A giant left-wing political banner in one of Britainâs biggest cities has been condemned as antisemitic for portraying Theresa May wearing Star of David earrings.
The banner, which was hung at the Bearpit roundabout in Bristol, depicted Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May facing each other, with positive slogans endorsing Jeremy Corbyn and negative statements about Theresa Mayâs policies.
honestly I try not to be over-dramatic about politics bc a) itâs my job and b) Iâve learnt a lot about the perils of that. but genuinely. a Corbyn victory makes me feel fucking sick to be stomach. just the idea of this stuff becoming completely normalised, 100% validated. for it to be okay in Britain to invite Hamas to parliament. for it to be okay to not even subtlety hate Jews under the guise of being anti-establishment.
@the people I know campaigning for him. I will not forget
I feel so bad for Jews in Britain right nowâŚtheyâre left without a good choice. Labor is run by Corbyn who is an antisemite and, more importantly, enables antisemites. And on the other hand, the TorysâŚjustâŚfuck.
Everyone I know is like âWow! you must be so excited about moving to England!â Meanwhile Iâm just over here watching this shitshow unfold like
I present a tableau of innocence. Their beguiling innocence in no whoreâs trick, but the real thing. Their purity is guaranteed. Is any price too high for such a treasure? Our rules are simple. The highest bid secures the prize to do with as you will.
If you ever feel like youâve fucked up just remember that a whole TEAM of people designed this cash machine to be 15 inches off the ground and no one along the way thought âmaybe this has a design flawâ
“Cash machine”
Yes. Here in the UK people call them cash machines, I know thatâs an odd concept to get your head around but I think together we can do it
actually thats really handy for folk like me, just saying
yea, i just love how something that inconveniences abled people is considered a flaw, but something that is literally exclusive of disabled people, to the point where it renders us unable to do these things without help [if at all], is just considered the norm; thereâs no pictures of ATMâs that are way too tall or made without braille, broken elevators, completely inaccessible entrances, &etc. floating around on this site, referring to them as flawed [or, lets call it what it really is: morally reprehensible], because abled people have the world so tailored to their needs, they donât even see that shit – and when they do, they just shrug their shoulders and think, âeh, oh wellâ.
iâd love to line up all the people who used that and ask them âgee, isnât it extremely hard – not to mention, humiliating – to use something that is so obviously made for everyone not like you, that they didnât even care how it would affect you? now take the 15 seconds you spent at that machine and apply to the whole fucking world.â
(this is in nottingham I think, apparently it’s ending up this height because it’s on a hill – they should deffinitly have considered this though)
I remember my lecturer telling us last year that cash machines in this country had had to be lowered when disability acts came in (and I suppose in theory this is meant to have happened country wide, but likely hasn’t)
however, 380 mm (15inchs) is considered the minimum confortable height reach from a wheelchair for design purposes (useful for plug sockets and such) the max reach is 1220mm (48’’) going forwards and I think cash machines are meant to be at about 40’’? but that be where the screen is supposed to be/supposed to be visible from (arm rests on a wheel chair are about 30’’ for reference). So I think this particular cash machine is going to be more of a problem than a help, though wheel chair users are obviously not the only consideration with disability accessability am I missing a group where 15’’ is needed? but for wheelchair users, people on crutches and elderly people for example I think this is equally, if not more, unusable to one that’s too high (this one contrivenes the part of the building regs that deals with disability access just as much as one that’s too high – not that people don’t keep building stuff that doesn’t follow the bear minimum contained in the regs even though they shouldn’t be ><)
