@danguage I totally agree. It's an infectious malaise that keeps spreading unfortunately.

@jeremycorbyn Absolutely in agreement and why doesn't this goverment publicise the costs, horrendous costs, of this shameful plan? Because people would be horrified, that's why!

The Rwanda Bill is a disgusting piece of legislation designed to demonise the world's most vulnerable people. This government has done everything it can to make the lives of refugees even harder. What a sorry and shameful legacy to leave behind.

@jeremycorbyn Absolutely! Lets hope Biden and Australia will save him.

Australia's request to end Julian Assange's prosecution is welcome. Julian is in prison for revealing the truth, and should never have been put through this ordeal in the first place. President Biden could end this injustice by dropping the charges, now.

@jeremycorbyn Absolutely, Jeremy! well said. We need a cease fire for ever now!

Palestinians in Gaza are celebrating the first day of Eid outside flattened mosques and among the rubble of their homes. As Eid al-Fitr begins, we must rediscover something very simple: we are all human beings on one planet — and we all deserve to live in peace.

@lynneguist OMG

@HansardHuds @tamsinparnell Very interesting.

@tamsinparnell Our site may be a place to start to see how politicians have referred to homelessness in Commons or Lords debates! Also consider that they may have used other words like 'vagrant' to denote homeless people.

@jeremycorbyn @IslingtonNorth Disgraceful. Even buses are under threat what's next?

Buses in Islington are under threat due to government cuts to TfL. The voices of local residents must be heard and proper funding demanded to keep London moving. Join the Save Our Buses public meeting at St George’s Church at 6:30pm tonight. eventbrite.co.uk/e/save-our-bus… 🚌

@bowers_jake Good one, Jake.

Happy Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month 2022. Here's a music video I made a few years back to celebrate it with. #GRTHM2022 #GRTHM youtu.be/tMuoM3-YliI

@lynneguist @lexicoj0hn @BoswellAffleck @IntermarkLS I thought it was 'hit it off', am I wrong?

@gail13sa @IntermarkLS Isn't this the national flower/symbol of Zimababwe?

How awesome is this? I love South Africa 💞

@lynneguist @sj2915 Maybe this is a new term?

@thatbloodyMikey Mikey, are you the author of the magical book Gypsy Boy? I've been looking for you to tell you i loved the book.

The Photos of Romany people in Lviv, being tied to lamp posts & Painted green, while the Army just watches on… f*cking sick barbaric world

@TravellerRacism What is this? Why are they doing this? We need to know more

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ This is an absolute disgrace. Where is the humanity?

@SorlinSandrine @PoeticsLinguist @CambridgeUP Wow! It sounds so interesting! Congratulations!

Took a while to write but my new book is finally out! Many thanks to my inspirational stylistics and pragmatics friends @PoeticsLinguist and around the world. Special thanks as well @CambridgeUP for their amazing professional advice and support.

@elenasemino @KatherineJWu @TheAtlantic I'd love to read it! I'll look for it.

Great piece by @KatherineJWu in @TheAtlantic about the problems with calling Omicron 'mild', including a couple of linguistic observations from me based on corpus analyses. theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

@jeremycorbyn True. I wonder for how long Tory voters will condone all this

The government breaks the rules - and not just over the lockdown parties. It unlawfully handed out PPE contracts using a "VIP lane" reserved for referrals from MPs, ministers and senior officials. We need a full independent investigation now. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/b/gove…

@lynneguist But not used by Americans? It's so British isn't it?

@lynneguist That's a tough one. I'd probably run a mile.
