Exclusive: Bridget Phillipson says politicians have helped fuel hatred and that police are not taking violence against women and girls seriously enough
I think the right and right-wing media have made a mistake in being so open with their sexism and racism. I think they’ve gone too far and that there’s going to be a backlash.
Quick maths suggests roughly a third of the UK population is straight, white and male. So the right keep pissing off the overwhelming majority of voters. And it’s not as if straight white men are all racist homophobic misogynists. This isn’t the tv version of the '70s.
Unfortunately a lot of morons keep falling for divisive propaganda, like all the TERF stuff, but I think things will get better sooner, rather than later.
Can I be an optimist for a moment?
