I’m sick to death of the right wing hatred of everyone who doesn’t fit their world view. I’m here to help counteract it. @guysitsclaire 🦋
- You destroyed a library. It was MORE than a library, it was a food bank, a source of heat for people in the winter, a place for kids from low income families to use the internet, or do their homework. Why destroy something so vital? Yeah you’re so patriotic guys.
- I’m from the UK and I have two young daughters. I’m reading some of the posts from American men telling American women “your womb, my choice”. As a woman and mother I’m absolutely horrified. America wtf have you done, and to your own sisters, nieces, mothers? I’m so sorry because
- Ok explain to me like I’m 5 what’s the fucking difference between innocent women & children being killed in Ukraine, to innocent women & children being killed in Gaza? Why’s it not acceptable in Ukraine but it is acceptable in Gaza? Seriously what TF is wrong with you people?
- I’m SICK of saying it, but I’ll say it again. Asylum seekers can’t claim benefits. You need an NI number to do that. Asylum seekers aren’t staying in 5* hotels. Asylum seekers get £49.18p a week to live on. Could YOU live on that? NOPE. So stop pretending they’re living it large.
- I’m gonna explain one more time. For those who say people on benefits are scroungers. My story. I had a partner, we had a beautiful family, we had a good life, he died. Our youngest was 3yr, I couldn’t afford childcare, we were grieving, I was forced onto benefits. Not asking for
- Said this before but I’ll say it again. Just one lifetime ago in the UK, our grandfathers could buy a home, buy a car, have 3 to 4 children, wives could stay home, take annual vacations, and then retire… all on one middle-class salary. What happened? We had same day GP,

- Said this before and I’ll say it again. If pensioners above a certain income are no longer entitled to winter fuel allowance, then MPs earning over £90k should no longer get energy expenses. Also MPs should no longer get food allowance when they’re unwilling to give free school

- My Dad was able to buy a house, have two kids, pay the bills, we were middle class on one salary. We had same day GP, ambulances within mins, dentists, good education, good public transport, clean beaches and rivers. Now even two salaries would struggle. And the UKs gone to SHIT.
- I’m SICK of explaining why people shouldn’t say, don’t have kids if you can’t afford them. One more time. A few years ago I had a partner, we had a beautiful family, he died. I had four kids, ages 3, 5, 6 and 15yrs old. I didn’t have the luxury of family to help me with
- For Matt Hancock. How dare you blame care workers for taking covid into care homes… My daughter’s a care worker. She did 15hr days to care for her clients. She used PPE multiple times & often had to wear bin bags. She cried SO many times! She was 18yr old, all for £8.60ph.
- Said it before I’ll say it again. If you can afford a holiday that’s fine. But for those of us who can’t, taking your kids to the beach for a paddle, or swim in a river is now a luxury we’ve had taken away. It may not sound like much to you but for us it was everything. So
