Some @ExtinctionR people got the police involved, accusing a couple of young men of pickpocketing. They have just been searched by police who found nothing. Now the police are doing an immigration check on them. Potential deportation for at worst some petty theft. Well done XR.

On the stage a speaker is announcing international solidarity and the crowd cheers. While close by a couple of brown people get harassed by police, and at risk of deportation. Absolutely zero is done by the crowd. There is no XR plan for how to deal with this.

The defamation case against Equity could’ve bankrupted the union, so Equity took down the tweet. Free speech hero Laurence Fox gagged the elected committee with expensive lawyers. No pay out. Just the satisfaction of using inherited wealth to shut down criticism. Proper snowflake

I told them they didn't need to give details to the cops but it was too late. Some XR guy pulled me to one side and argued that it was justified. I was like "some valuables vs potential deportation are you kidding?" He wouldn't budge. The cops found nothing, this is horrible.

Some other guy came to help, speaking another language to the two guys surrounded by cops. And the cops asked this bystander what HIS immigration status was too. ACAB.

The arguments by the XR guy and the Police Liaison Officer was "what if that was your mum's valuables?" 😂

b) GE2017 was the highest turnout in 20 years, so there are fewer politically homeless people now than since 1997. Unluckyyyy.

Equity release statement calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
"It is clear that a mere humanitarian pause will only delay more bloodshed. We call on the UK Government, and British politicians of all sides to stand up against genocide, and focus on getting hostages home, not the punishment of civilians. We demand that the UK government calls for an immediate ceasefire."

The other day I was asked for tips about becoming an actor. They said they "couldn't imagine doing anything else". My main bit of advice was to *definitely* imagine doing something else. You will definitely be unemployed and can't only get your self-worth from acting employment.

Been writing this thing about class and theatre, and I've found it sooo interesting to think about how we internalise the prevailing culture of theatre. We get into it because it's great, you get to fuck about, think about ideas big and small, hang out with fun people. It's class

As theatre workers we're often so grateful to be in work we don't ask enough about our pay and conditions.

Genuinely why are people getting excited about the potential end of Boris as PM? They'll just get in Rishi Sunak, and the stupid liberals will call him Dishy Rishi again and the Tories will stay in for another decade. Or they'll get in Priti Patel and then it's the end times.
