Let’s be clear about something. Not every comparison is helpful. And when it comes to Tourette’s, many of the ones being used miss the point entirely. This is something else I have been having to contend with all week. There is a difference between something that happens around

Al Murray 🇺🇦 I’m absolutely fucking disgusted watching my friend be targeted like this. The pile on and continued bullying of a disabled working class man is repugnant enough, but for SNL and Deon Cole to jump in and kick him while he’s already down is just vile. That’s not comedy, it’s

Between this and Deon Coles 'joke' at the NAACP I truly believe the understanding of Tourettes has been fundamentally damaged and demonised by those who cannot relate to any situation they themselves have not experienced. I didn't choose to have Tourettes, I didn't choose to be

Tourette Scotland have issued a formal response to the Saturday Night Live sketch and have written directly to SNL and NBC executives. They call the sketch “abhorrent” and say it reinforces the dangerous myth that Tourette’s is fake, following the attacks directed at John

Reading the replies this morning it’s obvious a lot of people in these comments would not survive one single day living with Tourette’s. Not one. People think Tourette’s is just “saying a bad word.” That’s the level of understanding we’re dealing with here. They don’t see the

Tic suppression isn’t “just holding it in.” Try not blinking for as long as you can. Or holding your breath. Your eyes burn. Your chest tightens. Your whole body screams for release. That’s what suppressing tics can feel like. Yes, some people can suppress for short periods.

Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone. Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year? Blaming asylum seekers for

Israel is invading Lebanon. Every single media using "ground operation" or "incursion" or "targetted expedition" or "picnic hike" or whatever is covering for an illegal invasion of a sovereign country against international law, and thus supporting Netanyahu's Greater Israel.
