Even in private property, we cannot express ourselves. The same people who rage about having the British flag being a freedom of expression also say the LGBT+ community cannot do so. Our rights are under threat.

This is the superyacht Prince William is holidaying on right now using your money. It costs $450m and is 150m long.
Which doesn’t mean the media should collude in the exploitation of the children for PR.
Kensington Palace have shared a behind-the-scenes video of Prince George's birthday picture. Siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis feature in the adorable film.
A fully elected parliament, sovereignty of the people enshrined in a written constitution and an effective, elected non-partisan head of state. That's what Britain needs. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy republic.org.uk/a_new_british_…
Royalists will tell you it's all too hard, that without this one billionaire family the country will be nothing. They're wrong. This fabulous country deserves better. Let's make it happen. Change the country for good. #AbolishTheMonarchy #NotMyKing republic.org.uk/join
Sewage discharged into rivers after heavy rainfall. National disgrace for 36 years of England's water privatisation. People fleeced, investment neglected, dividends paid, bosses rewarded. Nothing will change until profit motive removed. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

🗳️ Do you agree with Labour giving 16-year-olds the ability to vote at the next general election?
Intriguing to hear so many of the objections to votes at 16 today. Consciously or otherwise, so many are exactly the same arguments which were used about every single extension of the franchise since the 19th century.
