This is truly awful - and way beyond what even the headline suggests. “Of 514 cases reviewed by the trust so far, 315 patients have been found to have suffered harm, including 77 who were significantly harmed. One patient is known to have died” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The ‘legitimised’ right are gradually turning the country into one full of bullies, vigilantes & thugs empowered to act with impunity. How much further must it go? When are our gov. going to stop trying to appease & take proper action to dismantle these organisations & their propaganda channels?

A short thread on “legitimate concerns”. The phrase is used repeatedly by UK government ministers. The Home Secretary is at it again this week. But only ever - as far as I can tell - in one context: people’s response to the arrival of asylum seekers. Please read whole 🧵before responding - thanks

In among all the piss taking about the stunt ‘referendum’… This lady articulates so clearly the real, awful & fast impact that nasty right wing rhetoric & division has, on people living in our communities. Is this the country people really want us to become? It’s the direction of Tories & Reform.

The statement hasn’t helped at all, because it hasn’t given any clarity on why postponed/cancelled - and on why some are postponed & why some cancelled (why are some different to others?). ‘Updated legal advice’ doesn’t tell us anything as to why so much local gov. time & cost now down the drain.

If only there were some legal term for where 12 or more persons who are present together use or threaten unlawful violence for a common purpose and the conduct of them (taken together) is such as would cause a person of reasonable firmness present at the scene to fear for his personal safety.
