@bombszelberger @miqdaad It's not really "going both ways" as it wasn't Muslims taking photos of people at beaches, also you imply Muslims weren't on beaches, that they're some separate other. Also racism is a particular form of hatred as it requires both prejudice and power. Power used against Muslims.

Bizzare that Hackney Mayor hopeful @carowoodley says she's meeting residents on the doorstep so won't do any hustings. As Mayor you'll need to be able to do lots of things that aren't mutually exclusive. @ZoeGarbett is hitting doorsteps and making time for hustings. ✅🗳️👍

@JolyonRubs What price? Not having to pay for the useless, arms dealing, dodgy family Windsor. Rejoining the EU with many trade benefits. Redistributing wealth fairly. Ensuring a livable planet for when people like Neil are gone & stop spouting hot air. Sounds like a great deal to me! 💚
