There’s been loads of disgusting things we’ve seen on social media.
It’s sad to think what has NOT been recorded.
Sad to see UK become such a bitter and hateful place.

This is the society we get when the Tories and Reform act to normalise racism in society by making it their official policy. Even when they are outside government, their actions make people think that racism is publicly acceptable because senior politicians do it. When they are in government, the racism clearly is official policy.

Honestly it feels like religion as a whole has been getting worse lately, it never used to be this bad but now everywhere I go someone is blabbing about their various Gods, praising their lords and arguing over their magic books. Scary times are returning.
I thank my lucky stars every day I never got involved in any of this waffle.
Saw some the other day, just some garbage guys giving everyone grief and peeing on the platform too. Hassled a black train manager and called him ‘boy’ and an Asian lady who worked for the staff too.
Middle aged guys who should know better. Emboldened by racism in the country in my opinion.
Staff were having none of it, but didn’t escalate it either.
Later on an Asian man groped a young white lass getting off the train, felt her bum as she walked past. Stood up and called him a c word, but I had to get off too.
I hate the train it’s full of such awful people, it seems like a flash point for racism
