Imagine my delighted neurodivergent surprise to find that I'm officially being oppressed by Nigel Farage! The far-right, mini-Trumpian wank-cannon has now decided that as well as having "too many" immigrants, trans people and breast-feeding mothers, we also have too many autistic people and children with special educational needs and disabilities. As a white, cishet man, I've waited a long time for this kind of recognition! ?

Bookwomble National Autistic Society response to his uninformed bullshittery:

Mel Merritt, Head of Policy and Campaigns at the National Autistic Society, said: “Nigel Farage‘s comments are wildly inaccurate and show that he‘s completely out of touch with what autistic children and adults have to go through to get a diagnosis or any support at all."

TieDyeDude It's just so f'ing lazy. These comments are idiotic, and can easily be disproven in seconds. I am struck dumb by the mental gymnastics people engage in to support these losers. 2d

#BookHaul 2 was from a cute LGBTQIA+ bookstall in Durham Indoor Market, BookWyrm. It had a good selection of titles for its small size, and a friendly and welcoming owner.
The badge pictured on the tagged book was made locally and says "I have a touch of the 'tism", which I'll wear judiciously ♾️✊?
Mrs. B bought Juno Dawson's "Her Majesty's Royal Coven", which I'll read after her.

Bookwomble The market had a great mix of traditional traders and more diverse stalls, not too gentrified nor too basic. Worth a visit 😊 7mo
