I know we’re all terrified by America right now, but you need to know what is happening in Britain, there’s so much shit going on, but here’s some of the highlights:
The UN have condemned the British government for “grave” failures regarding disabled people’s rights. [x]
There are over half a million people using food banks, because they cannot afford to eat. [x]
The benefits system is declaring people fit to work, ignoring the opinions of their doctors, and refusing them money unless they spend 35 hours a week actively looking for work. These include people with severe disabilities, mental health issues, and people who are literally dying. In fact, around eighty people a month die within six weeks of being declared fit to work by this system. [x]
16.7% of the population is living in poverty, with a further 30% at serious risk of slipping into poverty [x]
Children are suffering from such severe malnutrition they’re having to be treated for rickets. [x]
It’s currently estimated that 1 in 200 people in the UK are homeless. [x]
This is just a tiny snapshot, and I won’t even go into the NHS crisis, because that deserves it’s own massive post.

since it’s Audrey Hepburn’s birthday here are some cool facts about what a badass women she was
(1) during world war two Audrey worked for the resistance and did what she could to fight against the nazi in holland even though her parents were supporters of the nazi party going against her parents anti Semitic and racist beliefs she fought for justice
(2) after her retirement from acting she became a UNICEF Ambassador Audrey lived in occupied holland during world war two so she knew what it was like to grow up hungry so in her later years she worked tirelessly to make sure children in warn torn countries had the aid they needed
(3) ” I can testify to what UNICEF means to children, because I was among those who received food and medical relief right after World War II, I have a long-lasting gratitude and trust for what UNICEF does.” Audrey Hepburn was so much more then just a style icon and an actress.
(4) “There’s a moral obligation that those who have should give to those who don’t.” Audrey Hepburn my love you are deeply missed
