Tomorrow is the day to put yourselves in others shoes. The disabled facing devastating welfare cuts, the families who can’t make work pay, the students saddled with debt, the children living in poverty, the workers on zero hour contacts, the “freelancers” trying to make ends meet in the gig economy, the asylum seekers being charged for emails to the Home Office, the workers denied tribunals, … Continue reading This Election Day vote for change

Chechyna Fundraiser: The People’s Film Club presents Paragraph 175

One Day Without Us

Just one question. Where would we be without them? I know where I would be. My wife wouldn’t be here because they wouldn’t be there to heal her. I wouldn’t have been abled to study for my degree. My cats wouldn’t be treated. My house wouldn’t be warm. My clubbing life wouldn’t be as rich or vibrant (or occasionally very random). Those late night beachside conversations would never happen. My … Continue reading One Day Without Us
