we must stand unbroken, unbound & unashamed (this is what democracy looks like)



Design stolen from some left-wing poster I found on the internet & a quote from Johannes Anyuru, one of my favourite poets.

In times like these, it feels good to listen to someone singing that hospital closure kills more than car bombs ever will.
