanyahu’s Govt as millions of Israelis do
-To avoid being anti-Semitic or islamaphobic
If you can’t do it, then it’s a choice

Secrets out! Last season, @Heineken asked me to swap socials with @GNev2 to show gender bias on social media. It was fun for me but I think less so for Gary 😂. This season, let’s give sexism the red card, and let’s keep football opinions about football!⚽ #fresherfootball

Mary Earps is about to play in a World Cup Final. And kids still can't buy her shirt.
Sort it out.

15th June #otd in 1996, amazing there were no fatalities when the IRA bombed Manchester. We all remember where we were that unforgettable Saturday...

In the last couple of weeks I've learned from the police / media if I want to avoid going missing or being murdered I need to:
Not be too ambitious or high-achieving.
Not earn more than my partner (too late)
Not go to a park.
Not to drink alcohol.
Not to go through menopause.

Leave people alone to be who they wanna be 🤷♂️🏳️⚧️
Get on with ya own shit
It’s such a weird energy

Nearly 1,400 selfless individuals saved and improved the lives of thousands of people last year, when they donated their organs after death.
At a time of the year for giving, register to become an organ donor and give the gift of life ➡️ bit.ly/3uqpZoi
ALT A pink graphic with purple text reads: 'Nearly 1,400 people donated their organs after death last year, saving and improving thousands of lives'. An illustration of a pink and purple bauble on the left repeats the number again, and the NHS logo features in the top right corner.

Once upon a time,
Slavery was legal
Apartheid was legal
The death penalty was legal
Imprisoning gay men was legal
Beating a child was legal.
Yesterday, a high court judge said sending vulnerable asylum seekers to Rwanda is legal.
Never assume that legal equals moral or ethical.
