On Monday Jeremy Hunt declared the UK has got much wealthier since the 1980s #GMB: "The Joseph Rowntree Foundation says more than half of families who are not claiming benefits are now struggling to make ends meet" How many food banks did we have in the 1970's, Jeremy?

“People have a right to express ideas that offend, shock, or disturb us.” Wrong. As has been shown, time and time again, you have the right to HOLD your ideas without consequences, but you don’t have the right to EXPRESS your ideas without consequences. Learn the difference.

The excuses & denial is nauseating. It isn’t enough the founder murders a much loved pub landlord, they act irresponsibly by attaching flags to council property attack anyone who’s tasked with the removal including council staff, they associate with child abusers. Joe wins comment of the decade 👏🏼
Official Statement Raise The Colours

Raise the Colours wishes to make clear that we were not aware, and have never previously been aware, of the allegations reported concerning Ben Cullen (Raise The Colours OXFORDSHIRE). This is the first we have learned of the matter.
Ben Cullen (Raise The Colours OXFORDSHIRE) was not affiliated with Raise the Colours. From time to time, members of the movement may have been present at the same flag-raising activities as him, or may have put up flags alongside him, but this does not mean he represented, was part of, or was affiliated with Raise the Colours.
We make efforts, where reasonably possible, to ensure that people who attend or support flag-raising activities do so in good faith. However, Raise the Colours is a broad public movement, and we cannot be responsible or accountable for the private actions, conduct, or alleged conduct of individuals who may attend, support, or appear at public activities.
We take allegations of this nature extremely seriously. As this is now a matter before the courts, it would not be appropriate for us to comment further on the specifics of the case.
Raise the Colours remains focused on its aims and activities, and we will continue to act responsibly.


Comment by a member of the public in response: 

Joe Marcangelo-Lyons

So what you’re saying is that the actions of a single individual don’t reflect on the wider group? Interesting.

Better diagnosis doesn't "create" autistic individuals. It just means we are diagnosed. I didn't magically become autistic when I got my diagnosis. I always had been. Too many see the increase in people being diagnosed as a reason to restrict diagnosis rather than actually provide genuine support.
