I’m taking a social media break to focus on doing what I do best - succeeding. Focusing on my script writing over the next few months 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤩 Will be periodically checking DMs. Take care you lot ❤️
I’m absolutely delighted to share that my script was long-listed in the BBC writer’s room #scripted competition, which means that I will be considered for the BBC Voices programme. I found out today that out of 5734 entries, I ranked in the top 1.8% 🤩 Exciting stuff! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
All assaults should be treated seriously, but the reason they’re not is because the kind of men that pretend they care about women and are protecting us, only turn up outraged with tinnies and a bag of coke when a brown man does it. They have failed to intervene for centuries.…
English Black citizen Ms Agyemang from an African migrant family epitomises all that's best about multicultural Britain.

Kids don't just learn from the internet, they learn from us. And that includes misogyny. Boys and girls aren't the only ones who need education. The kids didn't create the internet, adults did. The misogyny is built in. theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
Survivors of coercive control are being punished by the very system meant to protect them. This must change. Important report from the Centre for Women's Justice. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…
Nurses saved lives while ministers saved face—now they’re offered a pitiful 3.6% pay rise, less than almost every other public sector worker. It’s not just “grotesque,” it’s a national disgrace. No wonder strikes are coming. Starmer better not mess this one up.
I was looking at an advert for these last week thinking that the tech boys really do spend most of their lives trying to make sex offending easier….
THIS is why these glasses or any version should NOT exist. I VIVIDLY remember this interaction, I had no idea I was being filmed. This was to be sent to me tonight after I was recognized. This is disturbing. Makes me sick physically, this is violating & WRONG. Fuck you.
Do women ignore red flags or are they told they aren't red flags, they're overly sensitive, & they're bitches for judging a man over things? Do women ignore red flags or do men deceive women about their character, like preventing women from warning each other?
No amount of apps will save women who refuse to take note of the red flags. Women Ignore red flags in an effort to remain perpetually victimized. It's the Damsel in Distress Syndrome. It's as old as time.
If you’re quiet when your mates make rape jokes then stay quiet when we tell you all men are the same. You never helped us. #YesAllMen
Throw back to a thread I shared in 2022 of #policetwitter accounts accusing the black community of ‘playing the race card.’ Nothing’s changed, they’re still racists. @policeconduct #RacistCops
Thread 🧵police officers accusing black & brown people of ‘playing the race card’ widely on a public forum gives us a critical insight into the real culture of institutional racism within policing. How can they believe this is acceptable to *think* let alone state publicly?! 1of
I’m watching the England Women’s Euros Final at home by myself as I don’t feel safe going to my local on my own to watch even the women’s tournament, because of the threat and sexual harassment from the kind of men that riot whilst pretending it’s about protecting women.
A mum & her disabled daughter who were left dead for ‘weeks or months’ could have been saved if an ambulance was sent when the mum called, a coroner says. Mum Alphonsine died of pneumonia while her daughter Loraine died of malnutrition & dehydration. RIP 🙏🏾bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
652 children have died from malnutrition in northern Nigerian in the first 6 months of 2025 due to international aid funding cuts particularly from the UK, the US & the European Union, the charity MSF says. aljazeera.com/amp/news/2025/…
A man has been jailed after a "pursuit of anger" ended in the death of Alana, who was knocked off an electric bike. For causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving, he was sentenced to 5 years and 3 months in prison. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Imagine being a serving police inspector and saying that people peacefully protesting against racism is ‘embarrassing.’ May as well move somewhere else Gadget, as you won’t have a job much longer. #RacistCop
Imagine being a serving police inspector and *bragging* that knife crime isn’t a U.K. wide issue because *your* privileged white kids aren’t at risk of knife crime.
"Knife crime is a problem in all of the UK." NONSENSE. There hasn't been a knife crime in my semi-rural community in living memory. Kids here have a non-violent respectful culture and are parented properly in a community that cooperates with authorities. news.sky.com/story/my-lungs…
Imagine being a serving police inspector and *bragging* that *your* privileged white kids aren’t at risk of knife crime. Hasn’t heard of county lines then. Every boy on our streets is at risk of knife crime.
My kids don't carry knives. My kids don't know anyone who's been stabbed. My kids are not in this so-called 'cycle'. Neither are any of the boys who live in my community. See my bio for the reasons. I'm sick of seeing this nihilistic doom-loop treated as the new normal.
Murder in revenge is still murder. Every child’s death is a tragedy.
He stole a bike at knifepoint by holding a machete to the throat of a child. The father who ran him down was protecting his child and others who may be attacked by him. Why are Manchester Police paying tribute to this monster?
