Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

When I see commentators using terms like “DEI” I immediately suspect that they’re trying to ignite a US inspired (and maybe funded?) culture war here. Because the acronym used in the UK is EDI - equality, diversity, inclusion - linked to the equality act 2010. www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/1...

Perfectly expressed.
"I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. 

Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. 

That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. 

If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after"

At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain.
