Another example of how there are great things going on in our world (that the news don’t really talk about).

@SeaGoatGirl created #BolsaFamilia, which helped 36M brazilians emerge from #ExtremePoverty. When #BolsoNazi & his gang sprayed fertiliser of cruelly, aided by some awful media channels and WhatsApp #disinformation groups, it did not take on the latter but it did great on the former. They could now justify their #selfishness and lack of #CivilResponsibility. Throw in greedy, ignorant pentecostal pastors fanning the flames and boom 💥 It's still going btw. Anti-democracy demos 🙄

A child experiencing a mental health crisis, had to live in a police station for two days; no psychiatric places were available.

Chief Constable, Sir David Thompson said his force is understaffed and underfunded after cuts.
He condemned austerity for hitting the poorest areas hardest, and warned of rising crime as desperation increases.
