Eugene

So, a little bit of a rant, but hey ho, here we go. At the time of the Brexit Ref I was 17 and a half, I'm now 3 years older and have a career and qualifications that rely on the EU.

I was the Labour councillor for Blakelaw and Cowgate and lost the recent election to Reform UK by just 22 votes. I accepted the result. That is democracy. What I did not expect was what came afterwards. Since the election, my family and I have experienced abuse, hostility, personal attacks and even vandalism. Most recently, a political social media post contained false claims about my involvement in the community and local organisations. The claim was later removed, but not before it had already been seen and shared. Blakelaw and Cowgate is not just a ward to me. It is my home. My family lives here. My children have grown up here. We have spent years supporting local residents, community groups and grassroots football because we care deeply about this community. What hurts most is the impact on my family. My children have asked why things have changed so much since the election. As a parent, it is heartbreaking to see them worried and upset because of things being said about their mother. When false information is published, it does not just affect the person targeted. It affects their husband, their children and the people who love them. It makes you wonder how much more hostility your family will have to face simply for trying to serve your community. I am proud of everything my family and I have done for Blakelaw and Cowgate. Despite everything, this is still our home, and I will continue supporting the community I care so deeply about.

@noticearchive @YouGov Brainwashed into knowing how to do research as to where, when, how and when it was invented? Last I checked Glasgow was in the UK.

@YouGov I'm at the point now, if you're partaking in the absurdly obvious lie that the Pakistani curry, Tikka Masala, is British you are part of a mass hysteria. I think, somehow, this reveals how brainwashed British people truly are, even though it's just a dish.

Is chicken tikka masala a British dish? Yes: 39% No: 46% Link in replies

@james6043233812 @chinmusic111 @calvinrobinson The sport has clearly defined eligibility rules that aren't political, the people calling for ethno teams are the ones that are bringing in politics.

The England team should be English. This is not racism, this is common sense. We have lost our minds in the name of diversity, equity and inclusion. It is not “inclusion” when you exclude your own. It is replacement.

@thetimepls @philiphartley57 @calvinrobinson @voxvictoriax Last I checked England was not an ethnostate...

@ramibenzeev @YouGov Yet you'd be up in arms if it was proposed to remove the free bus passes from the over 65s

@YouGov They support “free bus travel” because they foolishly believe the government is paying for it. If they understood that they themselves were paying, their excitement would quickly diminish.

The public support government plans to allow children aged 15 and under to travel by bus for free this August Support: 76% Oppose: 15% Although "strongly support" drops with age... 18-24yr olds: 64% 25-49yr olds: 50% 50-64yr olds: 38% 65+yr olds: 29% Link in replies

@Dis_Allow @dodds_brett @TheCanaryUK I think it's to do with waterway, sewage and environmental regulation cuts, similar to what the conservatives did.

@dodds_brett @TheCanaryUK …and Farage said Labour should let failing water companies go bust. But there’s been no pledge from Reform to actually reduce the dumping of sewage. Tice: (bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-pol…), Farage: (news.sky.com/video/labour-s…)

📍 NEWCASTLE UNDER LYME - Locals were SHOCKED to found out the TRUE nature of Reform's plans.

@GR8N0RTHERN @Rothmus I mean this is my day to day view in Italy so pretty much

@Rothmus “Literally nothing” 😂

This is a pretty common take.

Almost 10,000 likes for straight-up lies by Annunziata Rees-Mogg, quote: "Asylum seekers make up 0.08% of Dorset's population and 44% of alleged sex offences. So unbelievable I had to check. It's true." It's not true, it's utter garbage. I'll go through facts and figures. /1

@gmorrison20221 @Alinavisoo_life @chalky237 Yeah, send back all those invaders, we don't want any Normans, Vikings, Jutes, Romans, Angles or Saxons. Oh, and the Celts can go too. Britain is for the Beaker people only!

@Alinavisoo_life @chalky237 Not only should we close our borders. Every single invader should be sent back with immediate effect.

SHOULD THE UK CLOSE ITS BORDERS? LET'S SEE HOW MANY BRITIANS SUPPORT IT."

@chrism89577722 @Alinavisoo_life Yeah, I mean who's even heard of Switzerland? Or Czechia? Or Austria?

@Alinavisoo_life A country with out borders is not a country

@LesDev727767 @Alinavisoo_life Deploy the swans?

@Alinavisoo_life That’s a land border. The only land border we have is with Ireland. Oh and the internal U.K. nations borders. Hence why Westminster can’t control England’s sea border. How do you close a sea border?

@Patriot53reborn @Alinavisoo_life @charlie_lawson1 Sounds like a wonderful day at the beach that... I hope you have another plan on where to get your fish from as well?

@Alinavisoo_life @charlie_lawson1 Close its borders ! The picture is right we’d need a concrete wall around the country with towers , that’s the only way

@TheWayWeWillBe @Alinavisoo_life Entry only for those who can write correctly in English.* Don't worry, you'll be allowed back in some day.

@Alinavisoo_life Enter only to those who can write English correctly

@FrankConno42803 @Alinavisoo_life There's an easy answer. The sea doesn't have an on/off switch, so unless you want to sit behind a fence whenever you got to the beach, you have your answer.

@philjk10 @GH81573850 @Alinavisoo_life Has nobody told you that you're a dick* Learn English.

@GH81573850 @Alinavisoo_life As nobody told you your a dick

@Originsingamer @StAndrews68 @ABWonderful @Alinavisoo_life I think the vikings and Normans would argue otherwise.

@StAndrews68 @ABWonderful @Alinavisoo_life There's over a thousand years of unbroken rule by Anglo Saxons we became the natives in the land after around 200 years of of that

@charlottemilne0 @Alinavisoo_life @Elliottpluto You going to sit there at the beach behind a border fence?

@Alinavisoo_life @Elliottpluto The border should never have been open. The border at the airport is never open so why should the border anywhere else be open. Total inconsistency?

@fedupoldgu43405 @Alinavisoo_life They don't enter from France though, they enter from the Sea.

@Alinavisoo_life Close the borders and return every illegal that entered from France back to France.
