When politicians & folk like Tommy Robinson talk about how UK is a 'Christian country' they often do so in opposition & hatred to a group eg Muslims/Islam. It's from a place of othering & weaponisation in contrast to actual Christian leadership who talk about an inclusive & loving Christianity.

Trump claiming Sadiq Khan wants sharia law in London is longstanding far right anti Muslim propaganda that exists within certain conservative & right wing circles which should be called out. You may disagree with Khan's policies. But suggesting he's implementing sharia & "controlled by Islamists"1/2

is religious bigotry & anti-Muslim. No ifs no buts. Whatever one thinks of Khan he has been democratically elected by the good people of London THREE times. If he is not an eg of a British success story,of integration than frankly no Muslim will ever be considered to be good enough.

#Yellowface by R. F. Kuang is the best book I’ve read so far this year. Probably last year too. It’s an old-fashioned pager turner. The narrator isn’t particularly likeable which makes a change. It’s a horror, a satire, a thriller, a detective story. I loved it. #booksky📚💙 #filmsky🎥💙 #womenauthors

Here's a little Friday tip from your auntie Candy. Toxic people (racists, abusers, narcissists, etc) can be nice. In fact, they will be absolute sweethearts if they want something from you. The phrase, "well he/she/they've always been nice to me" is why so many victims stay silent. Remember that.

So migrants will only be able to hold high paying jobs. This means Britons will disproportionately hold low paying jobs. And what happens to unemployed migrants who have young kids born in the UK? Do we deport children too? Or leave them parentless? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
