@sophielouisecc In no way do I condone bullying, but don’t pretend to be a normal uni student. You have thousands of followers and you tweet right-wing bile that incites hatred and division. You don’t debate politics, you don’t respond to any disagreement to what you write.

@darwintojesus @joshuadunford3 AIDS is a disease that is spread between heterosexuals as easily as homosexuals. Perversion is a preference for some heterosexuals as well. Not having children is a life choice, made by many heterosexuals. Many homosexuals adopt children and successfully raise them.

@sophielouisecc In every other job, if a manager is a bully and someone complains, it would be investigated. If found to be true, they would face a disciplinary. If they chose to resign, rather try and be punished, that’s down to them. Raab wasn’t sacked.
