No evidence. Politicized justice to save their asses. I have not the vocabulary to express my loathing and contempt for these people, who have absolutely no shame, no honor, no integrity, no respect for the constitution. Despicable, vile, criminal, corrupt and cruel.

We can play football with a nation engaged in genocide. But we can't play football against trans people who have done nothing wrong. The Football Association is a disgrace.

Farage is the worst of people. I had two emergency abortions after my tiny babies died but did not miscarry. Without those abortions, I could have died. My fertility could have been permanently affected. If Farage gets his way, women will die. #AbortionIsEssentialHealthcare #Women'sHealth
