I will be on BBC Radio 4 @ 8pm tonight on the Moral Maze debate (I'll have approx. 2-5mins of air time!) to debate the #humanity of the #Olympics. Look up human rights violations & the Olympics if you're interested. I will be taking the anti-Olympics side. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

That was a fun discussion - I ❤️ a good debate. The opposing side literally came out & proudly said okay well we know the Olympics is messed up but just watch it - so let's just be complicit in the face of #humanrights violations 🤦🏽‍♀️anyway thanks for having me BBC 4's Moral Maze.

Have a read of this & then decide whether you want to be complicit & continue to "celebrate" the Olympics. Abuses extend to athletes too. Athletes are human, they deserve better. #HumanRightsForAll #Olympics #Olympics2024

I've mentioned this in the various BBC radio interviews I've done & answers of the opposition remain to be along the lines of "yh it's bad but can u stop ruining the Olympics for us & just enjoy it!?" - the #Olympics will always be corrupt, this is 1 of many cases. #OlympicGames

In a interview, to save face, one opposing side said "well the IOC have a Refugee team" - let's not fool people. IOC's refugee idea is tokenism rather than a humanitarian cause. Have a read of MacIntosh Ross & I's article here to found out why. #Olympics theconversation.com/from-sanctioni…

A far-right Telgram group with 13,000 members is sharing a list of 39 immigration-related charities, advice centres and solicitors as targets for arson attacks on Wednesday night. The group also includes calls to murder ethnic minorities, anti-fascists and government ministers.

If you are a #student or a staff member at a #University or School or any institution - I urge you to contact senior management & ask them to release a statement condemning the #RaceRiots. Let's see those EDI words come to life when we need it. Actions speak louder than words.

Do not be shocked about the Purge like state of this country right now- it was only a matter of time. This is as a result of yrs of constant conditioning through media & blame language towards people of colour & the poor for #UK's problems & not the rich(who are never taxed btw).

Stop referring to initiatives as a "safe space" just to make ur idea sound good- unless u can legitimately guarantee the psychological safety of people- don't use the term. In fact, a lot of places aren't safe spaces. Using this term loosely can create a false sense of security.
