I regularly receive threats of violence, get called a "nigger", told to "go home" or that I can't be English because of my skin.
I won't stop speaking out. I will never let the thugs win. But social media companies must do more to stop threats and abuse.

2019 and this is what our county has gone back too??? Hideous that these racist and misogynistic fuckers are so emboldened when they should be so bloody last century.
They want to blow shit up... I am certain that these kind of unhinged individuals think democracy is at risk if we do not have a no deal Brexit... while trying to shut up out representatives through violence... the right wing nasty irony.

The sad part is it was temporarily socially unacceptable and now is being modeled from the top once again. When leaders engage in thuggery, it emboldens the masses.
