Up to £3K compensation to women whose pensions the Tories stole is a bargain for the Government. If they get away with this, they'll do it again. Get ready to work till you die in service of Brexit Britain 🇬🇧 🫡 Throwback to 2019 for the @NorwichRadical thenorwichradical.com/2019/08/23/kee…

@TravellerLGBT If I've got the wrong end of the stick and Romanistan was a camp metaphor this whole time then I totally take back everything I said and am fully onboard 😊

It was a privilege to host the “Roma Rights are Human Rights” side event at the @OSCE Warsaw Human Dimension conference today. With thanks to @OSCEHCNM and our civil society panelists @OpenSociety, @ERRCtweets, and Victorina Luca for their insights, this discussion underscored the importance of viewing Roma equity as an indispensable component of broader socioeconomic and political development strategies.

This seems timely to reshare 👉🏽tinyurl.com/2x7ezt3r. Robert Fico is once again within touching distance of office - 5 years since journalist #JánKuciak & his partner Marina Kusnirova were murdered by shady Slovak businessmen, 5 years since Fico's corrupt government was toppled

Welsh #Gypsies & #Travellers are very familiar with the type of 'concerned residents' who are protesting against migrants at #stradeyparkhotel. They have done the same thing to us for generations! An inclusive, anti-racist #Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿doesn't happen on its own, we must fight for it.

'For Gypsies & Travellers in Wales, the events at Stradey Park Hotel represent a direct continuation of the same small-town bigotry and harassment tactics which have been tried and tested on our communities for decades.' ✍️ Jonathan Lee nation.cymru/opinion/gypsie…

My gentle exhortation to @UKLabour to learn from their radical origins, stand by their pledges to properly fund the #NHS, & offer real social democratic alternatives to Tory rule. As Nye said: "We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run down."

A long-read collecting some of my thoughts over recent months working on racism against Roma in the so-called 'justice' system. Short version: It's much much worse than *just* police brutality - it's one big racist system, from police to prosecutors to prisons.

Another statistic? Another 'bad apple' cop? @EU_Commission wake up. Racist police violence is a structural European problem and needs to be tackled at an EU level through a proper legal mechanism #ACAB #KostasFragoulis
European Roma Rights Centre@ERRCtweets

A 16-year-old Romani boy, Kostas Fragoulis, was shot in the head by the police in Thessaloniki, #Greece yesterday. Police act with impunity when they are sure that the suspect is #Roma. The ERRC will make an offer of legal support to Kostas' family.

I speak to lots of journalists because of my work. It's rare to find one who not only gives Romani and Traveller people a fair hearing, but can also cover this much material in so much depth over such a short time. Parrakro tut @MathildaMall! A pleasure being on @MediaStormPod
