broke: former-prince andrew's arrest was delayed time and time again by a stubborn desire to protect the reputation of this country's most powerful family and a dogged refusal to address the full extent of corruption and abuse in british politics and the aristocracy.

Just the good people of the Cotswolds bullying the Vice President of the United States. We're also going to fine our own foreign secretary £2,000 for fishing with Vance without a loicence in Kent. Yes, we are that petty. Fuck you, David Lammy, you genocide enabling fascist ball-licking cunt!

Vance is also meeting all of our far right politicians, including Farage and Jenrick. This is the worst timeline.

“You know this is live on the BBC, right. So we have to be careful what we say. But we’re alright, we’re not that outspoken of a band… ;) Free Palestine! Each and every single time.”

So if you're in the UK you have probably heard about the proposed changes to disability benefits. If not, here is a BBC News article (link) about it, and the Big Issue (link) have been running basically non-stop articles about it since the announcement.

Crucially, the government is holding a consultation. Will as many of us as possible weighing in change the outcome? Possibly, though it's far from guaranteed. Will not filling it in help the situation in the slightest? No. So let's all have a go.

You can find the full Green Paper here: (link) and the options to respond are at the bottom of it, including the link to respond online, which is also here: (link)

It's also always worth contacting your MP to let them know what you think, if only to get a response on fancy Commons stationery. You can find your MP here: (link)

So, have at it, UK folks! (These proposals don't apply to Northern Ireland as benefits are transferred, but they are still taking NI comments and sharing them with the Department for Communities, so you may be able to influence whether this approach is taken up in NI in future, too)

And if nothing else, please reblog!

Edit: because people are still reblogging this, the consultation is now closed. Thank you for caring!
