I encourage people to read the whole @NorwichPride position statement. We know some people will be happy with this and others won’t agree. We do recognise that most many activists locally and @labourlewis ARE good allies, but the words and deeds of…(1/3)

Norwich locals stood between the Brook Hotel and the miserable sods who came to yell at the people living there. Some vile stuff shouted at the hotel and us, but no violence. F# got drunk and hobby, but as always, failed #RefugeesAreWelcomeHere #Norwich

Had a lovely conversation with a reporter for NRT, a Kurdistani news channel. Utterly unafraid of the shonky bigot brigade - my new hero. Residents in the hotel couldn't see our welcome signs, but at least she could broadcast that #NorwichWelcomesRefugees

Thanks to #Unite @UniteNorfolk and #ACORNtheUnion @AcornNorwich #StandUptoRacism and of course, our unaffiliated Norwich neighbours Good speech too by @labourlewis as one of the few parliamentary representatives left, it seems, on the correct side of this particular issue.

Excellent in Ipswich today. Big welcome for refugees and very much the opposite for the meagre turnout of far right protestors. Well done to everyone involved in jeering the fascists off, and for showing so much love to the residents ✊🏼 #RefugeesAreWelcomeHere #NoPasarÑn

CW: transphobia, fascism This is a call for genocide, the programme of which is already in process in the US - at stage 8 of 10 'Persecution'. In the UK we are at stage six, 'Polarisation'. Allies, please stand up.
Michael Knowles tells CPAC that "there can be no middle way in dealing with transgenderism. ... Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely."

Please read and share this research. Far right activity is increasing - not news to most of us - and it's useful to have that information ready to share. hopenothate.org.uk/2023/02/2…

A message to journalists: We will not speak to you about Brianna Ghey. We've had to fight off and reject journalists in our emails recently, and other activists and organisers have had to do the same. Some journalists have even used us to try and access other groups. 1/2
