To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery. From Earthseed: The Books of the Living (Parable of the Talents- Octavia E. Butler)

Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer us your most precious treasures to be stolen…

@UKLabour We are British citizens who have family abroad. We are wives, husbands & children with family members barred from joining us because of extortionate visa fees. Most of us are not rich, many of us are now debt-ridden. Stop exploiting British families!
Reunite Families UK 🧡@ReuniteDivFamil

Really worrying that the Home Office is thinking of yet again increasing the visa fees and the health surcharge As we said last week with @MigrantVoiceUK and many others... people shouldn't be treated as cash machines. We need #ActionOnVisas thetimes.com/article/b9154b…

...on a lighter note, I've finally finished watching #Atlanta and #Lupin I feel bereft. Both great series in different ways 💟

The comments section of Twitter is broken. Who are all those randos tweeting AI responses under nearly every tweet? 😒

@MigrantVoiceUK If this is happening to Americans married to Brits, can you imagine how Brits married to people from less respected countries are being treated???The whole system related to family reunification needs to be burned & rebuilt from scratch, with humanity at it’s core. @UKLabour

This long read in @guardian is beautifully written and made me cry more than once (where is the equivalent in the US press?) Not much more I can say except to take some time to read about those who risk their lives to shine light into the darkness. Thank you Nesrine.

@SipidMind @Bryan_hmm @BBCNews did you not do due diligence with *that* article? Since it was published, that poor lady on disabilities has been crucified here, but not as much as Yasmin. Also somebody posted pics of the pensioner interviewed. It’s like a rage bait piece.

@Bryan_hmm BBC did a very poor job with this whole post/online article, the difference between her earning and the rest of the profiles is just wild in UK context, the fact she was pretty much the only non white in the piece didn’t help either.

To some degree the hate Yasmin is receiving is also because she’s a black woman The British mind cannot fathom a black person receiving a 6 figure salary, especially a black woman … bad business.

Oh fuck off, Yasmin.

@Habibakatsha Gambia has amazing beaches but outside of that it’s quite underdeveloped sadly IMO. I felt angry for the people that so much is geared to (*literally*) pleasuring tourists & not much else. Senegal & Côte D’Ivoire are my recommends (brush up on high school french!)

@theashrb The comments were miserable. Just because it’s possible to exist on 21k doesn’t mean that everyone wants that for themselves. Life can surely be better than just scraping by & lambasting those who want a bit more for themselves (not millionaires but not miserly either).

You man saw a £150k salary and your first instinct was to hate on her, but not even question the only real issue issue which was the cost of childcare 🤣 this is why this country will never amount to anything good. British plebs are their own worst enemies.
