Protests for Palestine human rights are now quasi illegal in Amerika! SHAME!

Next Sunday 12pm: Join us to demand a democratically elected head of state, not one that is inherited

Monarchy symbolises privilege, elitism & deference. Time for change!

New Tory NHS policy is a pre-election 'culture war' stunt, using trans patients as political cannon fodder

NHS is right. Sex should mean biological sex. Gender identity is different but equally valid. Solution: trans wards?
