I have Muslim colleagues. I grew up in a highly Muslim area. I'm am furious that the Islamophobic incitement written by Boris in a newspaper has been completely forgotten (the Tories didn't even make him apologise) whereas Labour is pulling itself apart over antisemitism.

I don't want less investigation of antisemitism. I want more investigation of Boris's racism and dog whistle column writing. Islamophobic attacks increased (and the increase measured and reported) after his newspaper column.

If I were someone of the Muslim faith living in this country,I would be taking a note of who is ignored by the general public. Who's case is not taken up. Who doesn't get defended against clear incitement of hate. And I would be very afraid.

Infighting between Tory ministers spills over into environmental protection. This Liz Truss mess is all over the radio this morning. OK, so she wanted to annoy Gove and get her name in the news, but by hitting out at Clean Air Policy needs (oh look, we might have to reduce use of wood burning stoves, that's silly isn't it) we now have the degredation of authority of the Environment Ministry all over the radio news at the most listened to time.
This is why we NEEDED to keep EU environmental regulation. Without it, our environment protections are exposed to stoopid infighting by ministers. Env policy NEEDS to be long term and forward looking. It can't be that when it's in house. We've enough evidence of that from the past.
I have SUCH rage this morning. Were fecked and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

They've finally released the date that the Orange Monstrosity is visiting my country (13th July). I'm out of leave days so I'm gonna have to take an unpaid day to go protest. Tho maybe if I talk to my line manager they might let me build up enough hours to take it as TOIL.
I wonder if people are hiring coaches/minibuses for the protesting. That would be cheaper than a train to London for sure!

Where is my Chocolate Flavoured Anadin?

I will write deep and meaningful fic, it is the only remedy. *hauls out snarky dialogue and prepares the edit pen*

Oh and while we're in a grumbling mood, Please Stupid-Government-That-I-Didn't-Vote-For, can we have less of this bandwaggon leaping with regard to large families. Either we have a sensible discussion and as a country decide that we would like to impose a cap on the number of children (a la China) via a democratic vote, or you SHUT UP. Because you haven't really drawn a line have you? You've just said "too many children baaaaaaaaaaad". Maybe so, malthus and all that, but without us all contributing to a decision on how many is too much you've just given the idiots in this country the right to take against whoever they like. Well done. Big Society is really gonna get a cohesive boost from your efforts. NOT.
