Marcus they attack you because they cannot control, they attack you because you and others hold this infantile vicious callous uncaring government to account. Long may you do so. I stand absolutely with you.

Really interesting with the anti-trans-Brigade – who often protest that they are not anti-trans-– is their use of section 28 tactics. ‘Protecting others, protecting children, protecting people who don’t know better, protecting adults.’
They are protecting their bigotry.

You know no shame, do you? The anti-Europeans spent 40 years failing to respect a referendum result and nobody uttered a word of condemnation.

We are so close to the 1930s with a lack of faith in political parties, the rise of maniacs or idiots with political charisma, and a media that attacks and demonises any opposition to its selected point of view. Speak out. Speak out
“We’re not that many steps away from the 1930s, so it is important for leaders to stand up and say, ‘certain things are unacceptable,’” says Anthony Gardner, former US ambassador to the EU

Proud to have voted for this. Proud.
BREAKING: Peers vote by 354-235 in favour of the so-called 'Grieve 2' amendment to the EU Withdrawal Bill giving Parliament the power to prevent a no deal Brexit. That's a thumping majority.

That which need not to be remembered, nor embellished or folded into albums for remembrance in future: when two become one and like a gearshift in the double helix our DNA is changed. Today would’ve been his 56th birthday. Celebrating him. And us.

Just heard some disturbing news which if true strikes at the heart of a society that calls itself equal.
BBC News staff have been told they cannot attend pride marches or black lives matter marches because they are ‘political’!

It is a straightforward lie. And I know. I wrote the Schengen Border Code into law for the European Parliament and EU.
This is a straightforward, uncomplicated lie. We're not even in the Schengen agreement. The tweet should be withdrawn.

I would argue one of the finest, independent, courageous speakers of my lifetime. And I’m quite old. John Bercow how I miss you and following precedent you should take a place in the House of Lords. I’m willing to give you mine.

This unrelenting media and government attack on
@stonewalluk
should send shock waves thro the LGBTQI+ community. It has occurred becos Stonewall decided to fight for equality including for trans-people.
I will never surrender the rights of others in order to make myself safe.
