Working class academic. Anarchistic author. Think I look like Elsie Tanner but probably more Sue Pollard. [email protected]
We .@WorkingClassCol have Gone LIVE with our new Kickstarter please share & support and have a read if you are interested in Working Class people telling their own stories - Please please share kickstarter.com/projects/lockd…
Tomorrow's going to be interesting will we be arrested for talking about grooming gangs as its Islamaphobic at the same time people are being arrested supporting PA- authoratarianism is where we are at. It starts here and ends with Jack boots stamping on a face
The working class are no longer represented by any political party. They have no voice: nobody will write about them, make films about them, far less advocate for them. They are expected to die quietly. share.google/dO6z4pMmVbVVvH…
#Newsnight The Labour Government will probably start banning all protests in specific areas. Which of course will make it worse. The right wing & the far right aren't setting an agenda they are reading the room.
The dreadful story of the mother & her Downs daughter who died in Nottingham is not the first time this has happened. We have desperately vulnerable people in this Country that are barely given a thought to. spiked-online.com/2024/01/24/bro…
My thoughts on #Oasis they are working class men and they speak to other working class people - its never been a secret.
Oasis resonates with working-class Britain in a way the likes of Kneecap never will. So many showily ‘political’ acts do not speak to ordinary people’s lives. The Gallagher brothers’ swaggering reunion is a tonic in an age of conformism, says Lisa McKenzie…
🏠This is a remarkable statistic: More than 24,000 council homes have been sold under Right to Buy since the 1980s - almost as many as the council now has left under its ownership in the entire city... @nottslive #LDReporter nottinghampost.com/news/nottingha…
And 'we are going to employ a talented, witty & clever working class artist instead' said no one ever.
Editor's note on the removal of the SAF cartoon from our 20 July edition: We are genuinely sorry for causing offence, and we are taking the cartoon down. bit.ly/46g5b7P
GB News should not have done this it was a shit thing to do. No serious journalism should do Vox Pops because they always go for the elderly, the poor, and people with learning difficulties .@novaramedia & Channel 4 also do this
That GB News clip attempting to humiliate an autistic black Brit has badly backfired. The young lad struggles to answer questions about Afred the Great, but he comes across as good-natured and patriotic. He should be treasured, not mocked, says Rakib Ehsan buff.ly/A8NcpAP
To the Labour Party: Don't think holding an enquiry about Orgreave will curry favour in the deindustrialised communities they still won't vote for you.
I can hear the aged middle class left right now proudly announcing they 'collected for the miners at Cambridge footlights/Oxford or wherever' and how they have waited for this for 41 years. Meanwhile our communities were devastated & are in ruins
ORGREAVE INQUIRY ANNOUNCED! The government have announced an inquiry will take place into Orgreave. Please see and share our press release otjc.org.uk/orgreave-truth…
Nepotism thats what happens ' the end reult is always mediocrity when you employ people because of who they were born too rather than allowing takent to come through. Look at the arts & culture industry its at best mediocre because of the barriers working class creatives face
Blimey, The Observer used to have cartoonists such as Steve Bell, Peter Brookes, Chris Riddell, Posy Simmonds.. What happened? @ObserverUK
Theres no better example than Water debacle showing us our politicians have absolutely no power. Even if they wanted to change the situation & they probably do there is nothing they can do about it. They can't take back 'private property' (the companies) into the State
Its not right when News organisations do Vox pops to make people look thick & stupid or bigoted especially when they purposefully do it to people with learning difficulties & the elderly @GBNEWS did this week but Novara has done it for years 2:45 youtu.be/_H8T8XSk78M?si…
I think any social housing in the UK would be welcome without mould.
I can understand the call for the UK and Europe installing more air-conditioning (it’s got hotter!) But, if that’s the case, there’s *also* the need to install more shading. This is social housing in Barcelona by the way…
